US court ruling sees return of tariff turbulence

Former President Donald Trump has found himself back in the headlines after US courts struck down a series of proposed tariffs. However, that wasn’t the end of the story. New duties have quickly followed, keeping importers and exporters firmly on edge.

With our portfolio of international freight and logistics services for both import and export cargoes, this development is of great interest for the U-Freight Group and the shippers we serve.

The key issue isn’t just the level of tariffs — it’s the unpredictability. Rapid policy shifts make sourcing decisions, landed cost calculations, and long-term contracts increasingly complex.

The broader concern? Trade volatility is becoming a structural feature of the market. For logistics planners, flexibility, not stability, is now the baseline assumption.
