Changes to trade policy are shaking up the air cargo market and new analysis by Freightos suggests the looming cancellation of de minimis eligibility for Chinese imports is expected to significantly reduce the surge of e-commerce goods arriving in the USA by air.
This makes interesting reading for the U-Freight Group, with our strong presence in the expedited international airfreight business, as it is generally felt that the high de minimis level has kept planes full and air cargo rates highly elevated since late 2023.
An article on the Asia Cargo News website, which can be read in full here: https://asiacargonews.com/en/news/detail?id=10557 says that whilst cancellation is on hold at present, it will be interesting to see what happens in due course.
