[Policy Update] U.S. Tariff Ruling Temporarily Suspended – No Immediate Changes to Current Charges
On May 28, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade (USCIT) issued a ruling on a series of recent tariff policies related to "global, reciprocal, and trade-related behaviors." This ruling has attracted widespread attention and could have potentially impacted the tariffs on some Chinese export products. However, shortly after the ruling was announced, the U.S. federal government applied for a stay of execution, which has been granted by the court. During the appeal process, the original tariff policies will continue to be enforced without change.
The impact on freight forwarding clients is as follows:
All goods exported to the United States are still subject to
current tariffs and other import duties and taxes;
Currently, there is no clear timetable for policy adjustments.
It is recommended that you confirm the latest customs
declaration information with our company before shipping;
If the ruling is implemented and takes effect in the future, we
will notify you of the relevant impacts and countermeasures as
soon as possible.
We recommend that clients with export plans to the U.S. continue arranging shipments according to the current operating procedures and keep an eye on future policy developments. Our company will closely monitor the progress of U.S. tariff policies and provide you with timely customs clearance support and compliance advice.
