 TikTok negotiations might be thawing US-China trade tensions (swipe up?), but don't expect freight rates to plummet until that 30% tariff stops trending (see what I did there?).  Transpacific rates surprised with a 30% September jump despite a weak peak season, hitting $2,300/container. Meanwhile, the upcoming USTR port call fees for Chinese vessels (starting Oct 14th) are scrambling carrier routes. And that de minimis rule change...has helicopters patrolling.

All that and more—in less than 10 minutes.
