shipping costs from china to us nearing $10,000 per container

7/9/2021

 
Picture
Shipping rates from China to the U.S. neared all-time highs this week – the shipping cost for a 40-foot container from Shanghai to LA is close to $10,000—representing a 229% increase from one year ago. Globally, a composite index of 8 major trade routes saw a 333% increase from one year ago. Rates are expected to increase.

These higher rates, while beneficial for container shipping lines, are putting pressure on importers in terms of higher costs. Higher costs uneasily absorbed by importers will likely be reflected in higher retail prices, which could result in inflation. Additionally, supply chain constraints due to COVID still hinder economic growth.
