</script>https://ufreight.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/container_dock_1.jpg901600With our portfolio of global container shipping service, and strong presence on the trades to and from the USA, the U-Freight Group is mindful of the fact that new port fees are set to be charged by the USA on Chinese ships from October 14th, but businesses are reportedly uncertain who will ultimately pay them. Carriers say they don’t plan to pass on the costs to importers and exporters, but some businesses are concerned that may change, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Wednesday (September 17th). The report noted that a reduction of trade flows has stoked competition among carriers and made them reluctant to raise prices for fear that it would cost them business. Some carriers have told customers they currently have no plans to raise prices in response to the fees, though they reserve the right to do so in the future, according to the report.
