At present, with the sharp reduction of China-US tariffs, the 90-day "tariff window period" and coincide with the peak season of shipping orders, it is expected that due to the adjustment of transportation capacity and the increase in cargo volume, the next step may be the beginning of a new round of "rush to freight" for companies going overseas in the US market.Affected by the tariff war, in order to maintain freight rates, many shipping companies have suspended some routes to the United States and transferred container ship capacity to other routes such as Europe, which may further intensify the subsequent supply and demand situation.
Linerlytica said: "Since May 1, the spot prices in the United States and West have basically remained around $2,400 per 40 feet, but are expected to soar to above $3,000 in the next few weeks. If demand rebounds strongly, it may continue to rise in June." According to data released by the Shanghai Aviation Exchange on May 9, the US line maintained resilience under the influence of airline capacity regulation, with the United States, West, and the United States rising 3.3% and 1.6% respectively from the previous period.With the release of subsequent shipment demand, it is expected that the rise in freight rates in the US line market will appear.Of course, it is also necessary to consider that the remaining 30% tariff will still suppress the profits of many export companies, and we need to pay attention to the actual scale of transportation.

A freight forwarder manager said that on May 12, the day when China and the United States announced that they would lower tariffs from each other, the number of bookings and consultations was 3 to 4 times that of recent times.The sharp drop in tariffs has led a large number of Chinese foreign traders to launch an emergency cabin booking operation."There is more demand and fewer ships." In addition, since American merchants are likely to stock up at this stage, export volume will increase rapidly in a short period of time, "so, the cabin space will be very tight in the near future."
Many freight forwarding companies also said that starting this week, everyone is rushing for shipments, the market pace is very tight, and the overall US line is almost overdue.According to foreign media Loadstar, shipping consulting firm Linerlytica said that after China and the United States agreed to lower tariffs on each other, shipping companies expect the peak season for trans-Pacific eastbound trade to arrive early, and have announced a surcharge of US$1,000 to US$2,000 per 40-foot cabinet.According to the Federal Maritime Commission, the carrier must announce 30 days before the price change takes effect.However, some shipping companies have now made a general rate hike (GRI) on May 15 for the Trans-Pacific Eastward Tour.
ONE announced a GRI of $1,000/FEU, while the GRI of Dafei, Yangming and Yixing is $2,000/FEU, and the GRI of COSCO, HMM, Hapag-Lloyd and Evergreen is $3,000/FEU on May 15.All 7 shipping companies will also implement the same GRI on June 1. For details on specific freight adjustments and collection, please consult the corresponding shipping companies.
