Intellectual property protection at China’s customs is a part that you shouldn’t neglect



If the products that you import from China belong to a brand, you should be careful and check before shipment whether the brand is on file at China’s customs to avoid losses caused by any possible infringement. If your brand is not on file at China’s customs, you should hurry to make it on file in order to prevent others from registering it. If your brand is on file at China’s customs, you should check and verify it carefully because of possible loopholes that may be taken advantage of by others. For detailed information, please check specific cases in “Intellectual Property Rights” on our website.

PS: Now these services are available and free.

How to choose a freight forwarder when you trade with China

Image
When our international buyers purchase products from around the world, they have to choose a freight forwarder when it comes to transportation. Although it does not seem very important, if handled properly, it will cause some problems, so we have to be very careful. When we choose FOB, the transportation will be arranged by us and the cargo rights are in our hands. In case of CIF, the transportation is arranged by the factory, and the cargo rights are also in their hands. When there is a dispute or some unexpected situation, the selection of freight forwarders will be decisive. Then how do we choose a freight forwarder? 1)If your supplier is relatively large in China, and you have worked with it for a long time, you trust it for good cooperation, and your shipment is of a large volume (100 HQ per month or more), then I suggest that you choose a large-scale world-class freight forwarder, such as Panalpina they have their advantages: Those company have very mature operation, a ...

INSIGHTS ON AIR FREIGHT AND COST CALCULATIONS IN 2019

Image
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT AIR SHIPMENTS ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN SHIPPING VIA SEA OR TRUCK, BUT SOMETIMES, URGENT CARGO REQUIRES A SHORTER TRANSIT TIME, LEAVING NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAN SHIPPING BY AIR. In those cases, it is useful to know how airlines build their transportation costs, to make an appropriate decision on what service to prefer and how costs are built up. Some of the most important cargo airlines in the world are: Cathay Pacific Cargo Korean Air Cargo Emirates SkyCargo Lufthansa Cargo Singapore Airlines Cargo China Airlines Cargo EVA Air Cargo Air France Cargo For air shipments, the cost is calculated by multiplying the rate (provided per kg/lbs) for the “chargeable weight”, which is calculated based on the weight or volume of goods. The volume/weight ratio is very simple to calculate: 167 kg is estimated for each cubic meter of space (formula: 1 CBM = 167 kg), but if the weight exceeds the chargeable weight, the actual weight will be applied for cost calculation....

DIGITIZATION WILL HELP IMPROVE PORT PRODUCTIVITY AND PROFITABILITY

Image
PORT PRODUCTIVITY IS GENERALLY EVALUATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CONTAINER MOVES PER HOUR. When comparing the first half of this year’s performance to 2017’s, there has been a 4% decrease in port productivity, which means vessels spent 70,000 extra hours in ports earlier this year. Each additional hour a vessel spends in a port could cost approximately $2,500. With 70,000 extra hours during the first-half of 2018, the growing size of vessels calling ports, the number of containers being exchanged with each port call, and the idle vessel fleet being at a low-point for 2018, the additional costs for the logistics industry could total more than $175 million. Terminals are limited in their capacity to handle larger vessels. Physically adding more cranes may not be possible, or may be highly-challenging, for some terminals. To increase productivity, terminals must focus on and consider alternative solutions. DIGITIZATION IS ONE KEY SOLUTION THAT COULD HELP IMPROVE COLLABORATION AN...
