In this episode, Renaud and Adrian give a bonus update on the Covid situation across China as localized Omicron outbreaks lead to restrictions and difficulty moving in and out of affected areas.
Why is this important information for importers?
Some major manufacturing hubs are affected, including Shenzhen, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Suzhou. This could mean that your supply chain is affected as workers are quarantined. Alternatively, it may affect your ability to keep control over or in contact with your supply chain and visits such as factory audits and product inspections may need to be cancelled.
Restrictions are affecting logistics, too, as shipping to and from China is currently subjected to fairly strict quarantine procedures.
We also explain some of the ways that we've used at Sofeast to keep providing remote services such as inspections at times when access to manufacturers is not possible...these could be helpful for you if your supplier is in an affected area.
