중남미항로/ 韓-동안운임 9000弗 돌파 목전

With Korea-East Coast South America rates approaching $9,000, cost models built around ocean freight stop holding. For low-value, high-volume cargo and cross-border e-commerce shipments to the region, freight can outgrow a workable share of product value, which pushes some shippers to delay sailing altogether. Where the ocean-air gap narrows, Sea & Air and direct air become genuine options rather than emergency ones. Check how long your current quotes stay valid and how bunker and peak-season surcharges are worded, and book Q4 shipments earlier than usual. If you move volume on this lane, price ocean, transshipment and air on the same basis now, and set a per-SKU threshold at which you switch modes instead of deciding under pressure.
