Rumors debunked! Sellers can still ship as normal, air and sea freight will not be affected


Affected by the epidemic, Amazon sellers were most worried about out-of-stock and delivery issues throughout the Spring Festival. As the incident continued to ferment, the international logistics industry was also in a cold winter, and finding a freight forwarder who could ship as quickly as possible became a top priority for many sellers .

According to reliable information from logistics companies, most logistics companies are operating normally on February 10th, and air delivery can be shipped normally after February 10th, and the more expensive Hong Kong UPS can also ship normally! Therefore, sellers don’t have to worry about shipping issues after resuming work!


Previously, there were constant rumors about international logistics in the cross-border circle, which caused sellers to panic. Today, Maizi will dispel the rumors for everyone.


1. Are all flights from the United States to China stopped?

A well-known logistics company refuted the rumor, saying that all cargoes arriving at US ports as of February 2 were operating normally, and no batches needed to provide special documents due to the epidemic in China. The so-called flight cancellations were only temporary measures during special periods, and the proportion of canceled flights was mainly passenger planes. It is even more absurd to suspend all flights.



2. The United States prohibits ships stopping in China from docking?


According to the official channels of the United States Coast Guard:

The United States has recently strengthened its epidemic prevention measures. Before a ship docks at a U.S. port, the shipping company must report the physical condition of the crew in the past 15 days to the local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, if the physical condition of the crew on board is normal, then the ship can dock at the U.S. port normally!


However, crew members are not allowed to go ashore, and sea containers are unloaded and cleared normally. There are no hard and fast regulations on stopovers in China or the 15-day mandatory quarantine period. All major shipping companies have also returned to work on February 10th in accordance with the national regulations.


3. The port is closed and outbound cargo is blocked?


Earlier, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, announced at a press conference that the operations of the four ports of Luohu, Lok Ma Chau, Huanggang and Hong Kong-Macao Ferry Terminal would be suspended from 00:00 on March 4, leaving only three checkpoints connecting to the mainland: Hong Kong International Airport, Shenzhen Bay and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge!


Subsequently, Carrie Lam emphasized that a series of measures to control port control areas are all based on passenger services and do not affect freight , so logistics can be shipped at the Shenzhen Bay Port.


Although the above rumors have been debunked, the COVID-19 has definitely had a great impact on the international logistics industry. The logistics situation is not stable after the resumption of work on February 10. Maizi recommends that you replenish stocks in small batches and multiple batches to spread the risk and avoid losses.


Cruise Lines International Association's strictest ban


As the new coronavirus epidemic has entered an outbreak period, a number of passengers traveling on cruise ships have been diagnosed with new coronavirus pneumonia recently.


Although cruise companies actively cooperate with epidemic prevention and control and take various measures against the epidemic, including rejecting Chinese passengers and crew members, prohibiting passengers with fever from boarding, and submitting health declarations, confirmed cases of the new coronavirus continue to be found on cruise ships. In order to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic on cruise ships, the International Cruise Association has issued the strictest ban.


On February 3, the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) issued a statement suspending crew travel from mainland China and prohibiting any individual who has departed from or passed through mainland China in the past 14 days from boarding the ship, including passengers and crew members.


 

This means that the Chinese cruise market may face the coldest winter in history.


Maizi believes that the epidemic will be brought under control as soon as possible, and all walks of life will gradually return to normal. He also hopes that every cross-border person can work together to face difficulties together! As spring comes, cross-border exports will be more prosperous!
