The cost comparison between third country re-export and direct flight mode is as follows, and listen to Xiaobian one by one.
Direct mode: Cost = direct sea freight + normal duty + anti-dumping duty
Mode of transit: Cost = first freight + medium conversion cabinet supporting document fee + second freight + normal tariff
The above can help us understand how to arrange the logistics direction in the case of transshipment freight and what changes will occur in the import logistics and customs clearance costs of foreign importers compared with direct flights.
First of all, in the case of our direct flight from China to the destination port of the importing country, the sea freight before customs clearance by the importer is very simple, which is a direct sea freight. However, at the time of customs clearance, to be imposed double tariffs, one is normal tariffs, the second is anti-dumping duties, such as the EU's normal tariff on imported energy-saving lamps is 8%, the additional anti-dumping duty on Chinese energy-saving lamps is 66%. Then let's look at the situation of transshipment through a third country in the figure below, and the whole sea shipment consists of the first and second transhipment. In the middle, there is a container change operation at the transit port. Because the certificate of origin of a third country and a full set of related export documents are accompanied by the container change at the transit port, the Shipper of the second bill of lading is changed to the applicant of CO in a third country. The port of departure of the second bill of lading is the port of the transit country, in order to avoid anti-dumping duties on Chinese products.
Although the transit method is used to increase the transit link in the freight process, the entire logistics voyage has been lengthened, the shipping cost, the transit cost, and the cost of supporting documents will be much higher than the direct shipping method, but the high anti-dumping duties thus avoided are more considerable. Take the specific data of the above energy-saving lamp re-export case for a brief comparison: a 20 'cabinet of energy-saving lamps, the value of $40,000, in addition to the normal tariff additional anti-dumping duties of $26,400. By means of transshipment, the cost of all transhipment minus the direct sea freight, the increased cost is less than 4000 US dollars, that is, the additional cost can be controlled to less than 10% of the value of the goods; If shipment is made in 40 'container, the additional transshipment charge can be reduced to less than 5% of the value of the shipment.
