The "Christmas Season" Peak Of Exports Is Coming. Yiwu'S Exports Increase.

In the world's largest Christmas distribution center, Yiwu, Zhejiang, the annual "Christmas season" export peak is coming.

In the streets of small commodity cities in Yiwu, when foreign trade is the most popular, there are long queues of containers and trucks. When foreign trade is depressed, many empty containers are running on the streets.

On the streets of Yiwu, there are also large cargo convoys full of cargo.

The recovery of the foreign trade industry has also brought hot shipping.

Now, look at it.

The freight forwarding company's salesmen can't do it. It depends on whether he (she) can grab container containers, let her products go to sea in time, and turn them into real gold and silver.

The latest data show that the price of Shanghai's export to the basic European port market is 1315 USD / TEUs, which is about 20% higher than the previous week.

Salesman happy distress: dare not pick up the list.

do

The salesman is most pleased to receive orders, but for Rao Xiaozhen, a foreign trade salesman of the Dragon bag, he is afraid to take orders.

In October 20th this year, a Japanese customer ordered 1000 PC (polycarbonate).

A month is required for delivery.

The material and quality requirements of this batch are very high. The price given by the other party is 20% higher than the general foreign trade list.

According to the general working procedure, as long as the materials are ready, the bags can be shipped out in about 25 days, and can be shipped in about 28 days.

"I asked the production department that the list was arranged until next spring festival. Now the order is placed, delivery is almost 2 months, and the delivery time is extended to 45 days. We still can not arrange the production, so we have to give up the list."

Rao Xiaozhen said, because the production can not be squeezed out, some colleagues can not help giving up the list of more than 3000 bags.

"Now I am very upset, but as a salesperson, I dare not take the list. The tasks of the production department have been arranged after the Spring Festival.

At 2 p.m. on November 6th, Rao Xiaozhen returned to the factory from YiWu Railway Station, and the cell phone was dead. On the same day, her two cell phone answered more than 60 phone calls, and the battery was used up.

Now she has developed a habit of charging her cell phone at any time.

In April this year, Rao Jane entered the Dragon bag and served as a foreign trade salesman.

In the first half of the year, it was quite easy. Since July, the number of customer calls has increased a lot, and there is little leisure in the office.

Rao Xiaozhen has completed the sales task of about 10000000 yuan this year, with a monthly income of six thousand or seven thousand yuan. Now the list does not rush to work, and most of them are delivered after the Spring Festival.

Before June this year, the Dragon bags workers worked 8 hours a day, and basically did not work overtime.

The workers of the company carry out the bottom guard plus piece rate wages, and the monthly income can reach 3000 yuan, and the treatment is fairly good. Other factories are difficult to recruit workers. They are always lack of workers and have greeted by acquaintances.

"More than 500 workers basically cut more than 30 thousand meters of cloth every day, plus PC bags, producing more than 20 thousand suitcases a day."

Zhang Rong, director of marketing, told reporters.

Julong bag foreign trade ministry's plan this year is to complete sales of 100 million yuan, as of the end of October this year, has completed 70 million yuan.

Rush hour for Christmas orders, salesmen rush for counters

"During this period, shipping prices skyrocketing, and Monday's price is rising almost every week."

A customer of Rao Xiaozhen has shipped a high cabinet to Spain this week, and the freight rate has increased by 100 US dollars over last week.

Not only the shipping price goes up, but also the container.

"In the first half of the year, cargo clearance basically followed suit. The ship generation company asked us to load more goods. Now we have to order the container a week in advance, otherwise we can't get on the boat."

As a foreign trade salesman, Rao Xiaozhen obviously felt the rebound of foreign trade boom.

Last Thursday, she asked the freight forwarding company to send a shipment to Western Europe. Second days later, she wanted to revise a message. The freight forwarding company directly said that it could only wait for the next ship after changing the information.

Cao Min is a salesman of a freight forwarding company in Yiwu. The price quoted by her shipping company, Qantas, shows that the cargo ship from Ningbo to Southampton, England, is quoted in October 18th as 1075 yuan, 2050 yuan for a small cabinet and 2150 dollars for a high cabinet.

In November 5th, it was still the same route. The price quoted by Qantas was 30%, 1400 yuan for small cabinets, 2700 for flat cabinets, and 2800 for high counters.

"Most of them are Christmas orders now, and money does not necessarily catch up with shipping dates. Basically, 10 days in advance can be booked."

Cao Min said, now many freight forwarders at the same time grab a ship, want to let the goods go to ship successfully depends on luck, "throw the cabinet" is a common occurrence.

Flask is a very popular term in import and export, shipping and logistics industries. During the peak season of shipping, due to the large volume of cargo and limited shipping space, the shipping company began to confirm that goods with a capacity of over 110% could be pported on time.

Once the shipping space is not enough, the shipping company will refuse the shipment of the lower consignor's cargo and keep the goods to the next or several voyages.

This year, the throughput of foreign trade exports of ports such as Ningbo and Zhoushan in Zhejiang has increased significantly, and shipping companies have increased their freight rates. However, there are still some phenomena of "exploding cabin" and "throwing away containers" in some routes.

According to the recent statistical analysis report of Shanghai shipping exchange, Shanghai's export container comprehensive price index, reflecting the spot market, was 1230.14 points in October 26th, up 4.7% from the previous week.

Shanghai's exports to the European basic port market (sea and sea surcharge) were $1315 / TEUs, up 22.4% from the previous week.

Yao Zheng, a finance professor at the school of management at Zhejiang University, has been paying attention to Yiwu's small commodity market. He feels that from the current data, Yiwu's foreign trade has shown signs of stabilization. The foreign trade of Zhejiang province has also bottomed out, which is inseparable from the impact of Christmas orders. However, whether foreign trade can continue to grow is still to be seen.

Professor Yao Zheng said that from his understanding of the situation, consumption demand in Europe and the United States is still very weak, but many Zhejiang enterprises have achieved growth in foreign trade through opening up new markets such as Russia, Brazil and the Middle East.

Overall, this year's continued downturn in Zhejiang's exports has finally shown signs of bottoming.

The export growth rate ranks third in the five provinces and cities with the highest export value. Compared with the beginning of the year, the "foreign trade report card" of "new low" and "negative growth" has been showing frequent growth.

Hangzhou customs launched the "foreign trade export pilot index" questionnaire survey, showing that Zhejiang's export confidence index and new export orders index rose in September.
