Shipping from China to the USA in July 2025: What E-Commerce Sellers Must Know

Navigate Tariffs, Port Closures & Amazon Policy Shifts With Confidence

In July 2025, cross-border sellers are facing major logistics challenges—and opportunities. Rising U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, temporary port closures, and Amazon’s tighter inbound policies are reshaping how freight moves from China to the USA.

But while the landscape is shifting, one thing is clear: e-commerce sellers who act now can avoid delays, reduce costs, and outperform competitors.

Here’s what’s happening—and how Passionship Logistics helps you adapt.

🔺 1. Tariffs Are Rising – Up to 70% Starting August 1st

The U.S. Trade Representative has confirmed increased tariffs on multiple Chinese product categories—including electronics, batteries, and tools. These changes are already impacting freight quotes and customs clearance.

What you can do:
✅ Review your HS codes and double-check classifications
✅ Choose DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping to pre-pay duties and avoid customs delays
✅ Consider switching to lower-duty alternative SKUs

📦 2. Amazon Tightens Inbound Rules for FBA Sellers

If you're shipping to Amazon in July, beware of:

  • ❌ Non-compliant packaging being rejected

  • ❌ Barcode errors causing check-in delays

  • ❌ New restrictions on battery-powered products

  • ✅ Stricter enforcement of carton dimension limits
