What reason do you think of every time you hear about logistics delays? In fact, there are several situations in the logistics industry from Guangzhou to Thailand that can cause logistics delays. Next, I will introduce to you:

The first scenario is: shipping containers that cannot be returned on time before the deadline;

For all containers, they are usually loaded at the supplier's site and then returned to the container yard at the port. Every time you book a cabin on board, the shipping company issues a 'deadline' for the container to be returned at the port. Due to various reasons, the container cannot be returned on time, resulting in the loss of the scheduled vessel.

In the case of shipment, the goods are delivered to the warehouse of the group company, where they merge several batches of goods into one container and then deliver it to the port.

This may be the most common reason for delays in Thai shipping.

The following are some reasons why the deadline was not met, but this could also be due to many other reasons, such as issues with domestic truck transportation, problems found during "loading inspection" that require negotiation with suppliers or rework.

The second scenario is: the required documents are incorrect and delayed at customs;

This is the second most common shipping delay problem in China. Customs documents are usually straightforward, but delays may occur at both the port of shipment and destination due to incorrect or problematic documents.

Other issues related to paperwork may cause delays in customs clearance for goods shipped in China, such as the lack of correct documentation for battery products.

Ensure that you are working with the factory used in the 'export' process. If you work in a factory without international trade experience, please find a reliable freight forwarder who is very familiar with your processes and has extensive experience with your products.
