The US government announced significant changes to import duties that will impact imports into the US, including those arriving through our local gateways at the Port of Miami and Port Everglades. Contact us today to learn more about our services and current warehousing specials. We are an asset-based company, with our own trucks and 155,000 sq ft warehouse.

Summary of Announced Policy Changes:

The new measures, set to take effect starting April 5, include:

  1. Broad Tariffs: New tariffs will be applied to global imports entering the US.
  2. Elimination of De Minimis: The duty-free treatment for low-value shipments (de minimis) exported from China and Hong Kong to the US will be eliminated.
