Export Women Shoes Can Not Be Lost In Logistics Costs.

Liu Yumei, a shoemaker, is lowering his head to deal with the vamp on the production line of the kemit shoe industry in Wuhou District cluster bridge. The leather of these Beige high-heeled shoes (A) comes from Hongkong, China. The buckle comes from Italy, and the export direction is the United States.

Through the check of the inspector, it was put into the shoebox and waiting for the truck to go to Shekou port, Shenzhen.

In the "women's shoes capital of China", enterprises mostly use OEM mode (OEM) to produce women's shoes, and more than 80% of products are used for export.

Long distance pportation is unavoidable, it does not produce the benefit, but is in the female shoes value cannot reduce the part.

In Chengdu, which does not depend on the sea, the high cost of logistics has become a real problem. It raises the unit cost of the export processing industry, and also affects Chengdu's undertaking of industrial pfer in the eastern region.

In order to break through the bottleneck of logistics, with the construction of pportation hub, Chengdu strives to improve the logistics status of Chengdu and even the whole western region.

What will this move bring?

We try to see one or two of the value of a pair of women's shoes and their exports.

1 yuan and 3 million and 16 US dollars are the FOB price for the ladies' shoes A, which includes the "ticket" from Chengdu to the port, and the ticket price is 1.6 dollars.

What does this seemingly small number represent?

"This means that logistics costs account for 10% of the price of these shoes, which is 2 times the profits that these shoes can generate," said Liu Ying, assistant director of the card industry.

As a labor-intensive industry, the profit margin of OEM for foreign enterprises is about 5%, and shoe factories rely on increasing sales to get full profits. Liu Ying's enterprises produce nearly 3 million pairs of women's shoes in Chengdu every year.

Liu Ying said: "logistics is a direct cost. If the logistics cost per pair of shoes is only reduced by 1 yuan, we can have 3 million yuan of funds per year and directly convert into profits."

There were rumors in the industry that the cost of pporting goods from Chengdu to Shanghai was equivalent to pporting goods from Germany to Shanghai.

Liu Ying said: "this should not be misled. As far as we know, the freight rate of Chengdu Shenzhen is almost the same as that of Shenzhen, the United States and San Francisco."

Compared with coastal shoemaking enterprises, Chengdu shoe enterprises need to pay higher logistics cost under the premise of the same competitive price.

The construction of Chengdu's western pportation hub will help solve the problem of high logistics cost.

Chengdu's railway container central station, the largest railway container center in Asia, will be built soon. Its completion will greatly reduce costs and time.

At present, railway freight between Chengdu and Shanghai takes 5 to 6 days.

After the completion of the station, the container will be shipped to Shanghai, Beijing and other cities in Chengdu. It will arrive within 48 hours, less than the current road pport.

Liu Ying is very interested in this, he said, at present, most of the shoe companies use the highway to pport goods, this method is flexible but costly, "if rail pportation can increase flexibility on a speedy basis in the future.

Then, our cost will be reduced, and the external quotation will be more competitive. "

For a labor-intensive industry, low labor force is an important condition for attracting industrial agglomeration.

With the eastern region's shoemaking industry moving to the central and western regions, the mutual offset of labor cost and logistics cost is raised as a problem.

It is estimated that every pair of shoes produced in Chengdu can save 20% of the cost compared with the coastal ones.

However, many shoe manufacturers in coastal areas believe that because of the production of OEM mode, most of the customers specify the use of raw materials from overseas companies. Raw material procurement and finished product pportation may offset Chengdu's low labor cost advantage.

Liu Ying said, "building a pportation hub in Chengdu is good for highlighting the cost advantage of Chengdu.

For us, it will also help reduce costs.

Building pport hub to promote logistics, but also reduce the time cost of enterprises.

Liu Ying said that the requirement of orders for overseas customers is usually dead. Considering the time of land pportation, shoes companies usually send goods from Chengdu 3 days in advance.

He said, "to catch the highway and catch the shipping date is to send it by air.

Once the air is pported, there will be a loss of 1 or 2 million yuan.

According to the plan, Chengdu will build the logistics system of "three parks, five centers and fifty logistics service stations".

Dr. Jiang Kejin, the principal researcher of Chengdu comprehensive pportation planning research group, believes that the best logistics status is to control the logistics cost below 5% of the total cost, which is also the direction of Chengdu logistics construction.

In this regard, Liu Ying said: "Chengdu has low labor costs and other advantages, but elsewhere may also have.

By building pport hub to overcome the problem of high pportation distance and high logistics cost, we can remain invincible in undertaking the pfer of footwear industry.

The declaration is not far from the door. A is exported to the United States, and it is necessary to declare before shipment.

Because the port is in Shenzhen, Liu Ying's enterprise has found a agent company in the locals.

However, Liu Ying said: "if there are routine checks, we need to open containers. There may be problems in this link."

With the completion of the Chengdu international container logistics park, which is built in conjunction with the Chengdu railway container center station, it will cooperate with the coastal port cities and pfer all goods that need to be exported at the coastal ports to Chengdu for customs declaration. The goods will be shipped directly from the port to Chengdu after shipment.

Liu Ying was delighted when he heard that: "customs declaration at home will save a lot of trouble."

Liu Ying is very confident about the development of shoe industry in Chengdu. He believes that the restriction of the high logistics cost will inevitably attract more shoe enterprises to settle in Chengdu and form a more complete industrial chain here.
