Current situation in Suzhou: impact on the operations of DACHSER

A COVID-19 outbreak has occurred in Suzhou, China. According to an emergency notice from the Suzhou authorities, several new cases were reported locally.

As the situation is not improving in Suzhou, the local government is launching the second round of tests in the city. Meanwhile, more and more entrances of highways connecting Suzhou to and from other cities and provinces have been closed or restricted. Therefore, delays in cargo pick-ups and deliveries are expected even though the ports are operating.

The DACHSER branch in Suzhou keeps open and the employees continue to provide customers with effective supply chain management.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.

Brexit: Important information for ASL customers

We face the possible event that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union by the end of October 2019. This will affect shipments from and to the UK and delays are to be expected. Reasons are amongst others that a higher percentage of shipments has to be processed by customs authorities and that European shippers might switch to Air Freight to avoid border controls. We expect delays particularly for shipments that do not move into the UK directly or out of the UK directly but via continental Europe. For example if Sea Freight shipments are unloaded in Rotterdam and then forwarded to the UK via truck and ferry: 

  • Fiscal representation in continental Europe will no longer be possible for goods to the UK. Instead, a transit procedure must be opened.
  • The expected problems in Calais/Dover will cause delays in the delivery of goods to the UK.
  • Incoterms for subsequent deliveries from the EU to the UK may also have to be converted if necessary, as costs for customs clearance have to be included.

Therefore we strongly suggest to ship directly to the UK whenever possible, at least for some time following the Brexit until things clear up.

In addition to that, you can also find our “Brexit checklist” here.
