Guangdong Shenzhen: Foreign trade enterprises have interruptions in Middle East orders, Middle Eastern customers have lost contact, the company has lost millions.

With the continuous escalation of the situation in the Middle East, some foreign trade enterprises in Shenzhen, Guangdong have been directly affected by the orders to the Middle East. A company in Shenzhen that specializes in wireless data terminals has around 50% of its overseas sales coming from the Middle East market. The person in charge stated that currently, the orders from that region are in a state of interruption, with many customers still owing final payments, increasing the financial pressure on the company. At the Yantian Port Comprehensive Bonded Zone in Shenzhen, goods are piling up. The person in charge on-site explained that goods in the bonded zone cannot be shipped out for export, "for example, goods like bags, warehouse capacity has reached over 95%, with around 18,000 cubic meters of backlog in the warehouse." An international logistics company where nearly 90% of its business caters to the Iranian market is now facing a situation where all its local customers are unreachable, leading to losses of large sums of money. The journalist visited another international logistics company in Shenzhen, which had arranged a total of 27 ships to be sent to the Middle East before. However, the sudden change in the situation has left these goods in a dilemma. Over 1,000 containers of related goods have been waiting at sea for over 20 days, with no clear date for docking. The person in charge mentioned, "Four ships have entered the Persian Gulf but cannot dock, continuing to anchor outside and wait, while another 23 ships remain lingering outside the gulf."
