The more expensive the ocean freight is, the greater the FOB proportion of ocean freight and the amount of specific goods is. The more expensive the goods are FOB, the smaller the ocean freight is. In 2022, when a small cabinet of trade goods is in low added value, sea freight will undoubtedly be a heavy burden, which will make the commodity liquidity worse. When the trade goods are in high added value, the proportion of ocean freight is smaller, or even negligible, with little impact.
In the structure of China's export commodities, most of them are small household goods, household appliances, electromechanical products, clothing, footwear, etc. Basically, the amount of goods is between 50000 and 100000 yuan. Therefore, it can be concluded that at least 10% of the current export trade is contributed by ocean freight. Up to now, the amount of increase in this part is huge, which has exceeded 7% tariff. And this part of the cost cannot reflect the real growth of China's real economy when calculating economic growth.
Therefore, due to the increase of ocean freight, the lower the added value of goods, the worse the trade liquidity. This makes it necessary to optimize the structure of export goods and improve the value and price of consumer goods.
