Trump tariff threats leave supply chain stakeholders seeking clarity
News: A recent Kuehne + Nagel webinar on navigating potential 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports saw high engagement, with 1,500 attendees—three times the usual turnout.
Greg Tompsett, VP of Customs Brokerage USA, noted the urgency for information as shippers brace for possible tariff implementation.
President Trump’s threats aim to pressure Mexico and Canada on migrant and drug issues. If enacted, shippers must assess inventory in transit and explore alternatives like bonded warehouses, foreign trade zones, or deferred imports. Similar tariffs in 2018 on Chinese goods boosted freight demand, tightening trucking capacity. The industry now faces uncertainty over potential trade disruptions and increased logistics costs.
