Chinese exporters to US tread warily as tariff uncertainties linger

Chinese exporters, like Deng Jinling of Lucky Bird Trade, cautiously welcomed the temporary 90-day tariff reprieve by the US while remaining uncertain about future trade relations. The unpredictable nature of the US-China trade war and potential policy changes, especially under President Trump, has left Chinese manufacturers seeking alternative markets and strategies, such as scouting for warehouses or expanding operations abroad, to mitigate risks. Despite the temporary tariff reductions, anxiety among exporters about post-pause scenarios remains high.

High US tariffs pushing Chinese exporters to tap Indian firms for shipments to America: FIEO

American sourcing firms and Chinese exporters are engaging with Indian companies to supply goods to the US, circumventing high tariffs imposed by the US on Chinese products. The Federation of Indian Exporter Organisations (FIEO) notes the US tariffs on Chinese goods are up to 145%, compared to India's 10%. This situation creates export opportunities for Indian businesses, as Chinese manufacturers seek partnerships with Indian traders to maintain US market access, offering commission fees in return.

Exporters take wind out of shippers’ sails

Exporters in various sectors, including electronics and apparel, are opting to airlift consignments to the U.S. ahead of potential reciprocal tariffs imposed by President Trump.
