Introduction

The world of international trade is once again facing turbulent times. Recent news has highlighted the potential implementation of new tariffs by former U.S. President Donald Trump, creating a wave of confusion and uncertainty in the trade sector. This situation underscores the critical need for adaptable logistics solutions in today’s ever-changing global trade landscape.

According to a recent analysis by CBC News, Trump has made several tariff threats, including:

• A proposed 10% tariff on all imported goods
• Potential 60% or higher tariffs on Chinese imports
• Consideration of tariffs on Mexican imports if migration issues aren’t addressed

These potential changes highlight the volatile nature of international trade policies and their impact on businesses engaged in import from US or export to US operations.

The Impact of Tariff Uncertainty on International Shipping

The uncertainty surrounding these potential tariffs has far-reaching implications for businesses involved in freight transport, particularly those engaged in international shipping to and from the United States. Here’s how this uncertainty affects various aspects of trade:

1. Cost Fluctuations

Potential tariffs can lead to significant fluctuations in shipping costs, making it challenging for businesses to accurately budget for their international shipping expenses.

2. Supply Chain Disruptions

The threat of new tariffs may cause businesses to reconsider their supply chain strategies, potentially leading to disruptions in established freight transport routes and partnerships.
