Uncertainty in global trade due to changing import tariffs can affect your U.S. Customs bond and your profitability. We’re seeing higher volume and higher rates in import cargo as importers race to bring in their cargo before new tariff increases.
All the changes can feel chaotic. So Strix and Shippabo joined forces to review these changes in an hour-long webinar.
We shared our collective experience on import tariffs, overview recent changes, and walked through how these changes affect your U.S. customs bond.
We recently received notice from several carriers that they are experiencing higher import cargo volumes due to a changing trade environment.
Concerns triggered by the recent tariff increases have lead some importers to increase their cargo activities in advance and at a higher volume to avoid the possibility of the new tariff increases. The sudden increase in container volume has caused vessels to be over-booked and containers rolled across all carriers.
