Chinese electric car import to USA

The Rise & Rise of China’s EVs & US Rules on Importing Them

While China dominates the market, cornering many countries’ imports to meet local demand, the US fights the trend to import made-in-China EVs to protect and grow domestic EV production while striving to achieve its environmental goals.

China’s solar panels – global benefits, but a stew for the US

China’s investment in renewable energy has been tremendous. There is no way around China for any country seeking to increase its solar capacity. Most recently, the country’s biggest solar panel makers cut prices by around 27 percent as raw material costs dropped. Low solar prices can help Europe diversify energy sources, lower dependency on Russian gas, and reach climate goals. However, what about the US, for whom solar panels are a particular bone of contention in its trade war with China? Let’s take a look!

US East Coast Vs. West Coast Ports In Domestic Trade War

US companies in many industries have long depended on west coast ports, as opposed to those on the east coast, as the main entry point for imports. However, importers are shaking up that hierarchy as they rethink how and where to ship goods to save time and money and reduce risks. What has caused this shakeup, and will it persevere?

US importers are shifting cargo flows from West Coast ports to those on the East Coast due to labor negotiations, the AB5 trucking law, and a desire to save time and money. East Coast ports, including New York, New Jersey, and Savannah, have seen an increase in rail freight and warehouse usage as a result. Ports in Maryland, Virginia, and Georgia are expanding their investment to accommodate the surge in rail capacity. West Coast ports remain hopeful for a resolution in the ongoing labor negotiations in 2023.

Customs Clearance & eezyimport - How to Import to the US

How to Import to the US

But how? eezycustoms enables self-filing through its intuitive eezyflow dashboard automatically and without hiring a customs broker!

LCL Shipping costs

Global supply chains’ environmental impact – are there rules?

Ever-growing consumer demand means ever-expanding global supply chains. Demand, in turn, means an increased need for raw materials, manufactured goods, and ingredients which translates into enhanced environmental damage – such as climate change. While supply chain processes have been hugely impacted by many factors, not excluding the Covid-19 pandemic, reduced inventory levels, and labor shortages, ignoring its ecological footprint and impact threatens all of us.
