Increasing Container Pport Costs To Crack Down On Vietnamese Clothing Exporters

Earlier this month, operators raised several routes.

Orient Overseas, a shipping operator in Hongkong, will increase the cost of containers from Vietnam to the Mediterranean and to the Nordic countries by 600 US dollars.

Similarly, the German carrier Herb Roth (Hapag Lloyd) will also be shipped from the carrier.

Similarly, other airline operators, such as NYK, CMA and Maesk Line, will raise their cost by 800-1000 US dollars per container.

According to a garment exporter, even if the pport cost is borne by the importer, there will be many other costs, such as fuel surcharge and container imbalance, which is the responsibility of exporters of garments and textiles.

In addition, he said, export companies can not offset these losses by raising export prices, because it is difficult to persuade importers to raise prices.
