Two prominent freight transporters—DHL and FedEx—have now temporarily suspended picking up shipments from China that are bound for India. “DHL Express India confirms it’s temporarily suspending pick up of import shipments from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau due to recent delays in customs clearance of shipments into India,” the company said in an emailed response to BloombergQuint. “We’re in close contact with our customers to keep them abreast of the developments.” FedEx, too, confirmed a similar development. “We’re currently facing backlogs beyond our control, leading to congestion at our facilities,” it said in a statement. “We’ll continue to monitor the situation and will resume our normal operations as the circumstances allow.”
