The demand for the decline fed by the Trump tariff that strikes American ports and air freight

Donald Trump’s trade war with Beijing began to influence the American economy on a wider scale as operators in container ports and air freight managers about sharp declines in the goods transferred from China.

Logistics groups said that the US container reservations have decreased sharply since 145 percent entered Definitions On Chinese imports of the United States.

The Los Angeles port, the main road to the goods from China, expects that the scheduled arrivals in the week that starts on May 4 are less than a year ago, while flying air processors have also reported sharp declines in reservations.

The reservations for the 20 -foot standard shipping containers from China to the United States were 45 percent less than the previous year by mid -April, according to the latest data available from the container tracking service.

John Denton, Secretary -General of the International Chamber of Commerce, said that the disturbances of Chinese commercial flows and the United States reflected the “kicking decisions on the road” while they were waiting to find out the speedy connection of Washington and Beijing to a deal to reduce customs tariffs.

A poll of the International Criminal Court, which was conducted in more than 60 countries, after the announcement of the “Liberation Day” tariff in Trump on April 2, showed that the trade will be affected permanently, whatever the result of the upcoming negotiations.

Denton said the cost of access to the American market will be the highest in the 1930s. Noting the basic tariff for all countries, he said that there is “almost acceptance that 10 percent will be the minimum fee to reach the American market, whatever the other uncertainty there.”

Washington and Beijing showed signs of starting to feel antiquities – with both sides announcing each other Customs tariff exemptions This week on the important products for the economies of each of them and Trump, which predicts a 145 percent tariff “will significantly decrease.” but, China said On Friday, he was not in talks with the United States.

Since the first container shipments of China to a tariff of land in the United States next week, shipping operators said that supply chains are turning.

Nathan Strang, ocean shipping manager at the American Flexport Group, said that companies were waiting for the shipping of goods in anticipation of Washington and Beijing to agree to an agreement to reduce the fees.

Logistics executives said that American importers are looking to use armed stocks before importing fresh arrows from China. They also keep stocks in the enslaved warehouses where stock can be stored without fees with taxes paid on clouds, or transferred to other nearby countries such as Canada.

“They originally sit on the goods and sit on the goods in the destination,” Strang said.

The world’s largest container shipping lines in the world said that Chinese customers canceled about 30 percent of their reservations outside China.

Ts Lines, which carries the list of Taiwanese containers listed in Hong Kong, has been commenting on one of its services in the West Coast in recent weeks. “The request is not there,” said a person in the group.

The declines in the sizes of the arrangement may be fed to the landing in Los Angeles, according to the charging data analysts, the marine fly operation, which reported an increase in “empty sailing”, was canceled, where scheduled ships were canceled from China.

Nearly 400,000 containers are booked on Asia’s roads to North America during the four weeks of May 5 of the plan – a 25 percent decrease from the amount scheduled in the same period at the beginning of March, before imposing a customs tariff.

The Los Angeles Port alone expects 20 empty sailing in May, which represents more than 250,000 containers – a height of six in April.

This is the sharp fall of this week, when the arrivals rose 56 percent on an annual basis-a sign that importers were transferring connections from other Southeast Asia such as Cambodia and Vietnam, which has a “90-day” stand in definitions.

The container prices reflected the supply chain, according to data from Logistics Hub Freightos, with a 15 percent increase in a 40 -foot container of Vietnam compared to 27 percent on China and the main United States.

“The rates of other Asian countries to the United States may continue to climb before the deadline of the tariff in July,” said Judah Levin, head of research in Fiyeitus.

The sizes of air conditions also decreased sharply, according to the Airforwards Association in the United States, where the reservations of its members from China decreased by about 30 percent.

“Many members have stopped receiving orders from China,” said CEO Brandon Farid. “It also creates an impact on prices and reservation rates as merchants’ reaction to every White House news was.”

The industry is expected to be subjected to an American decision to close the “minimum” scheme that allowed commodities less than $ 800 to be imported free from customs tariffs, an important road for retailers in e -commerce such as Shein and TEMU. Chinese goods are scheduled to lose the exemption from May 2.

Lavinia Lau, the chief trading official in Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong, who contributes to about a quarter of its revenues, said it expects to “soften” the demand between China and the United States due to the customs tariffs and minimal ruling changes.

Hong Kong shipping said that the work from China to the United States decreased about 50 percent after increasing the customs tariff.

E -commerce executive officials noticed the shipping request. “We see requests for a significant price quotation in terms of air shipping charges,” said Wang Chen, president of the E -Commerce Association, via the Shenzhen borders.

Although the storage and the supply chain helped store consumers from sharp fall in charging sizes, the carrier and retailers are starting to feel the effects of slowdown in imports.

The Arizona-based Knight-Swift Transportation, based in Arizona, one of the largest American truck transport companies, warned of expected low folders, noting the uncertainty caused by the threat of definitions.

CEO Adam Miller said some of the group’s largest agents “express their concern” that the cost of definitions will feed on less folders in May.

“There are some who have told us, yes, they have canceled the requests or stopped demand, especially from China, and we will discover how to adjust their supply chain to avoid cost,” he said.

Retailing consultants said that the purchase patterns reflect Three consecutive months From softening consumer confidence indicators.

John Xia, CEO of Momentum Commerce, who helps consumers to sell about $ 7 billion annually to Amazon, warned of a possible “double noise” of high prices and low spending on consumers.

He said: “We see evidence that consumers started trading … while at the same prices crawl.”
