freight services or rail freight services. In other words, the sea freight
quote is a summary of the cost charged by the carrier to transport the goods
from point A to point B. The sea freight shipping cost is not fixed. Sea
freight cost refers to the remuneration paid by the shipper to the carrier in
the ocean freight shipping. Generally, it includes sea freight cost from the
port of shipment to the port of destination, as well as surcharges, loading and
unloading fees, and port charges. It is divided into sea freight forwarding and
freight on arrival. The former is delivered before the carrier accepts the
goods or issues the bill of lading; the latter is paid when the ship arrives at
the port of destination to deliver the goods.

Continued global imbalances have further pushed up prices. The problems that
have existed since the beginning of the pandemic include the imbalance of
commodity production and demand, the implementation of blockades and openings
at different times in various countries, the reduction of shipping capacity on
major routes, and the shortage of empty containers. As the recovery progresses,
there has been a strong recovery in global demand, especially in sectors most
closely related to international trade in goods. With the further opening of
the economy and the rebuilding of inventory in multiple links of the supply
chain, competition for shipping capabilities has intensified.

Why is Ocean Freight So High Right Now?
There are few alternatives to sea transportation. The lack of shipping
alternatives means that it is difficult to avoid soaring transportation costs.
For higher-value products, other modes of transportation can usually be chosen,
such as air or train transportation of electronic equipment, especially through
the "Silk Road." However, the current capacity is limited and tariffs have
risen sharply. Shipping costs for shippers of low-value products (such as
household items, toys, promotional items, or t-shirts) have increased from
about 5% of their purchase costs to more than 20%.

The difficulty of absorbing profit growth of this magnitude means that
consumers may begin to feel the impact of price increases or changes in product
supply.
