What many don't understand, Miller said, is that the hike in shipping costs isn't uniform and smaller importers face a disproportionate impact. Hajjar estimates that the price of sweaters will go up around 10%, as the company will pass on partВ of its extra cost to customers. Smaller operations are facing greater pressure from higher shipping costs. That's nearly more than double the $15,000 cost in April. Hajjar's company's cost of shipping has gone up from $3,900 a container in 2019, he said, to $28,000 a container in September. Price increases range from 18% to 42% on some items. Prices on those lawn decorations increased an average of 26% this year.

The company, founded in 2011, has had to work hard to outsmartВ big retailers that began stocking some garish holiday sweaters several years ago. Many big retailers, he reasons, will prioritize shipments and might not purchase as many seasonalВ items that won't sellВ if they get caught in delays and show up in February.
