With the end of de minimis treatment for imports from key U.S. trading partners, businesses are reevaluating their supply chains amidst ongoing trade policy changes and uncertainty. Experts suggest that companies should consider utilizing U.S.-based third-party logistics (3PL) providers to mitigate potential tariff impacts. Smaller brands are encouraged to focus on domestic operations, while larger firms should collaborate with customs brokers to minimize costs. Additionally, some are exploring Type 11 customs entries as a simplified alternative for importing goods, a process that could become more prevalent as companies adapt to new regulations.
