**A tariff order, global freight forwarding industry 'earthquake'
——Who will be eliminated? Who will overtake on the bend**
Trump signs the new policy of "reciprocal tariffs", which will take effect at 00:01 Eastern Time on April 5th, causing a sudden change in the global trade map:
✅  10% benchmark tariff covers all trading countries
✅  Major countries with US trade deficits impose high taxes (China 34%, Vietnam 46%, EU 20%)
✅  Car tariffs soar to 25%
Trump bluntly said, "We only charge each other half of the tariffs, which is fair
But for the freight forwarding industry with an annual throughput of trillions, this "tariff hurricane" is causing three major waves——

The freight charges for China US routes have increased by 18%
Supply chain diversion causes operational costs to double
‌3 ️ Profit cut in half:
The profit margin of small and medium-sized freight forwarders has fallen below 2%, and the net profit of large enterprises has shrunk by 40%. The industry reshuffle has entered the countdown!
