We know that air freight is relatively fast. If you catch up with the shopping season, air freight is still a better choice. However, the price of air freight is indeed much more expensive than sea freight. The general freight price is higher than that of Good Luck. Out about double. Therefore, everyone must make their own choice based on timeliness and price.
What are the advantages of sea freight over air freight?
It can be said that sea freight from Yiwu to the United States is relatively cost-effective, but compared with air freight, the speed is still relatively slow and generally ordinary. Cargo ships will take longer, but the price of sea freight is about 30% of that of air freight. Therefore, if merchants choose sea freight regardless of time, the price advantage is quite obvious.
For air freight from Yiwu to the United States, the starting volume of general goods is 21 kilograms, while the volume of goods shipped by sea is 100 kilograms of products. If your goods are less than 100 kilograms, if you still want to choose sea shipping , then it will be calculated as 100 kilograms. The starting volume of slow ship products shipped by sea is also based on one cubic meter. International freight companies from Yiwu to the United States also promise to do their best to reduce logistics costs for customers and save more money for merchants.
Commodity sales are also divided into low and peak seasons, especially in the second half of each year. This is the peak season for sales. If air transport and express delivery cannot keep up with market demand during the peak season, sea transport will be highlighted at this time. Its advantage is that on the one hand, it can transport a large amount of goods, and on the other hand, it can also solve the inventory of merchants to meet the sales orders in the peak season.
Ocean freight: Ocean freight is generally calculated based on the cubic volume of the goods, while general special-line express ships are generally charged based on weight.
Customs declaration fee: This is charged according to the specific situation, usually 350 yuan per ticket. Actual reimbursement will also be made based on the customs conditions in Yiwu and the United States.
It should be reminded that in sea transportation, the inspection rate is still relatively high, and the delivery time is also indirectly affected. Therefore, many cross-border e-commerce companies feel that sea transportation is not stable enough, and everyone has concerns. Therefore, it is recommended that merchants must calculate the timeliness of the goods when replenishing goods, and maximize enough time for the goods to flow out, so as to avoid delaying the store’s sales due to time issues.
