Ryan Peterson: 我是Flexport的创始人兼首席执行官。新的关税是以产品原产国为基础,通过向美国财政部账户支付ACH款项来执行。这些关税是累积的,会增加到现有关税之上。对于这些新的关税,征税时间点是基于船舶离港时间,而不是货物进入美国的时间,这导致了企业争相在截止日期前装运货物。我公司调查显示,28% 的客户暂停所有海运预订,部分原因是他们已经囤积了大量库存,部分原因是正在进行谈判,以期关税降低。在关税不确定性的环境下,很难进行长期决策,供应链需要更长期的规划,而关税的不确定性使得这变得非常困难。尽管关税对Flexport的业务构成挑战,但我相信长期来看全球贸易仍将增长,而Flexport专注于降低成本和提高效率的业务模式将具有价值。由于关税,公司可能会试图摆脱现有合同,因为他们可能无法以合同价格盈利。面对关税,Flexport正在评估是否重新部署飞机,从其他地区(如台湾或越南)运输货物。与之前的关税相比,目前的关税更高,并且对更多国家/地区的产品征收关税,使得企业难以通过将制造业转移到其他国家来应对。对拉丁美洲的关税相对较低,这可能是因为美国从拉丁美洲进口的商品较少,而不是出于战略考虑。我认为关税不太可能导致制造业回流美国,反而可能会导致制造业减少,因为进口机器和零部件的成本增加。接下来,我将关注客户的应对策略、订购量变化以及价格调整情况,以了解关税的影响。 Traci Alloway: 我们讨论了关税对市场和实体经济的影响,以及它如何影响供应链和全球贸易。我们还讨论了关税如何执行以及如果现有关税维持现状,情况可能会如何变化。 Joe Wiesenthal: 关税增加的成本可能会被企业吸收,也可能转嫁给消费者,这将导致美国企业的盈利能力下降,并减少投资和招聘。关税的不确定性会长期影响投资和制造业发展。特朗普政府能否承诺不再使用关税威胁,这将影响企业未来的决策和投资。

Chapters
This chapter explains the operational implementation of tariffs, focusing on how tariffs are applied, collected, and the timing of payments. It highlights the unusual rule for reciprocal tariffs based on departure dates, leading to a mad scramble to meet deadlines.
  • Tariffs are applied based on country of origin or product category and are cumulative.
  • For reciprocal tariffs, the duty is based on when the vessel departs, creating a rush to meet deadlines.
  • Payments are typically made via ACH to the U.S. Treasury account through Customs and Border Protection (CPB).

Shownotes Transcript

It was just last Wednesday that President Trump announced his new tariff schedule with the rest of the world. And it's already having an effect. Companies are scrambling to get goods on planes or boats to beat the first deadline. Companies are already trying to get out of existing contracts. And some previously planned factory endeavors have even been put on hold. On this episode, we speak with Ryan Petersen, the founder and CEO of Flexport, to talk about what he's already seeing from the perspective of his business. We also talk about how tariffs are operationally implemented, and how things might change if the existing tariffs remain in place.Read More: Tariffs Are Dragging Down Even Companies Without US Exports)Jeep Maker Stellantis Offers to Help Suppliers Pay Tariff Costs)Only Bloomberg.com subscribers can get the Odd Lots newsletter in their inbox — now delivered every weekday — plus unlimited access to the site and app. Subscribe at bloomberg.com/subscriptions/oddlots)
