New US Tariffs: What They Mean for Your Supply Chain — and How TMS Can Help
The August 1 tariff reset marks a pivotal moment for global trade strategy. For procurement and finance leaders, agility isn't optional—it’s essential.
The current administration is preparing to implement the next round of tariffs on imports from strategic trade partners, including China next month. These tariffs are designed to protect domestic industries, but they also increase costs for businesses that rely on global sourcing.
For procurement and finance teams, tariffs directly impact landed costs, profit margins, and cash flow planning. This new scenario is forcing companies to rethink supplier networks and inventory strategies.
One effective way to soften this blow is by using Free Trade Zones (FTZs) and Container Freight Stations (CFS) — especially in logistics gateways like Miami, FL.
FTZs allow goods to be imported, stored, and even assembled without immediate payment of duties. Duties are only paid when items enter U.S. commerce — and in some cases, not at all.
CFS warehouses support deconsolidation, short-term storage, and re-exporting — making them ideal for companies looking to adapt quickly and avoid unnecessary charges.
Together, these tools offer a strategic buffer against tariff-related volatility.
