DHL drops embargo on medium-value goods after US walks back customs rule

DHL Express withdrew its suspension on deliveries valued above $800 to private individuals in the United States after negotiating changes to new customs rules that had created a significant administrative burden, the company said in a customer notice Monday.

The express carrier, part of the Deutsche Post Group, one week ago stopped accepting business-to-consumer shipments with a value above $800. The suspension was implemented to ensure service levels after U.S. Customs and Border Protection, at...

Expect ‘subdued’ peak container season in wake of tariffs, says analyst

Recent policy changes by the Trump administration — call it an upheaval — are reshaping the dynamics of international commerce, and have profound implications for freight and logistics, says a supply chain analyst.

The scope of the current tariff implementations is unprecedented, both in terms of the levels applied to China and the high rates extended to other U.S. trading partners, said Judah Levine, head of research for Freightos, in a new report. Unlike previous trade tensions where flows...

New rule on low-value imports raises cross-border trucking concerns

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration’s proposed rule changing how low-value imports are processed by customs poses risks for billions of dollars in cross-border revenue generated for motor carriers, according to the American Trucking Associations.

In comments filed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, ATA’s senior manager for international trade and security policy, Kaitlyn Holmecki, argued that CBP’s Entry of Low-Value Shipment rule, which will affect shipments of $800 or less hauled into...

¿Ha estallado la burbuja de comercio electrónico para la carga aérea?

Qué diferencia hace un mes. A fines de enero, la comunidad de logística aérea era optimista que 2025 sería otro año fuerte. Se proyectó que el crecimiento disminuiría entre 4% y 6%, pero mantener la ganancia tórrida del 12% del año pasado no fue realista una vez que el mercado se recuperó de una...

Has the e-commerce bubble burst for air cargo?

What a difference a month makes. In late January, the air logistics community was optimistic 2025 would be another strong year. Growth was projected to slow to between 4% and 6%, but maintaining last year’s torrid 12% gain was unrealistic once the market recovered from a long downturn. 

As the specter of tariff wars rises, logistics professionals now worry that air cargo demand and rates could contract. The most deflationary measure is a U.S. threat to eliminate duty-free treatment for low-value...

Will ocean rates collapse?

Ocean demand being pulled forward

The main debate regarding the container ship market is whether several factors will converge to tank rates later this year. Most industry professionals are on board with the view that there was a significant pull forward of imports to avoid tariffs and potential port worker labor strife. According to Global Port Tracker, port activity increased 14.4% and 14.8% for December and all of 2024, respectively. Imports at the Port of Los Angeles have also been tracking...
