Dateline August 5, 2010: Freight Costs Rise
Simple fact…importing and exporting freight costs are rising. Recent ocean freight rates have increased over
20% in the past 90 days. This is not a music industry issue. These recent rate changes will have an effect on any
goods we export OR import. For multiple reasons, the steamship carriers have implemented new base prices as
well as the seasonal “peak season” charges that hit this time of year. Our goal is to continue to consolidate our
containers with the balance of goods to help contain these increases. For further information how MDRG and
Mingde Musik LTD can help you navigate these challenging times, please contact us by using the “information
form” found on this site.
