CEOs in global shipping this week in Long Beach, California, met to attend a major annual conference, and expect to discuss market trends and chain challenges.

Instead, they found themselves in developing crises.

On March 4, President Donald Trump raised contracts of mostly free trade with the largest commercial partner in the United States, with 25 % slapped the goods from Mexico and Canada. The White House also applied another 10 % duty to China the highest similar rise a month ago.

This step sent shock waves through global trade, which sparked fears of stagnation, high prices of consumers and logistical chaos. While strengthening the customs tariff was a long time ago, one of the Trump signature issues, the veteran trucks at the TPM25 Conference of the S& PLABAL at Long Beach said they don't expect to follow this completely.

“It is like the earthquake,” said CEO Allen, CEO of the Trade Forces Consulting Company, who spoke at a conference committee about overcoming the second Trump period. “You are doing your best to prepare, but when it comes, it is 8.0 on the Richter scale. She said in an interview:” It is a shock. ”

Deepening uncertainty, Huard Lottenic Minister Howard Lootnick said in late March 4 that Trump was weighing in the middle of North America's neighbors. Lootnick said in an interview with Fox Business that a deal can be announced as soon as March 5.

Lootnick said that the customs tariff may land “somewhere in the middle” with Trump “moving with the Canadians and Mexicans, but not along the way.”

Trump has threatened with high definitions for years, and a large increase in globally was understood. In the twin ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach – the largest American portal of Chinese Import – the sizes of shipping swollen in recent months, a sign that importers were moving in shipments before possible trade restrictions.

This style is familiar: during the first period of Trump, traffic increased in the port when companies raced to the stored goods, only to drop the customs tariffs on Chinese imports. Dean Crook, an analyst at Dat Freight and Analytics, said that half a continent has jumped shipping rates between the United States and Canada since the recent Trump elections in November.

“It is clear that the two trucks were putting as much stock as possible,” he said. “There was a real increase in the rate of crossed fluctuations, size and prices between the two countries and some of the highest rates we saw within two years.”

JOD Gonzalez, a customs broker in Larido, Texas, tried for weeks to make a similar warning. But most of them are concerned, he is sure that the duties will not become valid – especially after a previous delay in the customs tariffs of Canada and Mexico just one month ago.

Then the definitions started, and the phone did not stop the ringing. One invitation after another, Gonzales has followed the clients with the biggest change in the rules that govern trade on the US -Mexican border during more than 30 years at work.

What was a world free from customs tariffs for many companies that suddenly served a world in which they had to scramble to reach money to pay 25 % of the value of imports. For many, this means rushing to carry out the basics, prepare an account with customs and protect the American border to pay new import taxes.

“It is just a cultural shock,” said Gonzalez, who held the position of head of the National Customs Mediators. “Everyone was somewhat waiting to find out what would happen.”

Other companies around the region are also accelerating to adapt to industries from transportation to food – and even a rare world of private aircraft.

In Grupo Fletes Mexico, a truck transport company in the border city of Ciudad Juarez, customers request discounts to compensate for high costs of definitions. But with high margins, he cannot say yes and fears the demobilization of workers among the 2600 employees of the company if the customs tariff remains in place for a long time.

“We do not have many options to reduce costs,” he said. “There is a lot of uncertainty and instability.”

In Canada, Ugowork is planning in Quebec, which makes fork fork batteries, to divide a 25 % average with its customers in the United States.

“But at some point, this is not sustainable,” said CEO Philip Boughamp. He said he was considering opening a factory in the United States, where half of Auguork agents were.

At Bondi Prode based in Toronto, which distributes fresh fruits and vegetables, the Vice President of Finance Paul Sando said the company cannot absorb the cost increased by 25 % and it will have to transfer some of them at least to customers. Citrus fruits, tomatoes, peaches and berries are among the affected goods.

Bondi also performs production and import of fruits from the United States or Mexico, then sell them to the American northeast

“I am laughing because it is amazing to think, but yes, this will be an effect in two directions for the final consumer,” Sando said.

Greg Riv, CEO of Elevate Aviation Group, who provides rented flights and advises customers in aircraft purchases, said at Corporalate Jet Business, some American buyers pressure a temporary stop button.

Spare parts are great, which prompted the potential buyers of Jets made by Bombardier Inc. To decline and try to assess the total cost of ownership. For example, if someone needs $ 500,000 in spare parts of the Quebec aircraft, the new definitions will add another $ 125,000.

“If you bought a plane from the Canadian manufacturer, you are married to any Canadian import tasks.” While he was still trying to understand the scope of definitions on Tuesday morning, “commercial aircraft will greatly strike.”

At the TPM25 conference, news of Lutnick's comments erupted on a possible compromise with Mexico and Canada during a session with the Trade and Customs expert Beit Mento. After presenting a set of questions from retailers and importers, it ended with some words of advice.

“The panic is very expensive, right? Mento, the customs and trade manager of the DSV logistics provider, said it may be more expensive than patience.” The best thing you can do for you, to your customers, to your executives, is preaching calm, not exaggerating the reaction, and no reactions in the knee. ”

DSV A/S (North America) ranks tenth in the TOPS list 100 list of the largest logistics service companies in North America. The 14th rank is ranked in TT list of the 50 best global shipping companies.
