Why Are Ceramic Tile Export Shipping Costs More Expensive Than The Tiles Themselves?
根据海关总署最新数据显示，2021年上半年中国陶瓷砖出口呈现显著增长：出口量达2.95亿平方米，同比增长19.26%；出口额19.48亿美元，同步增长19.26%。然而，下半年出口形势却因多重因素面临严峻挑战。
According to the latest data from China Customs, China's ceramic tile exports showed significant growth in the first half of 2021: export volume reached 295 million square meters, a year-on-year increase of 19.26%; export value reached $1.948 billion, also increasing by 19.26%. However, the export situation in the second half faces severe challenges due to multiple factors.
东南亚市场：机遇与风险并存
Southeast Asian Market: Opportunities and Risks
目前，越南、菲律宾、中国香港、印度尼西亚等东南亚国家和地区占据中国陶瓷砖出口总量的33.19%。但该地区正成为全球疫情"重灾区"：
- 越南单日新增确诊最高达9690例
- 马来西亚日增2万例且持续上升
- 泰国日增确诊超1.7万例
Currently, Vietnam, Philippines, Hong Kong China, and Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries and regions account for 33.19% of China's total ceramic tile exports. But the region is becoming a global pandemic "hotspot":
- Vietnam's single-day new cases reached a record high of 9,690
- Malaysia reports 20,000 daily cases and continues to rise
- Thailand reports over 17,000 daily new cases

外贸企业面临的困境
Challenges Facing Export Enterprises
佛山某陶瓷进出口公司负责人表示："新客户减少，老客户发货也困难。不仅货柜短缺，海运费已经翻倍。"业内人士预测，下半年可能只有部分工程订单能够正常发货。
A person in charge of a Foshan ceramic import and export company said: "New customers are decreasing, and it's difficult to ship for regular customers. Not only is there a shortage of containers, but shipping costs have doubled." Industry insiders predict that in the second half of the year, only some project orders may be shipped normally.
