The signal

Supply chain stakeholders are calling on the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to permanently suspend fees and charges linked to China-origin shipments.

The effort aims to reduce logistics costs and operational complexity for importers across multiple sectors. A permanent suspension would provide regulatory certainty and help stabilize shipping expenses in a volatile freight market.
