Recently, the most popular phrase among foreign trade enterprises is "Did you grab the container?"
Why is it called "grab"?
First, China has fewer than other countries
China exports goods just likeLED downlight to foreign countries, after unloading the container, the import products back to China, this kind of import and export pattern, to ensure the balance of the container and full utilization. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, many containers are now exported to foreign countries without goods being imported to China, so the containers stay in foreign ports, resulting in a serious shortage of containers in Chinese ports. If you want to move the container back, you need a high dispatch fee.
Second, Exports were busy at the end of the year
The end of each year is the peak of China's export, is basically "one container hard to find". Most of the time, the driver to Yantian Wharf to pick up the container and found that the container was robbed, and then immediately went to Shekou Wharf to pick up the container , and even some retired cabinets were put out. Recently, it is always mentioned that the cabinets are rotten and need to be repaired, which virtually increases the time cost.
Third, Exports rebounded in the fourth quarter
Export growth accelerated to 17 per cent year-on-year in the fourth quarter from 9 per cent in the third, driven by stronger demand for anti-epidemic supplies and household goods, a shift in overseas consumption from services to goods, and an upcycle in the technology sector (see report). Exports to the G3 rebounded to 23% year-over-year from 12% in the fourth quarter, with stronger exports to the U.S. (34% year-over-year) and Europe (17%).
Fortunately, we had successfully picked up containers. Up to now, 12 containers have been delivered, about 500,000pcs led downlight, 200,000pcs led spot light and 1,500,000pcs smart light shipping on board this month, with an average of one container per day. But the 5tn container which loading theled DIY downlight maybe have to delay the container today. The driver who picked up the counter said that for the first time, there has been a lousy ark, can't repair and only have to change an other one, when he get the other one and find that the door handle is problem, and he drive to repair the handle, is expected to be 12 o 'clock at night arrived our factory, but, anyway, at least we get the container, and hope can catch the delivery on time.
