Following adjustments to China-US tariff policies, US buyers have stepped up their stockpiling efforts, leading to a significant surge in demand for maritime shipping to the US. Shenzhen Yantian Port, a key hub in southern China with dense North American routes, has witnessed a remarkable increase in exports destined for the US. Consequently, the traditional peak shipping season has shifted earlier, arriving in June and July. Numerous shipping companies have announced hikes in freight rates on routes from Asia to the US, with the cost for a 40-foot container escalating by as much as USD 3,000. Industry experts attribute this to a confluence of factors, including tight shipping capacity and a burgeoning market demand.
