Brazil Strike Delays Cross-Border Logistics, Sellers Need To Pay More Attention To Current Events

It was learned that, since February 23, 2015, a large scale of truck driver strikes have occurred in Minas Gilas, Brazil, and many drivers have blocked the motorway, which has seriously affected the traffic.

Domestic parcel pfer and delivery were delayed.

It is reported that the main reason for the strike is the rising cost of shipping, and the high tax and fuel charges of diesel are the fuse.

In this regard, the reporter interviewed a number of people familiar with logistics operations, they have said that the force majeure incidents such as strikes frequently make China's cross-border electricity supplier sellers in a passive position. Therefore, while understanding the overseas market demand, we should pay more attention to the development trend of international events.

Breakage rate is high and delivery time is long.

Referring to Brazil, it is comparable to Russia's cross-border electricity supplier emerging market, but when it comes to logistics delivery, its performance is not satisfactory.

Since last year, the problem of customs clearance in Brazil has been criticized by sellers.

Mr. Li told reporters that the cost of sending packages to Brazil is higher than that of other countries except for the high cost. In addition to affecting the return of funds, the probability of loss of packages will increase a lot.

"In May 2014, Brazil increased its inventory of overseas packages. Many of our parcels sent to Brazil were detained by local customs because of low reporting.

In addition, a notice was also received in February of this year that Brazil's customs clearance was slow because of the sharp increase in the number of international packages.

Customs clearance speed has become a major obstacle to the development of cross-border e-commerce in Brazil.

He said.

According to reports, the price of diesel in Brazil is about 50% higher than that of the international level. The basic demand of truck drivers is to lower the price of diesel fuel, but the government is unwilling to do so.

Drivers said that even though Brazil's attorney general Cardoso (Jose Eduardo Cardozo) threatened to impose a fine on last Thursday's truck drivers who illegally blocked roads on a 5000-10000 hour per hour ($1700-3400), they insisted on their position.

However, reporters recently learned that the strike has gradually levelled off. As of last Sunday, only 12 of the blocked routes were available.

The strike driver rejected the government's original proposal and the negotiations will continue in March 10th.

Sellers are not responding promptly and need to pay more attention to international affairs.

Li Dongfang, a Dunhuang Internet seller's operation Department, told reporters that cross-border electricity suppliers were often hit by strikes. The big reason was that they did not pay attention to current international affairs in time.

He said: "if the scale of the strike is large, it will have an impact on the logistics, but this effect will be gradually revealed.

It has a certain delay in itself.

To put it simply, when a strike occurs, the seller's product may have been stuck in half way, but the buyer may be holding on to the mentality of waiting, and wait until the limit is reached before he can get the seller's feedback. At this time, the buyer has basically lost his trust in the seller. In other words, the seller will inevitably face some losses.

Therefore, once a strike occurs in a particular country, it is better for the seller to set up the freight template first and not to deliver the goods to that country.

When things are slow, logistics is completely restored and smoothly reopened.

He suggested that sellers should keep track of logistics developments in accordance with the characteristics of difficult customs clearance and unstable conditions in Brazil. If goods tracking information is shown to be delayed, they should first communicate with buyers and explain the specific reasons for buyers to wait patiently and reduce disputes refunds as far as possible.

If the buyer inquired about the logistics information by himself, the seller would be particularly passive, and later disputes would be even more difficult to solve.

"In fact, there are many similar incidents. In the early days, the events in Hongkong occupied a serious impact on cross-border logistics delivery.

At that time, a lot of goods re exported through Hongkong were stranded in succession, such as Hongkong parcel, Hongkong DHL, UPS and FEDEX.

He said.
