Urgent Notice: U.S. Imposes 10% Tariff on Chinese Imports Effective Immediately!

Breaking News: Trump Announces New Tariffs

President Donald Trump announced on January 31 that the U.S. will impose 10% additional tariffs on Chinese imports and 25% tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, effective February 1.

•  Deadline Alert: Clients must submit all cargo manifests for customs clearance by 8:00 PM PST on February 1 (Saturday) to avoid delays.

•  Scope: Tariffs apply to all Chinese imports on top of existing duties, targeting efforts to curb illegal immigration and fentanyl-related chemical smuggling.

Key Details of the Tariff Policy

  ●  Effective Date: February 1, 2025.

  ●  Impacted Countries:

•  China: 10% additional tariff.

•  Canada & Mexico: 25% additional tariff.

  ●  Trump’s Statement:

“These countries cannot stop these tariffs from taking effect on February 1.”

Economic Implications

•  Peterson Institute Study: A 10% tariff on Chinese goods risks harming U.S. and global economies, potentially disrupting supply chains and raising costs for manufacturers and consumers.

•  Wendy Cutler (Asia Society): Short-term tariffs may have limited impact, but prolonged measures could lead to inflationary pressures and market instability.

China’s Response

Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington:

“Trade and tariff wars have no winners. Differences should be resolved through dialogue, not unilateral measures. China and the U.S. share vast common interests and cooperation potential.”

Shipping Market Impact

•  Pre-Tariff Rush: Expect a surge in shipments as importers scramble to avoid tariffs, leading to spiking freight rates and volatile market conditions.

•  Long-Term Uncertainty: Prolonged tariffs could distort shipping cycles and destabilize global trade flows.
