Chapter 1715 Transportation Problems
After hearing what Kyushuo said, Li Zhongxin also considered these issues.
At this time, there were not many products from Zhongxin Company entering the international market. Many times, through some channels and relationships, such as Zhongxin Company exported to Japan, and most of them were handled through some channels and relationships. Li Zhongxin did not have to worry about it. Over time, there were no problems with leaving the customs and entering the customs.
However, in the United States and France, these things are relatively difficult, not only involving entry into customs, but also tariffs and other matters.
The tariffs of developed countries such as the United States and France refer to a tax levied by the United States and France on imported and exported goods through their customs in accordance with the laws of the country.
Tariffs are generally high-quality taxes specified by the highest administrative unit in each country. For countries with developed foreign trade, tariffs are often the main income of national tax revenue and even national finance.
The government can impose tariffs on imported and exported goods, but import tariffs are the most important and are the main trade measures.
Generally speaking, the landed price based on the transaction value approved by the customs is the customs tax-paid price, and the exported goods are based on the sales of the goods and the offshore price overseas minus the export tax, and the price determined by the customs review is the tax-paid price.
Zhongxin Company wants to build a comprehensive building in the United States, and there are many types of goods. If, according to Li Zhongxin, food categories account for 30%, clothing, shoes, hats and other products must account for more than 50%, and there will be many procedures for handling relevant tariff procedures and some food inspection and quarantine.
Under normal circumstances, the shipping time from China to the United States is between 11 and 15 days, which is the time required to ship from the Shanghai Stock Exchange to Los Angeles and Long Beach in the United States. If you are to go to the basic port of the East Coast of the United States, such as New York, it will take about 22 to 25 days, and generally it will take at most about 25 days.
First, after it is produced from China, it takes a certain amount of time to ship from the manufacturer to the port to the customs. After the customs inspection and quarantine are passed, the loading will begin.
The goods will take a series of time to arrive in the United States and then to the place where the goods are transferred to the Zhongxin Company complex. In this way, it will take at least thirty days in terms of time.
And the time spent is not something that Kyuhiko can decide and control. The accidentality of transportation is too great. If there are storms at sea, bad weather at sea, etc., it will not take many days to transport it to the United States.
Li Zhongxin knew very well that there are three main methods of international cargo transportation trade, namely air freight, sea freight, and express delivery.
These three modes of transportation have their own advantages and characteristics, such as the stable and convenient and fast timeliness of air freight. It can be said that the timeliness of air freight are very stable, and many goods from later generations were air freighted.
Air freight has a high advantage, and relatively speaking, the price is relatively reasonable. Especially during the peak season, cross-border sellers can transport some hot-selling products to their destinations by air, which not only ensures the arrival of goods on time, but also ensures its safety. This is incomparable to other methods. It takes about 5 days to fly from the United States to China. If you ship by sea, it may take more than 20 days to arrive.
If you need to be faster, you can only go to international express delivery, but its cost is very high, which is very unprofitable for products with lower value.
Li Zhongxin believes that things like express transportation are not cost-effective because they are transporting huge amounts, and no international express delivery company will lower the price and reduce the costs for them.
The cost-effectiveness of sea freight is high and the range of loadable goods is wide, which is unparalleled in other ways.
If it is sea transportation, a ship can transport a lot in the past, because during sea transportation, the transportation in the near ocean is generally 5,000 tons, 8,000 tons, and 10,000 tons. When transporting from ocean to ocean transportation, there is no problem with transporting 50,000 tons at one time.
Zhongxin Company wants to build a commercial complex in the United States, and it is obviously very unrealistic to freight goods by air. If Zhongxin Company has its own special air freight company at this time, you might as well consider this. Therefore, it is impossible to transport goods to the United States.
The question raised by Kyuki Kazuko is very sharp. Generally, goods have a long shelf life, but food types are different.
According to such an algorithm, even if there is no problem from China to the United States, a batch of goods will take nearly a month to arrive in the United States.
By the same token, it takes a long time for things to go to France, and the requirements for food categories are much higher.
Food transportation in the United States and France is a big problem. This issue involves many things and departments. Just understanding these things will take a long process.
The goods exported to Japan! The problems faced are also very big. Although Japan and China are neighboring countries, Japan has very high requirements for food, which is also a disadvantage.
Li Zhongxin has lived in Japan, and he will find that many Japanese people have this habit.
When Japanese go out to order food, even if they have to host important customers, they will not order too many dishes.
When Japanese people eat, they are proud to eat until the bowl is clean. If there is a leftover, they will still feel that today's meals are not in line with the guests' appetite.
If the Japanese went out to eat by themselves and ordered a set meal and couldn't finish it, they would take the initiative to ask the waiter for a packed lunch box and pack the remaining food away.
Therefore, the Japanese impressed people from other countries that they lived a frugal life and were unwilling to waste food.
However, the real situation is not the case. The problem of food waste in Japan has shocked the whole world.
According to some official statistics from Japan, there are millions of tons of edible food discarded every year in Japan.
Some food recycling factories in their country have been constantly driving in from the morning with large trucks pulling food, filled with unmoved bread, cakes, and fresh eggs and ham.
The amount of edible food wastes and discards in Japan every year is as high as one million tons, and it maintains a steady upward trend every year, resulting in a large amount of waste of capital costs.
