Starting October 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m., mainland China UPS Economy commercial express rates to the United States are scheduled to increase by an average of RMB 18/kg across all weight brackets, according to a rate adjustment notice.

What could this mean for businesses?

🔹 Small-parcel shipping costs may rise
🔹 E-commerce sellers could face additional pressure on profit margins
🔹 Sample shipments and urgent deliveries may become more expensive

For example, an increase of RMB 18/kg would mean approximately RMB 180 more for a 10 kg shipment, based on the announced average adjustment. Actual charges depend on the updated rate sheet and chargeable weight.

💡 What can shippers do?
✔️ Check the latest rates before dispatch
✔️ Review packaging dimensions and chargeable weight
✔️ Compare express, air freight, and consolidated shipping options where suitable

Ocean freight isn't the only shipping cost worth watching. For businesses importing from China, even small changes in parcel rates can add up over time.

Are rising shipping costs becoming a bigger challenge for your business?

23/10/2026

China's trucking industry is facing another cost challenge.

Following a sharp increase in domestic diesel prices, with reports of fuel costs rising by more than RMB 2 per liter, some trucking operators are struggling to absorb the additional expenses.

One logistics notice reveals the pressure on the ground: a trucking provider has requested a 10% increase in trucking rates, described as a fuel surcharge, effective September 20.

For trucking fleets, fuel is a major operating expense. When diesel prices rise sharply, maintaining the same rates becomes increasingly difficult.

But the impact doesn't stop with truck operators.

Higher domestic transportation costs can gradually feed into factory pickups, port drayage, and overall export logistics expenses. For exporters and freight forwarders, this creates another challenge: balancing rising operating costs with customers' expectations for stable shipping prices.

The bigger question is: How much longer can logistics providers absorb rising costs before they have to pass them on to customers?

In international trade, the final shipping cost is shaped by more than ocean freight rates. Sometimes, the pressure starts much closer to the factory.

🚨 U.S. Port Congestion Alert: New Surcharges Effective November 1, 2026

Shipping from China to the USA? Keep an eye on your destination costs.

Due to increasing U.S. port congestion and limited chassis availability, temporary additional charges will apply to containers arriving on or after November 1, 2026, under our logistics partner's updated policy.

📦 What You Need to Know

🚛 Chassis Usage Fee — 40'/45' Containers
• First 3 days: FREE
• From Day 4: $40/day

🏗️ Storage Fee
• First day: FREE
• From Day 2: $45/day

⚠️ Additional charges may also apply for missed warehouse appointments, cancellations, waiting time, demurrage, detention, and other operational delays, depending on the applicable terms.

How can importers avoid unnecessary costs?
✅ Plan warehouse appointments in advance.
✅ Arrange unloading as soon as possible.
✅ Monitor free-time deadlines.
✅ Coordinate empty container returns early.

At TD Logistics, we believe successful shipping is about more than ocean freight rates. It's about managing the entire journey—from China to your final destination in the USA.

Your cargo is ready.
Your shipment is booked.
Your customer is waiting.

But one required document is missing.

Now your shipment may be delayed while someone tracks down paperwork, corrects information, or obtains an approval.

And the cost may go beyond the document itself.

⏳ Time lost: Clearance or delivery may take longer.

💰 Extra charges: Storage, handling, or other costs may arise, depending on the situation.

📦 Disrupted plans: Inventory arrivals, warehouse appointments, and customer commitments may need to change.

🚢 Missed opportunities: A delay can affect seasonal sales or leave stock unavailable when customers need it.

The documents required depend on the product, destination, and type of shipment. They may include a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, certificate of origin, import permit, or product-specific certificate.

Not every shipment needs every document. But the documents that are required should be identified and prepared before they become a problem.

Before your cargo ships, ask:

✅ What documents are required for this product and destination?

✅ Who is responsible for preparing each one?

✅ Are the details consistent across all documents?

✅ Are any permits or approvals needed before arrival?

Don't wait until your cargo is held up to discover what's missing.

A document may be just one page.

But when it's required for your shipment, its absence can cost much more than the paper it's printed on.

Your factory gives you a production schedule.

Order confirmed.
Production starts.
Goods ready on time.

So far, everything looks under control.

Then comes shipping.

A vessel schedule changes.
Cargo misses a sailing.
Customs clearance takes longer than expected.
Delivery gets pushed back.

Suddenly, your inventory plan, sales schedule, and customer commitments are at risk.

International shipping involves variables that importers cannot fully control. But that doesn't mean you have to plan blindly.

Smart importers build flexibility into their shipping plans.

📦 Book early — Don't wait until cargo is ready to explore shipping options.

📅 Allow a realistic buffer — Transit time is not the same as guaranteed delivery time.

📋 Prepare documents in advance — Missing or inconsistent paperwork can create avoidable delays.

🚢 Have a backup plan — Understand your alternatives if schedules change.

📊 Plan around the arrival date — Work backward from when your inventory needs to be available, not just when the factory finishes production.

The goal isn't to predict every disruption.

It's to make sure one delay doesn't derail your entire business.

You may not control the shipping schedule. But you can control how well you prepare for it.

“Open the market—or face countermeasures.” That is the message behind the European Parliament’s latest position on China.

On October 7, 2026, the European Parliament adopted a recommendation calling for greater economic reciprocity and a proportionate EU response if China fails to improve market access for European businesses. The vote was 454 in favour, 86 against and 110 abstentions.

The move comes as EU trade officials hold high-level talks with Beijing over market access and the growing trade imbalance. However, the parliamentary recommendation does not itself impose new tariffs. Any specific trade measures would require further action through the relevant EU procedures.

What should importers watch?

📦 1. Tariff and trade-defense measures
Future developments could affect certain product categories through additional duties or other trade restrictions.

📋 2. Customs and product compliance
Correct HS/HTS classification, origin documentation and product-specific requirements remain essential when importing from China into Europe.

🚢 3. Total landed cost
Freight rates are only one part of the equation. Import duties, customs-related charges, compliance costs and final delivery can all affect your margins.

🌍 4. Supply-chain flexibility
Importers should monitor policy developments and prepare for possible changes without making sourcing decisions based on headlines alone.

The takeaway

EU–China trade relations are facing renewed pressure, but tougher political language does not automatically mean every Chinese product will face higher tariffs.

For European importers, the practical priority is to stay informed, verify the rules that apply to each product and calculate the full landed cost before placing an order.

TD Logistics supports businesses shipping from China to Europe with freight forwarding, cargo consolidation, customs coordination and door-to-door logistics solutions.

The U.S. and China have agreed on reciprocal tariff reductions covering approximately $30 billion of imports from each side.

More than 90% of the products covered by the arrangement are expected to have the additional reciprocal tariffs removed and return to MFN tariff treatment, subject to each country's domestic procedures.

For U.S. importers, the covered Chinese products include categories such as:

• Toys
• Household appliances
• Kitchen & bathroom products
• Baby products
• Holiday & decorative products

For importers, this could change the landed cost calculation for affected products.

Lower duties can potentially mean:
→ Better margins
→ More competitive pricing
→ More room for larger orders
→ New opportunities for China sourcing

But the key point is: not every Chinese product is covered. Importers should check the exact HTS classification and applicable tariff treatment before making purchasing decisions.

📦 Bigger boxes don't always protect products.

It sounds logical:

More space = more protection.

But in international shipping, oversized packaging can sometimes create more risk, not less.

When a carton is much larger than the product inside:

• The product may move around during handling
• Empty space can increase impact forces
• Cartons may be easier to crush or deform when stacked
• More packaging volume means higher freight costs
• Fewer cartons may fit into a container or truck
• Oversized packages can create additional handling challenges

Good packaging isn't about using more material.

It's about using the right protection in the right amount.

A well-designed package should consider:

✅ Product shape and fragility
✅ Internal cushioning
✅ Carton strength
✅ Stacking conditions
✅ Pallet configuration
✅ Container utilization
✅ Handling during international transportation

The goal isn't to make the box bigger.

The goal is to make the packaging smarter.

Because you're not only shipping the product.

You're shipping the space around it.
