Earlier this week in the USA, new USTR measures imposed fees on Chinese-owned or operated vessels calling at the USA, and on non-Chinese operators using Chinese-built ships.

With a large portfolio of ocean freight forwarding and logistics services, the U-Freight Group is keeping a watchful eye on how any of the container shipping lines we use are passing on these expenses.

China has also imposed its own levies on US ships calling at Chinese gateways, describing the move as a means to safeguard its shipping industry from discriminatory measures. The fees apply to US-owned, operated, built or flagged vessels \u2013 but not those that have been built in China.

Rising and easing tensions between the world\u2019s two largest economies have been a recurring feature of the trading environment this year.\u00a0

Still, the timing of the latest announcements appears tactical, with both Trump and Xi Jinping likely trying to strengthen their bargaining positions ahead of trade talks scheduled for later this month.

U-Freight’s customers can be certain that we are in discussions with the container shipping lines with the aim of minimising exposure to rate increases.
