The rise of China-backed e-commerce retailers Temu and Shein have had an impact on airfreight volumes during the holiday season. It is estimated that each platform is shipping more than one million U.S. packages per day. That increase in volume is impacting the already limited export space out of China and driving up prices, our CEO Sunandan Ray told The Wall Street Journal. “Everyone who is importing by air is paying a higher price now because of the loss of capacity. To a certain extent it might be getting passed on to consumers, or it might be squeezing the margins of sellers.” Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/48rg5Fw #ecommerce #globalshipping #freightforwarding #aircargo #importexport

American companies that manufacture overseas are increasingly getting around import duties by embracing a controversial trade "loophole" that's been key to the rise of overseas e-commerce upstarts like Shein and Temu. In order to use the loophole, known as de minimis, companies ship orders out of warehouses located just across the border in Mexico and Canada or ship items via air freight directly from manufacturers in China, allowing them to dodge tariffs as high as 25% on some items. That's fueled a boom in warehouse openings just over the U.S. border in Canada and Mexico, as well as a cottage industry of startups aiming to make it easier for sellers to take advantage. As a result, the number of such imports has skyrocketed, and the U.S. is currently processing 4 million de minimis shipments per day, up from 2.8 million per day at the same time last year.

Direct fulfillment from China doesn't help optimize the e-commerce business model. It changes the game. Last week, our CEO Izzy Rosenzweig was featured in The Information story about how US companies are leveraging direct shipping and Section 321. There is a perception that only Chinese brands can benefit from using de minimis, which is incorrect. De minimis massively helps American brands be profitable. The U.S. is currently processing 4 million de minimis shipments per day, up from 2.8 million per day at the same time last year. Putting the U.S. on track to import about 1.5 billion de minimis shipments this year, triple the number from 2019. Now about 30% of de minimis shipments this year account for SHEIN and Temu packages, but more and more packages from American brands are processed through de minimis. We are helping many US brands in adopting the same shipping model as SHEIN and Temu. By leveraging Portless direct shipping, your customers receive a 100% local US experience, with deliveries averaging just 5.2 days to the US. With de minimis, we are helping brands increase their gross margins by up to 40% as costs are reduced across warehousing, pick & pack, and container shipping. There are no US drayage fees or import taxes with Section 321. Interested in learning more?

Interesting to see that #AirFreight rates from Hong Kong and Shanghai now surpass 2022 levels, while #SeaFreight rates have dropped by 35% since December 2022. Ecommerce takes 40-50% of freight volume on major routes, driven by strong Western demand for fast fashion and goods from Chinese platforms like Temu and Shein. Chinese ecommerce shipments totaled $155 billion in the first half of 2023. The reality is that the demand for affordable products is increasing, as people's budgets have become leaner.

Great piece from The Wall Street Journal using Xeneta data and insight from Chief Airfreight Officer Niall van de Wouw to address how e-commerce shipments out of Asia are reshaping the air cargo market. The huge volumes being shipped by online retailers Temu and Shein out of China and Hong Kong has seen air freight rates soar and businesses facing the prospect of fierce competition to secure space for their cargo during the peak season later this year. van de Wouw told the WSJ: "If you as a shipper have not arranged or dealt with your freight forwarder on how to navigate that time, I think you might be in for quite a ride. "The e-commerce boom out of China has transformed the airfreight market in an incredibly short period of time.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eFn-g_5F #aircargo #freightforwarder #china #ecommerce

🚨 Major Shift in eCommerce is Coming 🚨 The Biden administration just made a bold move that could change the eCommerce game in a BIG way 👇🏼 They are proposing to close the de minimis loophole—a game-changer for Chinese brands like Shein and Temu, who have used this to flood the U.S. market with ultra-cheap goods. Quick de minimis Breakdown: This loophole allows shipments under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free with little customs oversight. Chinese companies have been using this to avoid tariffs and safety checks by sending small shipments directly to U.S. consumers. What does this mean for you? 👇🏼 ⚖️ Level Playing Field: No more tariff avoidance—Chinese brands will now face the same 25% tariffs and strict safety inspections that U.S. sellers do. ⛈️ Shein & Temu Face Challenges: These companies thrived under the de minimis rule, but they'll now have to rethink their strategies. Don’t count them out just yet, though. 🛡️ Safer Products: We’ve all seen sketchy products online (face mask snorkels, anyone?). This new rule will require compliance certificates for all imported products, making them meet U.S. safety standards, regardless of value. This could be a huge win for U.S. brands and consumers! 💥 While it’s not official yet, the proposal has bipartisan support and could reshape the eCommerce world as we know it. What do you think? Is this a win for U.S. sellers? #EcommerceUpdate #DeMinimisLoophole #USBusiness #TradeReform #Shein #Temu #USBrands #eCommerceTrends

US-based online sellers are copying Shein/Temu's playbook to avoid import duties. Goods arrive in the US, get trucked to Mexico, and then immediately get shipped back to the US duty-free. Companies are importing goods to Mexico or through the port of Los Angeles and then to Mexico. They then ship to consumers in the US from the warehouses in Mexico. Since they were never imported in bulk to the US and each shipment is under the $800 de minimis value, there are no duties to be paid. Those de minimis shipments will hit 1.5 billion this year.
