The tremendous changes in the international logistics market will naturally be transmitted to international trade, changing the habits of buyers and trade practices. According to reports, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon and other large retailers and suppliers generally expect delays for several weeks due to global shipping backlogs, so they have placed holiday orders in advance.
Urgent need to re-examine international logistics
Nowadays, it is increasingly felt that international trade is a complex “system engineering”, which is no longer a simple profit-buying-sell price difference, but involves information flow, capital flow, logistics and many other factors. Unfortunately, many foreign trade companies have gradually relaxed their logistics operations and management while focusing on business development and financial planning. Twenty or thirty years ago, many larger foreign trade companies did not have a storage and transportation department. As the situation changed, most of the storage and transportation departments were abolished. The functions that have been retained in time are also shrinking, occupying an embarrassing position. There are multiple factors in this. For example, most exports are designated by foreign buyers as freight forwarders, and Chinese suppliers have less say; freight and interests are directly related, and administrative functions are inconvenient to intervene.
