“MSC, Yixing Shipping and SIPG provide “”land-to-water”” services

Recently, the new crown epidemic has rebounded in China, and the anti-epidemic situation is very serious. In order to further improve the service level of Shanghai Port, continue to optimize the collection and distribution system of Shanghai Port, and relieve the pressure of tight road transportation resources in Shanghai Port affected by the epidemic, SIPG has launched "container land-to-water" services to serve all sectors of society, providing customers with efficient, Convenient water transport service.

Mediterranean Shipping (MSC)

On April 9, Mediterranean Shipping (MSC) announced that it will jointly provide "land-to-water" services with Shanghai Port Group.

MSC said that in the early stage of the new round of the epidemic, SIPG made corresponding preparations in advance to ensure the normal operation efficiency of ports and terminals, and MSC's shipping schedule in Shanghai was effectively guaranteed.

However, since the closure of the city in Shanghai, land transportation has been restricted to a certain extent, which has affected customers' order exchange and case pick-up business. A large number of imported containers piled up at the terminal, resulting in a tight storage space.

In order to effectively alleviate this situation and help customers have more choices, MSC and SIPG actively communicated and cooperated and launched the following two major measures: First, to provide "land-to-water" services to alleviate the current status of land transportation. The second is to actively respond to the call of SIPG to promote the paperless order exchange business.

According to reports, the "land to water" service uses the advantages of waterways to alleviate the shortage of road transportation resources under the epidemic through the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and ensure the timeliness of transportation. The paperless and contactless operation model is an initiative currently being fully implemented by SIPG. MSC said that it will actively respond to help customers effectively ensure the efficiency of logistics and transportation.

Also cooperating with Shanghai Port Group is Xingchen Shipping.

On April 10, Yixing Shipping issued an announcement stating that due to the severe epidemic situation, it is difficult to provide card collection services. To this end, Yixing cooperates with Shanghai Port Group to provide customers with "land-to-water" solutions (Taicang undertakes the Shanghai-Taiwan Stock Connect service) to promote the normal operation of the container transportation business.

Yixing said that at the export service outlets, the transportation fee from the "land to water" port to the Shanghai terminal will be settled by the booking agent directly with the shipping agency, and the rest of the booking operation process is related to Shanghai local export.

In terms of import services, customers can handle the "land to water" entrustment on their own on the SIPG platform. "

“The shipping company notified the port jump, involving Shanghai/Ningbo/Yantian/Qingdao

Recently, a screenshot of the densely crowded ships near Shanghai waters has been circulated on the Internet. The picture said that ""hundreds of ocean-going freighters have been stranded in the outer seas of Shanghai, and the supply chain is broken here.Sea freight severely affected in Shanghai.

Cargo ships around the world in Shanghai port during the epidemic
Cargo ships around the world in Shanghai port during the epidemic

There are differences in the performance of dry bulk carriers, oil tankers and container ships. According to feedback from industry insiders, the reason for the decrease in container ships may be that shipping companies have made port-hopping adjustments to container ships, and canceled ports of call including Shanghai Port, Ningbo Port, Qingdao Port Port and Yantian Port.

Under the epidemic prevention and control in Shanghai, shipping companies responded urgently

Maersk

Yesterday, Maersk issued an announcement saying that due to the impact of epidemic prevention and control, the density of dangerous goods and refrigerated container yards at Shanghai terminals has increased. Customers are advised to ship or transfer the goods to other Chinese destination ports where possible to avoid port congestion. Goods arriving in Shanghai may be diverted to other locations.

MSC

In order to avoid port congestion and ship schedule delays, the 2M Alliance announced that the 17th week of the Jade/AE11 and Shogun/AE1 routes will cancel calls to Qingdao Port and Ningbo Port, respectively.
In addition, MSC issued an announcement on April 7 that the Shanghai port was congested and there were few or no refrigerated container plugs available. MSC will not be able to unload reefer containers at designated ports if there is no power available. Cargo may be time sensitive and delayed unloading may result in damage to the cargo. MSC said that if customers want to make a change of destination (COD), please communicate with them as soon as possible. In addition to the operating costs incurred, a COD fee will be charged.

CMA CGM

CMA CGM issued an announcement on April 8: Due to the impact of the epidemic prevention and control measures on truck transportation speed and available truck capacity, the pickup of imported goods has slowed down significantly, so the container stays for too long, resulting in a greater burden on the Shanghai Port yard. pressure. To prevent the potential occurrence of a reefer container being refused discharge due to a limited number of plugs, shippers are strongly advised to anticipate potential problems and identify options for rerouting shipments.

Hapag-Lloyd

On April 7, Hapag-Lloyd announced that Shanghai Port will not accept refrigerated containers and dangerous cargo containers. These two types of containers will be unloaded at the previous port before arriving at Shanghai Port.

ONE

ONE issued a notice a few days ago saying that the Shanghai port is still in operation, but the availability of trucking is limited, which hinders the customs clearance of imported goods. The resulting impact is that the utilization of hazardous goods and reefer yards is extremely high, especially the Yangshan and Waigaoqiao PH2. Due to operational constraints in the yard, some Dangerous Goods and Reefers (DG Classes and Reefers) may not be allowed to unload if the volume does not hold.

In this case, ONE will arrange a change of destination (COD) to unload the goods at other ports instead, or unload the goods at other transshipment ports and transport them to Shanghai if circumstances permit.

Take the star

On April 11, Yixing issued a notice of jumping to the ports of Yantian, Shanghai and Busan. Since the ship will gradually withdraw from the ZSA service, ZSA-CEZANNE9W will cancel the call at Yantian, Shanghai and Busan.

In view of the above situation, the adjustment of shipping companies' port-hopping and the launch of ""land-to-water"" by Shanghai Port Group have all diverted container ships in Shanghai Port to a certain extent. In view of the increase of dry bulk carriers and oil tankers, generally speaking, Shanghai Port is dominated by container transportation, and the above two types of ships account for a small proportion. It is not clear the exact reason for the increase of dry bulk carriers and oil tankers.

Some people in the shipping industry said that dry bulk carriers mainly transport iron ore, coal, grain, etc., and oil products are in the non-scheduled ship market. The upstream and downstream customers are relatively concentrated, and the transportation is mainly from port to port. The impact of the epidemic on the supply chain is relatively small. At the same time, dry bulk cargo mainly relies on mechanical equipment for loading and unloading, and oil products are mainly connected through pipelines."

Customs fraud

What is customs fraud?

Customs fraud is any fraudulent practice that attempts to reduce the duties (or duties or taxes) levied on goods imported into the United States from abroad.

CBP officers can only inspect a small percentage of shipments entering the country each day. The country's customs system relies on allowing importers to accurately identify the type, value and country of origin of the goods they import, and pay import duties as required by law. From fiscal 1993 to 2018, CBP attempted to collect about 65,000 unpaid tariff bills totaling $4.5 billion, according to a 2019 CBP study.

Not only do dishonest importers defraud the U.S. government of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, but these companies can and do gain a significant unfair pricing advantage over competitors who obey the law and pay the correct import duties on similar goods.

Common types of customs fraud

Valuation Fraud

The most common type of customs fraud involves understating the dutiable value of imported goods. Importers must declare the value of imported goods on entry documents, including Entry Summary Form 7501. They are also usually required to provide copies of invoices from unrelated third parties to determine the "transaction value" of the relevant imports.

Underestimation schemes often involve falsified or falsified invoices, or failure to disclose required components of the transaction value, such as "auxiliaries" - materials provided by the buyer for use in the manufacturing process. Schemes also often involve submitting invoices that claim to be from unrelated third parties but are actually from affiliates or accomplices in tax evasion schemes.

Country of Origin Fraud

Another broad category of customs fraud involves falsifying the "country of origin" of imported goods. Violators commit "country of origin" fraud by mislabeling goods or transshipping goods through a third country to make it appear as if they came from a country with a lower applicable Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) rate or with no import quota for the goods in question. Country of origin fraud is also used to evade anti-dumping and countervailing (ADD or CVD) duties. This type of fraud often involves deceptive practices such as repackaging, relabeling, and mixing items from other sources to hide the true origin.

Tariff Misclassification Fraud

Another major type of customs fraud involves the improper use of HTS tariff rate classifications.

Structured

 

Structuring occurs when an importer divides a shipment into multiple shipments of lower value. Customs law includes a minimal exception whereby imports below a certain value are not subject to customs duties. By dividing larger shipments into many parts, importers can fraudulently claim that the shipment is under the quota to avoid tariffs.

Start your voyage. Honest business competitors are unfairly disadvantaged by competitors who evade import duties. You can fully trust TJ-china freight, we can provide customs clearance services, we are one of the most reliable agents in China!

McKinsey heralds bad news for shippers

Shippers must prepare for events in which the tight container market may not normalize until 2024, according to a new analysis by McKinsey & Company. But the consultancy told ShippingWatch that shipping rates could end up being 50% higher than pre-pandemic figures.

The container market has been strained since mid-2020 due to the huge demand for goods in the United States, port closures due to the pandemic, container shortages and extreme congestion at the world's largest and most important container ports.

The result of the tight market is the soaring of container freight rates. The revenue and profit of container shipping companies in the past two years have experienced historic growth. Last year, the total revenue of the top ten shipping companies exceeded 100 billion US dollars. The punctuality rate has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade.

Some shipper companies, which are customers of container shipping companies, have not stopped complaining about these situations for a long time, and they even believe that container shipping companies should be more strictly regulated.

But this recent McKinsey report throws cold water on shippers.

McKinsey, one of the world's largest management consulting firms, expressed its views on the current container shipping market in a report entitled "Navigating the current disruption in containerized logistics". A large number of new ships have been ordered to expand capacity, but the normalization of the container shipping industry may still be delayed until the first quarter. If the situation is worse, normalization of the market may take until after 2024.

McKinsey also noted that container freight rates will remain high for most of 2022, while disruptions to the container logistics supply chain will continue.

Steve Saxon, a McKinsey partner who is now a container market analyst based in McKinsey's Shenzhen office, said that if you asked us a few months ago for our views on the future of the container industry, we might also lean towards a positive (recovery) view. But right now, McKinsey is leaning more toward a pessimistic outlook -- bad news from a shipper's perspective.

McKinsey proposes four possibilities for the future development of the container shipping market.

In the most optimistic case, the container shipping market may return to normal in the third quarter of 2022. Normal freight volumes, normal capacity offers, and normal freight rates.

But McKinsey also said that the most optimistic scenario may not be possible.

Easily handle international returns

If you sell online, you will inevitably be rewarded. While many online sellers see international sales as a one-way ticket to business growth, few seem to think about international returns.
While cross-border trade is a key focus for online retailers looking to expand sales, it also faces challenges. Specifically, one of the main reasons small and midsize companies shy away from international sales is the fear of returns.
That said, the process is getting easier as governments and postal service operators work together to optimize cross-border e-commerce deliveries and returns.

Take care of taxes and duties

One of the biggest challenges mentioned by small businesses when dealing with international returns is managing taxes and duties. This is because different countries—even states, provinces, republics, and territories—have unique tax laws. Failure to properly calculate taxes can result in delayed shipments, or worse, forfeitures.
In some cases, taxation can be a simple process. For example, there are no taxes or duties on items under $40 shipped from the U.S. to Canada. Others may be more complex and the tools available are invaluable for estimating these potential costs.

Why are products being returned?

A lower rate of return means more profit and more satisfied customers. That's why it's important to find out why a product was returned. Here are some common reasons:

  • Customer receives wrong product or wrong size
  • Product does not match product description
  • Damage to the customer when the order arrives

Of course, the reasons may vary depending on what you sell, your industry, and many other factors.

5 Tips for Handling International Returns

1. Let your customers choose how to return

The first and easiest option for you is to leave the return method to your customers. The only thing that is fixed is the address your client has to send to (that is, your address).
Your customers choose which carrier to ship with and which delivery point to ship the package to. However, this is the least customer friendly solution, so it may cost you switching costs in international online stores.
The advantage is that once you receive the product, you can evaluate it yourself and add it back to your inventory faster.
As an online retailer, you are not reimbursed for returns.
However, if the customer returns their entire order (within the EU), you will have to reimburse the outbound shipping. In addition to that, you can choose whether to let your customers pay for returns. You can make this return method more customer-friendly.
But how?
Extend the return period. Your customers will then become attached to the product or care less about it. This also reduces the chance of returns.

2. Arrangements with International Carriers

If you're shipping a lot, including returns, you can make a lot of deals with international carriers.
A good example is fashion chain Zalando, which has a partnership with DHL for both shipping and returns. By making a custom arrangement with a carrier, you can often not only discuss lower rates, but also get more services from the carrier, such as pickups and returns.
Furthermore, with Sendcloud you can offer multiple shipping methods and optimal integration with local and international carriers. In this way, you can provide a more efficient and budget-friendly return process.

3. Subtly offset return costs for your customers

Our research shows that 74% of European consumers would not reorder from an online store if they had to pay for the return themselves. 77% agree that free returns are more convincing to order from online stores more frequently.
However, if you don't want to incur the return costs yourself but still want some form of service, you have another option. You can add a return label to your order and deduct the return fee from your order refund. This method is allowed since you do not need to be reimbursed for returns.
This is great for customers because they don't have to pay immediately when they return the package. This eases the pain of returns, especially the cost of returns.
More importantly, it makes returns a little easier. 37% of European consumers say they would reorder from an online store if they were offered a quick and easy return process.
So it's also in your favor: your customers will come back to you faster thanks to your easy return policy.

4. Outsource international returns to a local party

Have you ever thought about processing returns through your local party? By doing this, you allow customers to return their products to the party you are working with in the country of sale.
This party specialises in handling consignment/returns and therefore ensures that processes, including administration, run as efficiently as possible.
When there are many packages, the parties can return to your warehouse in large quantities, which is cost-effective. Working in this way also allows you to pay back your customers faster, as the product can be received and evaluated faster locally.
This option is relatively expensive because you are doing external collaboration. However, if you receive a lot of returns (like fashion), it can help you save as much as possible.
Create clear protocols and ensure good connections between your online store, inventory and external parties. When you receive a return notification for a product, you can immediately refund the customer or ship a new product, even before your warehouse receives the order.

5. Easily process returns for you and your customers

Would you rather take your online store's returns process into your own hands?
Then use smart solutions to process returns more efficiently. With the Sendcloud returns portal, you can provide your customers with a simple and smooth returns process.
You can offer other refund options and let your customers decide how to return them using flexible returns.

Does international express need customs clearance?

What is International Express?

International express (parcel), parcels sent by international express, and parcels delivered from China to the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and other countries can be called international parcels. International parcels need to be transported across borders, and any All cross-border transportation requires customs clearance, including export customs clearance and import customs clearance.

For example, if you send a package from China to the United States, you need to clear customs when you leave the country, and you need to be inspected, checked, and inspected by customs staff before the goods can be loaded onto an airplane or a ship at the dock. After the goods are loaded on the means of transportation, international transportation begins, and they are delivered to ports or airports in the United States. After arriving at a U.S. port or airport, it needs to be unloaded for customs clearance, and only after customs clearance can the terminal be transported.

That is to say, when we send international parcels, we must go through customs clearance, and we have to go through two customs clearances, one for the exporting country’s export clearance and the other for the destination country’s import clearance.

Does it have to be officially reported?

First of all, if the inbound and outbound goods of individuals exceed the prescribed limit, they should go through the return procedures or go through the customs clearance procedures in accordance with the regulations of the goods. However, if there is only one item in the parcel and it is inseparable, although it exceeds the specified limit, if it is indeed for personal use after the customs review, it can go through the customs clearance procedures according to the regulations on personal items. That is to say, express declaration can be made, and the express company can declare directly and quickly clear customs.

However, if the import and export of commercial mail, or the amount/quantity of products exceeding the reasonable range for self-use, should go through customs clearance procedures in accordance with the provisions of the goods.

1. International express customs clearance process

The normal international express customs clearance process is: customs declaration - goods inspection - customs duties - release. Under normal circumstances, imported goods are basically subject to customs duties and value-added tax. According to the customs code HS CODE, the tax point is How many.

2. What documents are required for customs clearance?

Customs clearance mainly requires three documents, one is the declaration document, which needs to provide various information of the item, including weight, quantity, value, material, use, etc. A commercial invoice is also required to prove the value of the goods. In addition, there are some special certification documents, live products, liquids, pure batteries, brand items, etc., all require certification documents.

3. What are the customs clearance methods?

The customs clearance methods include general trade customs clearance, express customs clearance, etc. Express delivery generally takes the express channel, unless the value or quantity is exceeded, it will be transferred to general trade.

General trade customs clearance is a traditional customs clearance mode with low customs clearance efficiency, but it is suitable for customs clearance of large-volume, high-value goods, and can enjoy export tax rebates.

Express customs clearance is also known as express customs declaration, express customs declaration. Express customs declaration refers to the way of submitting express quotations (KJ1, KJ2, KJ3 declarations, etc.) to the customs in the name of express companies, and customs clearance of goods in the form of express. The express customs clearance efficiency is relatively high, and the express company can directly help the shipper to solve various matters such as customs clearance and storage, but it is not suitable for the customs clearance operation of large quantities of goods.

In which case, what kind of goods are most suitable for import by express customs declaration (express customs declaration)?

1). Small bulk cargo, a small amount of samples and advertising materials, etc.;
2). Lack of various products from certain units (such as no 3C certification);
3). Urgent goods that are too late to go through the customs clearance procedures for trade;
4) Various products that want to save costs and do not need VAT tickets;
5). Items for personal use.

Do you need a bonded warehouse?

What is a bonded warehouse?

A bonded warehouse is a place used to store and process goods imported into new markets. Goods stored in bonded warehouses are not subject to customs duties (a type of tax). Any applicable customs duties shall be paid when the goods are transported to the next destination. Bonded warehouses can be owned by governments or private companies, helping to improve inventory and cash flow efficiency.
Using a bonded warehouse means that goods can be moved closer to their final destination, and payment of duties can be deferred until the product is moved.

The system provides significant benefits for commercial transactions across different jurisdictions. For organizations importing and exporting goods, bonded warehouses can be used to eliminate the need to pay customs duties, further increasing efficiency.

Why use a bonded warehouse?

  • Bonded warehouses can be an ideal option for importers and exporters of certain products for a number of reasons. These include:
  • Deferred payments for such products mean that no tax is due until the item is sold, which can greatly improve a business's cash flow. In many cases, this can be between 25% and 33% of the upfront cost of imported goods.
  • If the goods are set for export, there is no duty to be paid in the UK, but in the destination country. This means double spending will be avoided, resulting in further savings.
  • Goods can be imported and stored in bonded warehouses ahead of peak season, which means they can fulfill orders without delay.
  • Many times, bonded warehouses have specialized facilities, such as deep freezing vats for storing wine or spirits.
  • Entry and exit customs documents are usually provided by bonded warehouse facilities.

If you're not sure whether bonded storage is right for your business, here are three reasons why you should consider it.

1) Improve cash flow
Delaying payment of tariffs before purchasing goods can have a positive effect on cash flow. By storing your goods in a bonded warehouse, you only pay import duties when the goods enter the UK market, so if you have any difficulties moving your goods, you don't have to pay taxes in advance. You can't guarantee the sale will pay for itself. In bonded storage, all shipments are classified as suspended duty, which avoids prepayment of duty on products that may be in stock for several months.

2) If you export the goods, you do not need to pay import tax
If you're importing to exporting to a non-EU country, using a bonded warehouse is a breeze. Storing your goods in a bonded warehouse means you don't have to pay any import duties on exported products, saving you time and money. This means businesses can avoid paying tariffs twice, often saving around 25-30%.

It's also worth noting that if your goods need to be destroyed without selling, you won't have to pay import duty on them.

3) Port-centric logistics
Most bonded warehouses are located at or very close to ports (for example, John Good has a bonded warehouse in the Port of Felixstowe), which means you can store your goods at ports of entry and distribute them when needed. This lowers costs across the supply chain due to shorter lead times, lower potential for damage, significant savings in transportation costs and lower carbon emissions.

Bonded Factory Goods Clearance

What is a bonded factory?

A bonded factory is a bonded area licensed by the person in charge of the customs to manufacture processing of foreign and domestic goods as raw materials. The bonded factory system is one of the main export support measures of the customs rebate system. Foreign goods brought into a bonded factory, manufactured and processed while retaining customs duties.

Customs warehouse guide

Customs Warehouse: Definition

A customs warehouse is a warehouse where goods are stored under customs supervision and security. They are stored in designated places and are not subject to import duties and taxes until they are designated a final regime.
The type of entry into the customs warehouse mainly depends on the final destination of the goods and the commercial needs of the importer

Types of customs warehouses

There are basically five types of customs bonded warehouses:

Private warehouse
This type of warehouse is owned and operated by the company in which its imported or manufactured goods are stored. Goods from the port are received here and then distributed, for example, to various stores in the retail chain.

Public warehouse
Here, everyone can store their goods for import, export, manufacturing and distribution. Businesses use these facilities to address their short-term distribution needs. When there is no more space in the retailer's warehouse, excess goods can be stored in public warehouses.

Automated warehouse
Many warehouses have been modernized thanks to advances in computer and robotics. They use the latest technology to operate faster and more efficiently. The level of mechanization can range from small conveyors that move goods from one area to another to fully automated warehouses. Automation reduces labor and operating costs. It also simplifies functionality, making warehouses run faster, smoother, and generally have fewer bugs.

Temperature controlled warehouse
Many products require special handling; these include products such as computer equipment, sensitive electronic parts, frozen foods, produce, and flowers. To keep these shipments in ideal condition, make sure your warehouse offers air-conditioned and humidity-controlled space within your specifications.

Distribution center
This type of warehouse helps distribution companies receive products from various suppliers and then ship them to their customers. The point here is not storage, but reorganization and movement. Goods entering a distribution center can be broken down, aggregated or reprocessed, ready to be shipped to a store or customer.

Advantages of customs warehouse

As a major benefit, we highlight the advantage of being able to store goods without paying import duties and taxes until a final regime is specified for their transport.
Also comment on the improvement in the quality of customer service as it makes it easier for the company to get inventory and you will enjoy greater lead time efficiency.
On the other hand, another advantage to consider is cost savings for the company.
