In recent years, with the continuous emerging and development of cross-border e-commerce, the shipping business is getting more and more developed. The transnational shipping is inevitably encountered in the customs spot check. Recently, a sea container from the Chinese small business owner from this Todab is unfortunately checked. Unfortunately, because of the lack of the sea-related department system, she will face a huge amount of money paying at least $ 30,000, and the business that is hard to do, and therefore, I have not started to be cruel.

The main name of this company called He Xiaomi (Transliteration Xiao Jing He), she has been the wish to open a building management company in the lowland plain. The diligence work has taken enough savings for several years, and spent six months to make the company's preparation, and finally only the last step can achieve her dreams.

She booked a container from China to transport all the materials needed by the company, as long as they received the goods, they can do it. Who can come up, when her container arrives at the DeltaPort terminal of the BC provincial Delta on October 23, it is taken to check in the Canadian Border Services Agency, so her box must be transferred. Check the warehouse to a special sea container.




Ms. HE also didn't think much, and the random check is not a big thing, and there is no contraband in the items that you transport. But when she reserved the box to the professional checkbox, she was silly, and there was no space in any of the lowland plains, and her box was to be ranked at least December 6.

In this way, her box must stop in the terminal for nearly two months, and she must pay the additional cost due to the storage box. To know that the container is checked in the customs, it is not high. After normal arrival, wait for about a week, you can go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, except for shipping costs, there is no additional cost.

The costs caused by Ms. HE faced will be charged by DeltaPort and Mediterranean Shipping Service (MSC). Storage boxes will have some free days, but the number of days will be charged for additional costs. The basic costs of the two companies are $ 149.2 yuan and $ 115 per day, the longer the storage time, the price will increase.




If you take advantage of the time of the box, the MSC will charge a retention fee of $ 5000. At the same time, the shipping cost of transferring the box from the port to a professional check warehouse also requires HE to pay, this big size fee adds up, it has been up to 30,000 knives, if the box cannot be transferred on time, this fee will increase.

Ms. HE, "Six-month hard work, many years of savings, dreams of life, all because of this random check, after everything, we finally got it, it is one I need a bill for a few years to pay, I don't know what to do. I don't know who I can ask for help ... I think I am punished because of the bad luck. "




Not only the cost of the container random spot check is high, but since January 2021, the transportation cost of containers has also risen more than 400%. The HE lady's light transport container spent $ 20,000 knives. This plus additional 30,000 knives, a total of a container costs actually reached a $ 50,000 knife. In this regard, this Take the Trade Commission issued an alert and asked the federal government to solve the problem of soaring container transportation.

CORY Redekop, head of the association, said, "We have heard that a construction company here is $ 4,000 in January, but it has increased from $ 12,000 in August, which is the first time in such a short time. Seeing such a big increase, we are worried that companies will not be able to digest the cost of expansion longer. "




For such high transportation expenses, the big business owners may also bear, but for the little business owners like HE, it is really a general existence. The cost of container transportation delays caused by the supply chain congestion should not let HE have to pay such a population.

In the face of Ms. HE, CBSA means that it is not helpful, "" Our system is really too bad, it can't handle the surge in packing, and commit to work with industry associations and committees to improve the efficiency of the review process."If you have to resolve the crisis, there will be more innocent small business owners like HE, and the government is not enough, the government does not have a huge impact.
