    Current Position | Weekly Briefing July 22nd - 28th

    In this episode of The Expeditors Podcast, I delve into the key developments from our weekly briefing for July 22nd to 28th. We explore the recent implementation of Section 301 forced labor tariffs, affecting imports from 60 economies, and the implications of new regulatory frameworks. I also examine the surge in Far East to U.S. ocean freight rates amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions and the gradual easing of congestion in global supply chains. Additionally, I discuss how air freight rates are responding to shifting demand and the evolving landscape of ground transportation, including recent legal rulings impacting brokers. Tune in for a comprehensive overview of the current state of global trade and logistics, featuring insights from our Senior Vice President of Global Ocean, Adam Kord.
