Your International Logistics & Regulatory Compass!
TRADE ALERT UPDATES
As the year comes to an end, we will continue to closely monitor the ongoing negotiations between the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), tracking any significant developments that may impact labor relations and port operations in the coming year. We will also be keeping a close eye on January 15th, which marks the expiration of their contract.
In addition, we are monitoring the potential impact of potentially widespread and significant tariffs. These tariffs could influence the cost of goods, supply chain strategies, and international trade relations, so staying informed on their status remains a priority as we move into the new year. We will monitor this closely as Inauguration Day approaches on January 20th.
As always, do not hesitate to contact your Rogers & Brown representative or email us at Sales@rogers-brown.com with any questions or concerns.
