With tax rates rising to 100 USD compared to 2020, this is a challenge for Vietnamese and Indian manufacturers as the world economy is still suffering from covid 19 and the high Freight rates in Asia from the end of 2020 up to now continue to take place and have not shown signs of stopping

This year's Bissau season opens earlier than 2020 (May 22). Therefore, Bissau exporters hope that this year's exports will be licensed soon and may minimize the shortage of vessels that have occurred during the season.

Note: The tax rate above is an estimate to help readers refer to the total tax fee.
