April 9, a number of foreign postal services revealed that a few days ago received a written notice from the General Post office of Ukraine: Ukraine has suspended the mail to Crimea and Sevastopol sent to the Ukrainian International postal Service for delivery, as to when the resumption of delivery is not determined.

This means that in the short term, businesses and individuals outside Ukraine and Ukraine will not be able to use postal channels to send goods to the Crimean region. It will also affect the order distribution in the Crimean region of cross-border electricity companies from China and beyond.

Crimean postal channel suspended

The original notification to the post was: "In view of the current situation in Ukraine, specifically Crimea Pen., it is currently difficult to deliver all types of postal items written with the mail address of Crimea and Sevastopol." Therefore, the International Postal Corporation of Ukraine requests the designated operators of the UPU Member States to suspend any mail sent to Crimea. ”

The Ukrainian international postal company also said that once the situation changed, it would immediately inform the global postal Service operators about the resumption of delivery information.

In response to this announcement of the Ukrainian post, many foreign postal administrations have already responded. April 3, Singapore Post to its agents issued a notice: "Affected by the situation in Ukraine, now suspended to the Ukrainian city of Crimea and Sevastopol mail delivery service until further notice." A few days earlier, Deutsche Post and Czech post also issued similar suspension notices.

Wei, general manager of Belgian postal China, said the Belgian postal service has also stopped receiving mail to the Crimean region. Wei predicts that the suspension of the Crimean and Sevastopol postal services will only be temporary, lasting about 1-2 months, and will not be banned forever.

Wei pointed out that, affected by the current situation in Ukraine, to the Crimea and Sevastopol, the mail is blocked, not simply the problem of delivery, but also include a number of issues such as settlement.

"The mail we sent to Crimea before was settled with the Ukrainian postal service, and then the Russian postal settlement?" But the rates for the two countries ' postal services are different. Wait until they are internally coordinated, and the postman should be restored. "Wei said.

Parcel Express Transportation Total delay

Billion power network in many ways to find out, by the current situation in Ukraine, not only the Crimean and Sevastopol postal channels blocked, but through international express, postal, bulk transport and other delivery channels in any part of Ukraine delivery will be affected.

A long-time engaged in the transport of Sino-Ukrainian logistics to the billion power network revealed that the past China's parcels into Ukraine, mainly through two routes: a first from the domestic air to Germany Hamburg and other European major air transport ports, and then from these ports to the second largest city of Ukraine Kharkov or the capital of Kiev The other one is flown from the mainland to Moscow, Russia, and then overland to Ukraine from Moscow (mainly to go "grey"). In addition, Ukraine also has a similar model that China is experimenting with in-country bonded imports.

These sources pointed out that these channels have been seriously hampered.

The source analysed that the main causes of poor transport were two-part, caused by extreme insecurity, such as war and unrest, but the more serious problem was that the Ukrainian side was extremely understaffed in customs clearance and various types of transportation due to large-scale strikes. "Kharkov is the largest city to receive foreign parcels from Ukraine, and now Kharkov also have to be independent and have a particularly big impact." In addition to government departments, many customs clearance companies do not operate. ”

The stability of the situation determines whether overseas warehouses can be landed

According to the Billion power network, for China's cross-border electric business enterprises, currently in the CIS countries, Ukraine is the second largest market after Russia. Li Zhou, founder of the Trans-boundary electricity logistics service provider, said that from easy statistics on exports, China has a large number of cross-border electric dealers to Ukraine, of which orders from the fast-selling platform are the most, followed by ebay.

According to statistics published before the UPU, in 2012 Ukraine received 20 million letters from abroad, with a parcel of 2.5 million.

Cross-border power supplier to the Quartet Senior Vice President Liu Xiangdong revealed that although the Quartet has not yet opened to Ukraine's independent line, but has been the Ukrainian market has maintained a high degree of concern. Liu Xiangdong The EU's temporary special policy support for Ukraine, duty-free for most of the products originating in Ukraine, and efforts to advance Ukraine's free trade agreement with the European Union to achieve comprehensive tariff relief. This is a very good policy for cross-border electricity dealers, the future of the electricity business can be considered in accordance with the relevant policy of Ukraine transit some products into the EU.

But at the same time, Liu Xiangdong said that the premise of the Quartet to expand the Ukrainian market is that Ukraine has a stable environment. As soon as Ukraine can provide a stable environment for China's cross-border power suppliers to enter, the EU's enabling policies can continue. So the quartet does not rule out the establishment of overseas warehouses in Ukraine, to assist the Cross-border electricity dealers will be sold to the EU products in Ukraine transshipment.

The long-term trade in China and Uzbekistan said that geographically, Ukraine is the equivalent of Europe's gateway, if the Chinese electricity dealers to trade with EU consumers, Ukraine is a good transit point. In addition, the Chinese people to take Ukrainian visas is difficult, Ukrainian people take the Chinese visa is also difficult, so personal procurement to achieve more difficult, through cross-border electric commerce is a good choice.
