2016 was a very unsettled year for the world timber market. The first restrictions on Myanmar caused the global mahogany resources to be tense, and then the Canadian and Russian forest fires further aggravated the timber resources. At the same time, the turmoil in the international economy and society, the event of Brexit led to the continued strengthening of the US dollar, the rising cost of various types of materials, and the source + transportation, which directly caused international timber prices to soar.
According to the merchants, since July 1st, the global container transportation costs have increased, including the European and North American countries and other six continents, the container transportation costs have risen sharply, mainly due to the increase in pounding costs. Before July 1st, the overweight of the container is mainly the responsibility of the buyer. It can allow a little overweight, but after July 1st, all the containers are overweight and the dock is responsible for it. No overweight is allowed. This means that the timber carrying capacity of a container is a few cubic meters less than in the past, so that the cost per container is about 125 euros (about 925.9 yuan), and the average wood per cubic meter is increased by 30. The cost of the renminbi.
Some insiders said that the depreciation of the renminbi and the increase in transportation costs have increased the import cost of timber by a total of 5-8%.
Sponge prices are up! ! !
As we all know, the cost of sponges accounts for nearly 30% of the cost of software sofas. Due to the state's heavy chemical rectification of chemical pollution enterprises, a large number of non-standard coconut palm, sponge, wire drawing, printing and dyeing upstream enterprises have been rectified and even closed, and foreign demand has soared. After September 1, the upstream enterprises' raw materials prices have risen three times in succession. And the magnitude is not low. It is reported that in terms of resource cost, the sponge raw material polyether polyol increased by nearly 4,000 yuan per ton, TDI rose by 6,500 yuan, and the price of coconut palm rose to 20% to 30%. The industry expects raw materials. There is still room for further upside.
It is reported that the Zhengzhou sponge industry has recently increased prices by 18% and 12% in two consecutive months. The prices of Guangdong, Chengdu and Xianghe sponges have generally increased by 30 points. Xu Wealth, president of the Suzhou Sponge Industry Association, said that the price hike has come to the forefront and there is no warning. Because the sponge industry is generally zero in stock, the members of the association have all suffered serious losses this time. The pressure is very high. At the time of the price increase, the Suzhou sponge industry was the latest price increase.
The price hike of sponges has been on the rise, resulting in a general increase in furniture prices across the country from October 1.
Transportation costs are rising! ! !
National road administration, the traffic police from September 21 on the overload of freight vehicles, overweight, ultra-wide development for a year of serious rectification, but also led to increased freight logistics costs.
In accordance with the new standards implemented on September 21:
The total weight of 2-axis trucks shall not exceed 18 tons;
3-axis trucks must not exceed 25 tons.
3-axis car trains must not exceed 27 tons;
4-axle trucks must not exceed 31 tons.
4-axis car trains must not exceed 36 tons;
5-axis car trains must not exceed 43 tons;
The 6-axis and 6-axis and above car trains shall not exceed 49 tons, of which the tractor drive shaft is single-axis, and the total mass of the goods shall not exceed 46 tons.
At the same time, the length and width of the cargo are clearly defined: the total height should not exceed 4 meters from the ground, the total width of the cargo should not exceed 2.55 meters, and the total length of the cargo should not exceed 18.1 meters.
According to the calculation of professionals, the main impact of the new transportation policy is that the 6.8-meter car will be equipped with a maximum of 10 tons and a 9.6-meter car (14 tons in the first four, four in the first four, 18 tons in the first four), and the most Load 32.5 tons! (The kind of 40 tons, 4.5 meters high vehicle will never return). Important notice Starting from September 21, the 13-meter semi-trailer will be reduced by ton, the total weight should not exceed 49 tons, and the total height must not exceed 4 meters!
The freight rate must be increased significantly. The original total weight (55T) - wagon (16.5T) = actual load (38.5T), for example, 100 yuan / ton, the freight is 3850 yuan / car
Now the total amount of freight is unchanged, the actual load is: [total weight (49T) - wagon (16.5)] * 4 / 4.5 = actual load (28.8T), freight unit price is 3850 yuan ÷ 28.8T = 133.6 yuan. The freight unit price is raised by about 33.6%. Plus the corresponding increase in taxes, the freight rate rose at least 35%.
The increase in freight logistics costs will also increase product prices. It is reported that the furniture industry in Shandong has recently increased prices by 18% and 12% in two consecutive months. The prices of raw materials in Guangdong, Chengdu and Xianghe also generally rose by 30 points.
Credit card processing fee is up! ! !
The new POS machine card processing fee collection standard was also officially implemented on September 6. The New Deal will greatly reduce the burden on merchants, especially in the entertainment and department store industries, which can reduce the card processing fee by 20% to 40%. However, with the cancellation of the credit card capping policy, many merchants involved in large-scale consumption scenarios have chosen to pass 0.6% of the handling fee to consumers. In the past, buyers who bought tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of goods in timber merchants only had to pay a handling fee of 50 yuan. However, after the implementation of the New Deal, the cost of handling fees will rise by a dozen or even dozens of times.
