　　會產(chǎn)生哪些影響

　　Consequences

　　齋月期間，穆斯林國家的政府和企業(yè)都將調(diào)整工作時間，包括海關(guān)、港口、貨代、倉儲等機關(guān)和企業(yè)，這些進出口業(yè)務可能陷入低迷乃至停滯狀態(tài)。

　　During Ramadan, Muslim countries’ government and enterprises will adjust their working hours, including the customs, the port, forwarder and warehouse. These services will be unavailable for a while.

　　對船公司來說 For carriers:

　　出口穆斯林國家的貨物在齋月來臨之前會有一個小旺季，船公司也可以適當調(diào)漲海運費增派運力增加營收。而齋月期間，貨量會下滑3~5成。明智的船公司會在齋月前調(diào)配大船擴大運力賺取更多運費。

　　There will be a small peak period before Ramadan and carriers can increase charges to increase their profits suitably. During Ramadan, cargo volume will decrease for 30% to 50%. So they will deploy some large ships to expand transport power to earn more freight charges.

　　對出口商而言 For exporters:

　　對貨主來說，提前做好準備永遠是做好生意的關(guān)鍵。計算好航程因素，盡量使貨物在齋月開始之前抵達目的港，會比較方便收貨人及時清關(guān)提貨。否則在齋月期間，作業(yè)周期會延長一些。如果在齋月期間抵達，可以向船公司請求提供14~21天的FREE TIME。

　　For owners of cargo, the key of making business is to make preparations in advance. Think well and make sure that the goods can be delivered to the destination before Ramadan because it will be more convenient for consignees to go through customs clearance and receive the goods. Or during Ramadan, the operation period will be delayed for a little. If the goods arrive during Ramadan, you can ask carrier to provide you with 14-21 days free time.

　　當然，貨主也可以選擇在齋月結(jié)束前后抵達目的港，這樣就能很快趕上開齋節(jié)的消費期。

　　Of course, consignors can choose to ship the goods when Ramadan is about to finish then they will catch the busy season of Lesser Bairam.

　　此外，齋月期間，人們的社交活動會大量增加。各行各業(yè)的人也都在主動利用齋月的社交功能，展開一系列的積極行動。外貿(mào)企業(yè)也可抓住這樣的機會，和客人多多進行交流。

　　In addition, during Ramadan, people will be more willing to have social activities. All walks of life are trying to make use of Ramadan to take actions. Foreign trade enterprises can also seize the chance to communicating with customers more.

　　因為所有的穆斯林都會非常的重視這個齋月，所以提醒廣大的外貿(mào)和貨代企業(yè)們，提前安排出貨計劃，避免貨到目的港沒人提貨所產(chǎn)生的費用。

　　For all the muslims value Ramadan a lot so foreign traders should make advanced preparations to keep yourself from demurrage charges.
