Through interviews with multiple logistics companies, 2Firsts learned that this round of price increases ranges from RMB 3 to RMB 10, with the highest increase reaching nearly 30%.

【2Firsts Original】On October 25, 2Firsts learned from several freight forwarding companies engaged in e-cigarette logistics for the U.S. and Europe that shipping costs to both markets have now risen. 

Through interviews with multiple logistics companies, 2Firsts found that the price increase this time ranges from RMB 3 to RMB 10 per kilogram, with the highest increase reaching nearly 30%. 

Some logistics companies explained that the increase is due to countries in Europe and the U.S. beginning to stock up from October onward to meet demand for major upcoming holidays such as Christmas and New Year, leading to a relative shortage of logistics capacity and pushing prices higher.
