Banning Chinese cargo ships from docking? Just now, the United States officially verified...

As of 24:00 on February 3, a total of 20,438 people have been confirmed to have contracted COVID-19, 23,214 are suspected cases, and 425 have died nationwide. The data shows that the trend has not been contained!

Affected by the new coronavirus pneumonia, the international logistics industry has also encountered a cold winter. In connection with this, many cross-border sellers are already suffering losses due to out-of-stock conditions!

Regarding the impact of the virus on the international logistics industry, rumors are also spreading! Some rumors say that the United States prohibits Chinese ships from docking, and some rumors say that the United States suspends all flights between China and the United States, which makes people across the border panic! So, what is the truth?

During the epidemic, container shipping is a point of great concern to everyone! Earlier, there was news that all ships that have stopped in China within 15 days will be denied access to US ports! Once this news came out, it means that the container shipping business between China and the United States has completely stopped!

However, this is not the case! According to the official channel of the US Coast Guard:

Therefore, cross-border sellers can still send and receive goods normally! However, during the epidemic, the epidemic prevention work of ports in various countries has been strengthened, and the logistics delays caused by this may still require the understanding of sellers!

On February 2, a cross-border seller broke the news that international air cargo flights between China and the United States were grounded! They received a notice from the US freight forwarder that sellers need to submit special documents for goods arriving at the Chicago Customs in the United States, otherwise they will face destruction. Although this incident is an isolated case, it is likely to spread and be enforced!

This news was undoubtedly a big bomb thrown to the cross-border circle. Many sellers' years of hard work may come to an end! However, many logistics companies came out to refute the rumor soon after. One well-known logistics company said:

Although the rumor has been debunked, many sellers are still worried about whether the logistics timeliness will be affected during the extraordinary period! I think there will be logistics delays!

When the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the epidemic in China was classified as PHEIC, or "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" level.

Although the WHO committee did not recommend that countries impose any travel or trade restrictions, in fact other countries have taken measures one after another.

Currently, many airlines have suspended flights to China or reduced flights

During this special period, sellers can follow the principle of small batches, multiple batches, and multiple channels to reduce channel risks! During the epidemic, close cooperation among multiple parties is needed. Manufacturers, sellers, and logistics companies need to have stronger coordination and tolerance! After the disaster, everything will be bright!
