A Large Number Of Foreign Trade Orders Have Been Cancelled Or Postponed. Customer Withdrawal Is Concentrated.

China played in the first half, and abroad played the second half.

Will the Canton Fair be held as scheduled? The latest authoritative response is coming.

On the afternoon of March 23rd, the Guangdong Provincial Government Information Office held forty-sixth news conference on epidemic prevention and control. Whether the 127th Spring Fair will be held as scheduled this year, Ma Hua, deputy director of the Provincial Department of Commerce, made clear that taking into account the current global epidemic situation, especially the high risk of overseas input, the 127th spring Canton Fair will not be held as scheduled in April 15th. Next, Guangdong will comprehensively assess the epidemic situation and actively make recommendations to relevant state departments.

At present, the domestic factories have basically resumed production, and the orders were placed over overtime for more than two months, and they were busy shipping. When the epidemic situation in China was in good condition, the outbreak of overseas epidemic broke out; foreign trade enterprises suddenly received the news of cancellation of orders from customers, because the company generally received only 30% of the deposit of customers, and the cost was far from being reached. Affected by overseas epidemic, customers began to cancel orders in mid March. And those large customers decide to postpone shipment. The impact and impact of this on foreign trade companies is not small.

With the ferment of overseas epidemic situation, it will undoubtedly increase the instability of China's foreign trade import and export and the global industrial chain. At present, the overseas epidemic has not yet passed the peak period, and the foreign trade enterprises are facing the double impact of the supply chain and the shrinking demand.

The biggest hit by overseas outbreaks was domestic textile exporters. Their orders have not been cancelled, they are on the way to cancel. The delay in the resumption of work was delayed by the impact of domestic epidemics. The delay was caused by the first wave of the epidemic. After resuming work, they were worried about the shortage of manpower, overtime work and production, and because of the outbreak of outbreaks of overseas customers, they were hit by the second wave of the epidemic.

In addition to the cancellation of orders, many enterprises also disclosed that as the United States and Europe, many enterprises began to enter the state of remote office and semi shutdown, which had a great impact on the operation of logistics. Now we have to confirm with our customers whether we can accept the goods or not, so that we can greet them in advance and avoid two empty goods. Before the goods arrived in Italy, they were abandoned at the port, and the goods were also withheld by the shipping company. A foreign trade enterprise said.

Zhejiang, a European market leader and chief export operator of men's jackets, said that Europe is becoming a new center of the epidemic. The closure of multinational routes led to poor logistics and serious disruption of exports. At the same time, the epidemic situation in European countries is continuing to spread, residents' lives are affected, local clothing consumption market demand is sluggish, orders decline significantly.

Under the double attack of Sino US trade friction and the new crown pneumonia epidemic, a carpet exporting enterprise from Shandong felt a lot of pressure. The head of the company said that the United States is suffering from more serious epidemics. The exhibition is postponed and the tourism industry is stagnant. The demand for carpet products for local hotels and conference centers is greatly reduced. The newly built hotels may be postponed or shut down, and the original meeting rooms will not be replaced with carpets. The field share is compressed again.

With the outbreak of foreign epidemic, the textile and garment industry has basically stagnated in the European and American countries, and the textile foreign trade people have been seriously affected. Insiders say that the proportion of domestic and foreign trade will be adjusted appropriately to slow down the impact of the epidemic.

"30% to 40% or nearly 50% of foreign shoe enterprises have been affected.

A foreign shoe manufacturer in Wenzhou said to reporters that more than 20 days ago, foreign brand traders who ordered the order also sent people to enter the enterprises. They asked for overtime work to make sandals and single shoes for the season. As a result, the enterprises suddenly rushed to cancel the order a few days before they rushed to complete the work. "Before pushing the delivery, it's hard to get rid of it again. It's impossible to fight a lawsuit like this because it's a force majeure." The other side said that this situation is a common phenomenon in Wenzhou's foreign trade shoe enterprises, such as Germany, Spain, the United States and other brands have cancelled orders.

Reporters learned from a number of foreign shoe manufacturers and trade associations in Wenzhou, because the outbreak of pneumonia in Europe and the United States caused a large number of foreign orders delayed or cancelled. "30% - 40% or nearly 50% of foreign trade shoe enterprises have been affected." Xie Rongfang, executive chairman of Wenzhou shoe leather industry association, said in an interview with the China Times reporter.

Xie Rongfang confirmed that at present, because of the outbreak of the epidemic in Europe and America, Wenzhou's foreign trade shoe enterprises did encounter a large number of orders to delay or cancel the dilemma. Zhou Dewen, President of the Wenzhou SME Development Association, told the China Times: "in conclusion, all kinds of reasons for cancellation or delay have a very big impact on shoe companies. As far as I know, 40% of Wenzhou's shoe companies have been hit hard. Looking forward to the first half of the second half of the year will be a good wish." Zhou Dewen said.

In fact, as early as the most serious epidemic situation in China, due to the stoppage of foreign trade enterprises and the failure to deliver orders on time, some orders have been transferred to other countries. The transfer of orders, the State Commerce Department also noticed this problem, and said this is a normal phenomenon.

In March 19th, an online news conference was held on business that the new crown pneumonia epidemic is spreading all over the world. More than 160 countries and regions have confirmed cases. Some countries have been hit by production, consumption and other fields, trade activities have been reduced, and the global economic downward pressure has increased. Problem.

In the current situation of effectively curbing the spread of the epidemic in China, export enterprises may wish to give due consideration to the domestic market. In the short term, foreign trade can also be transferred to domestic trade. While sticking to our original position, we can properly develop domestic trade customers, so as to develop and maintain two errors. This will also keep the enterprise running, and it will not be difficult to continue because of no order. It is also possible to shift the focus of foreign trade sales to areas with less severe or no epidemics, so as to open up new overseas markets.

Judging from the current market situation, the start-up rate of various factories is slowly rising, but the inventory is slow and the new ones are not smooth. Next, the capacity of the market will be in excess again, and the low price competition is imminent. Therefore, when the market is uncertain, it is advisable to choose appropriate production cuts or adjust workers' working hours to reduce expenditure.

Although the current epidemic is spreading all over the world, many export enterprises are full of hope: "as long as the epidemic is controlled, China's complete industrial chain will attract overseas orders. The current difficulties are only short-term and temporary."
