North American Importers were greeted with a Happy New Year “gift” from the ocean carriers operating in the Asia to North America Trade Lanes, another General Rate Increase! Not surprising, as this is becoming a monthly habit with ocean rates increasing, this time they will increase again on February 1, 2020.
The February 1, 2020 General Rate Increase (GRI) has been filed for all cargo imported from Asia ports of loading, to U.S.A., Canada, and Mexico ports/ramps of discharge.
The proposed increases are as follows:
