US EditionUS targets attempts to dodge Trump tariffs with China in crosshairs
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The US targets tariff evasion by Chinese firms using Southeast Asian transshipment, with imports rising 5.5% in July as companies rush to avoid higher duties, National Retail Federation reported.
- U.S. President Donald Trump escalated tariff enforcement on July 11, 2025, targeting Chinese goods transshipped through third countries to evade higher levies.
- This action follows long-standing concerns about trade diversion and accusations that Chinese companies exploit lower tariff rates in Southeast Asia and beyond to dodge U.S. duties.
- Meanwhile, EU-China trade relations have sharply deteriorated amid mutual tariffs, investigations like China’s probe into European brandy imports, and Beijing's use of rare earth export restrictions as leverage.
- U.S. ports are forecast to process 1.86 million TEU in July, a 5.5% rise from June, driven by importers front-loading shipments ahead of tariff impositions.
- Experts expect the July cargo surge to be temporary amid ongoing trade tensions, overcapacity, and little prospect for resolving EU-China disputes before the July 24 summit.
