You should know that there are a huge trade deal and connection with China in the world. This is one of the major reasons why China is well-known for the tag of World's Market. In the same league, the USA is one of the leading countries in the trading sector.

You should know that many deals have been made between China and the US for the trade of many goods. China is one of the biggest world's market, is in touch with many major countries. Also, the USA is the new world's trader which makes it compulsory for both the countries to come in touch.

Private sector companies like Amazon etc. provide their products to both China and the USA. In this case, there is a need for a Middle man or a third party agent for the shipment of these goods. Right now, there are many companies which are functioning as a third party agent for the shipment of goods and services in these two countries.

But, many problems have been faced by the third party agencies in the shipment of products. You should know about some common issues faced by shipping companies between China and the USA. Therefore, in this article, we will take a look at some major issues faced by third party agencies.

3 Major issues faced are as follows:

The high cost of transportation

• If you are not aware of the current rates of transportation of goods between China and the USA, then you should know about it. The charge of shipments between these two countries was quite high because of the political differences. The relation between these two countries was not at all on a decent pitch for years. In recent years, the trade has started all over, and the third party agencies are on a good side for it.
• The cost of transport was just set the key down when Covid-19 Pandemic hit the world. China being the epicentre of Coronavirus, faced backlash, and the companies tried to untie their knots from trade in China. As soon as the lockdown was cooled down, many private companies started their trade between China and the USA. Due to this reason, the cost of shipments is quite high between these two countries.

The shutdown of Air Transport

• We all know that the current global pandemic has left deep scars on the trade methods of every country to avoid the spread of Coronavirus; the trade relations were called off for some months. This was because the trade was not at all possible during the spread of the virus, which is highly contagious. China, as the biggest Coronavirus Hub, was blamed and trades were not on a good note. You should know that right now. The trade is on a halt to that extent. The limit has been imposed, and air freight charges are high. In this case, private companies are not willing to hire third-party shipping agencies to provide their goods.
• Due to this reason, the number of aircraft used for trade is much lower than the usual count. Still, water transport is quite helpful for the third party agencies for the shipment process. Right now, Companies like Amazon are being protected by third-party agencies which are used for shipment of products. To be more precise, almost 86% of the air capacity is lowered down in the USA. This problem is still on a roll which is due to the ongoing pandemic. You can expect the air shipment to resume after the global pandemic lays down to the ground, and everything becomes normal again.

Tons of Paper World

• Well, we all know that shipment is not an easy job where two parties or countries are involved. All the counties have their defence and privacy terms which should not be overruled by any agency. In this case, the third party has to function considering the guidelines which are showcased by countries. In this case, there is a need for these transportation agencies to function according to total legality.
• In this case, the paperwork increases, which should not be skipped. This paperwork has to be done by shipment agencies to transport goods between China and the USA. Talking about these two countries, the paperwork increases due to their political conflicts. Therefore, this paperwork is also a major issue between shipments from China to the USA and vice versa.
