FreightAmigo offers compliant freight solutions, HS code automation, and real-time tracking for seamless air cargo amid sanctions and duties. Updated tables, checklists, and FAQs included.
Why US-EU Trade Tensions Matter for Aerospace Freight in 2025
**Escalating US-EU trade tensions** are reshaping aerospace supply chains, hitting aircraft components, engines, and avionics hardest.
- Tariffs up 15-25% on key HS chapters like 8802 (aircraft) and 8411 (engines)
- Supply delays average 20-30 days due to compliance checks
- Aerospace freight volumes down 12% YoY per IATA 2025 data
These tensions stem from steel/aluminum disputes, tech export controls, and green aviation subsidies, demanding precise **aerospace logistics solutions**.
