New Opportunities in China-U.S. Logistics: How Freight Forwarders Can Seize the Temporary Window

What the 90-Day Tariff Suspension Means for Cross-Border Sellers and How LHD Logistics Helps You Respond Swiftly

Introduction

On May 14, 2025, the U.S. and China reached a 90-day suspension on new tariffs, providing cross-border sellers and freight forwarders a rare window of opportunity. As trade temporarily stabilizes, logistics service providers must act quickly to support clients in accelerating shipments, optimizing inventory, and reducing risk.

This blog explores how Shenzhen-based LHD Logistics is helping cross-border sellers seize this opportunity through flexible freight solutions, fast customs clearance, and one-stop dropshipping support from China to the U.S.

Understanding the Market Surge
The tariff pause has led to an immediate surge in China-U.S. shipping demand as sellers rush to take advantage of the reprieve.

Market impacts include:

• Sudden increase in booking volumes
• Space shortages on air and ocean carriers
