VARIABLES
FUEL PRICES | Fuel prices are experiencing a decline based on COVID-19 and reduced consumption globally. Once travel begins to increase, prices are anticipated to increase back to pre-COVID-19 prices.
ALTERNATE PORTS OF ENTRY | Utilization of alternative ports for casegoods entering the U.S. can reduce costs significantly. Lead time for transit from Asia increases approximately 2 weeks to travel through Panama Canal. CO2 emissions and fuel consumption are reduced as well as the risk of damage.
WAREHOUSE RATES | Warehouse rates will remain stable, but could see up to a 20% decrease in some markets due to COVID-19 business disruption.
RECORD DECREASE IN INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING | Asia-Pacific containers are holding steady during COVID-19 as shipping companies reduce capacity. International air-freight costs are at an all-time high as airlines decrease capacity.
