Us market dynamics

Freight: The shortage of shipping space, price rises are imminent

According to the latest data, the container freight rate index (SCFI) released by the Shanghai Shipping Exchange has declined for seven consecutive weeks, but this has not eased the situation of tight shipping space. The decline in the US-East route was narrowed, mainly due to cargo clearance and fewer flights after the strike. However, alliance shipping companies have adjusted capacity, from September 30 to November 3, Asia to Europe and the United States east-west route canceled a total of 100 flights, cancellation rate of up to 14%, and brewing new price adjustment strategy. A number of shipping companies such as Maersk, HapagLloyd, etc., have announced a new round of tariff adjustment plans, although the United States line has not clearly adjusted prices, but the shortage of shipping space, the situation is not optimistic.

Shipping Suggestions:

During the peak season, it is recommended that sellers keep in touch with logistics providers at any time to understand the latest market dynamics, especially the shortage of space today, it is best to be able to ship in advance, batch combined delivery, to lock shipping space to logistics providers, to avoid out of stock, out of stock, affecting the sale of the situation.

Customs clearance: The customs strictly checks multiple consignees

Due TO the recent strict inspection of multiple consignors by the US Customs, sometimes the company name will be displayed after the SHIP TO (destination) on the FBA label sent to Amazon, and the customs will require the tax number of the importer of the corresponding company to complete customs clearance, otherwise there will be the risk of customs rejection and return.

"Multiple consignee" means that in a complex shipment process, the consignee on the waybill may be an agent or freight forwarder, rather than the final consignee. In cross-border shipments, agents will often use their own company letterhead for customs clearance, which is inconsistent with the seller's company name displayed on the FBA label.

Shipping Suggestions:

Based on the above situation, it is recommended that the seller: before printing the FBA label, delete the company name before printing the label, so as not to trigger the customs inspection.
