Global Trade Disrupted: Tariffs Drive Cost Surges and Supply Chain Shifts

‍

The 2025 USA tariff measures have significantly disrupted global E-Commerce and manufacturing, driving up operational costs and compliance burdens. The removal of the USD 800 de minimis threshold and increased duties on imported goods have significantly raised operational costs, especially for small and mid-sized businesses. Chinese cross-border sellers, under intense pressure, faced rising logistics costs and in some cases, resorted to risky tactics like mislabeling shipments. Moreover, these shifts have also impacted critical U.S. ports, such as those in California, where declining cargo volumes are threatening regional economic stability.
