Background and Trade Implications背景及对贸易的影响

Since April 2025, the US had implemented minimum tariffs of at least 10% on various agricultural products as part of its reciprocal tariff measures. The new exemptions follow progress in multiple trade agreements, including deals with Cambodia, Malaysia, El Salvador, Argentina, Ecuador, Guatemala, Thailand, Vietnam, Switzerland, the UK, and the EU. This adjustment shows the close link between trade negotiations and supply chain management, where tariff changes can directly influence logistics operations.自2025年4月起，作为互惠关税措施的一部分，美国对各种农产品实施了至少10%的最低关税。在获得新的豁免之前，美国与柬埔寨、马来西亚、萨尔瓦多、阿根廷、厄瓜多尔、危地马拉、泰国、越南、瑞士、英国和欧盟的多项贸易协定取得了进展。这一调整显示了贸易谈判与供应链管理之间的密切联系，其中关税变化可以直接影响物流运作。

Impact on China-US Sea and Air Logistics对中美海空物流的影响

• Increased import volumes: Lower tariffs may boost imports of exempted products, creating additional demand for sea and air transport between the US and China.进口量增加：关税降低可能会增加豁免产品的进口，为中美之间的海运和空运创造额外需求。
• Transport mode and transit time: Many agricultural products are perishable, making air freight or cold-chain solutions critical. Integrated sea-air options can optimize cost and speed.运输方式和运输时间：许多农产品易腐烂，因此空运或冷链解决方案至关重要。综合海空选项可以优化成本和速度。
• Cost and risk management: Tariff reductions lower product costs, but factors such as port congestion, cold-chain capacity, and inland delivery remain critical.成本和风险管理：关税降低降低了产品成本，但港口拥堵、冷链容量和内陆运输等因素仍然至关重要。
• Supply chain flexibility: Companies previously constrained by tariffs can now reconsider US sourcing, requiring logistics providers to offer adaptable capacity and services.供应链灵活性：以前受到关税限制的公司现在可以重新考虑在美国采购，这要求物流供应商提供适应性强的能力和服务。

3. Monitor all transport stages, from US ports to Chinese destinations, using tracking tools for visibility.使用跟踪工具监控从美国港口到中国目的地的所有运输阶段。
4. Reserve cargo space in advance to mitigate capacity shortages during demand surges.提前预留货舱，以缓解需求激增期间的运力短缺。
5. Evaluate overall costs including freight, cold-chain, insurance, and inland transport in addition to tariffs.评估总体成本，包括运费，冷链，保险，内陆运输以及关税。
