Chinese exporters "on hold" despite US tariff relief
- Chinese exporters at Ningbo port faced uncertainty on 29-30 May 2025 after a federal court blocked most US tariffs imposed since April.
- This situation followed US President Trump's sweeping tariffs announced in April and a recent 90-day tariff reduction after May talks in Geneva.
- Exporters described delayed shipments, a spike in US-bound orders likely due to earlier deals, and a shift of manufacturing orders to Southeast Asia.
- Company owner Xiao Chuan explained that shipments destined for the United States have largely been paused, while Huang described US policy as inconsistent and poorly managed.
- Despite tariff relief, exporters remain cautious, expecting tighter profit margins, reduced volumes, and new orders only after policy stabilizes.
