📊 China–U.S. Shipping Trend Forecast


With the extension of the tariff truce, the China–U.S. shipping market is expected to follow these key trends over the next 90 days:

1. Peak Season Stocking Starts Early

  • Starting mid-August, many cross-border e-commerce sellers and B2B exporters will begin stocking up for Black Friday, Christmas, and year-end sales;

  • Demand for express ocean freight and air freight will rise rapidly, especially to West and Central U.S. fulfillment centers.

2. Air Freight Prices May Fluctuate

  • With loosened export restrictions on high-value tech goods (e.g., AI chips, precision electronics), air freight capacity may tighten by September;

  • For time-sensitive shipments, we recommend booking space early to avoid price surges.

3. Strong Growth in Express Sea Freight

  • Express services (approx. 12 days to U.S.) are increasingly favored by clients balancing speed and cost—ideal for FBA restocks and e-commerce bulky goods;

  • We suggest booking early to secure space and ensure timely delivery.

4. Ocean Freight Stable Short-Term, Possible Fluctuation After November

  • With tariff rates unchanged, both FCL and LCL ocean freight pricing remains stable for now;

  • However, if no new agreement is reached after November, rates could fluctuate again during the year-end period. Keep a close eye on policy developments.

📌 Recommendations:

  • For orders requiring delivery before October, start scheduling shipments now.

  • For peak season inventory, make your shipping decisions by August to stay ahead.

  • Contact us for customized “Air + Express Sea Freight” hybrid plans to balance delivery speed and shipping costs.
