As the epidemic spreads around the world, major outbreaks have occurred in Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and other places. At present, many countries have declared a state of emergency and introduced a series of measures such as country closures and city closures.
Although goods can still be shipped to all parts of the world, the impact on the entire logistics and supply chain is still huge. Foreign trade and freight forwarders please inform each other and be sure to pay attention to the following aspects:
As the destination country announces the closure of the country and the city, many countries, like our country before, have entered a state of working from home and semi-stopping work. This will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in the efficiency of customs clearance and transshipment after the goods arrive at the destination port. Therefore, the transportation time will be extended and a lot of additional terminal storage and other costs will be incurred. Therefore, please be sure to allow more time when shipping in the near future and pay attention to additional costs.
