A client ships essential but low cost products from the Far East. Looking through their details COGS I noticed a significant increase to inward shipping costs.
On asking (and these are approximate figures) a container used to cost £1,200 to ship to the UK. Now it's nearer £15,000.
Considering they can fill a container for £20,000 it's going to put a great deal of inflation in to the product's pricing.
