Recently, when conducting research in key foreign trade provinces and cities, the reporter found that due to multiple factors such as the continued tension in the Red Sea and the recovery of global foreign trade, the shipping prices for foreign trade exports showed an upward trend. What is the actual situation?

Off-season is not off-season. Freight rates on many shipping routes have risen. The continuous rise in shipping costs has brought challenges to the export of small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises.

Experts said that the fluctuation of shipping prices has brought challenges in cost and timeliness to the shipment of foreign trade entities, but as the cycle passes, prices will fall back and will not have a significant impact on the macro-level of my country's foreign trade. In the face of rising shipping costs, foreign trade companies are also adapting to changes.

When interviewing cross-border logistics companies and international freight forwarding companies, the reporter found that in order to ensure timeliness, some foreign trade companies began to ship orders for the second half of the year in May and June.

Tang Qianjia, vice president of a supply chain company in Shenzhen, Guangdong: We estimate that this situation will last for two or three months. July and August are the peak seasons for traditional shipments, and August and September are the peak seasons for e-commerce. It is estimated that this year's peak season will last for a relatively long time.
