Tariffs Delayed For Now

President Trump announced on July 7 that he will extend the 90-day pause on ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs until August 1. He also issued letters to 14 countries notifying them of new tariff rates between 25% and 40%. These new duties apply to imports from nations like Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand alongside sector-specific levies. Trump’s move aims to pressure partners into reciprocal tariff cuts and reshape global trade balances.

Meanwhile, these sudden changes can raise costs for importers and disrupt shipping schedules. At TLC, we’re tracking each announced rate and updating our carrier agreements in real time. Our route planners are exploring alternative lanes and customs solutions to keep shipments on schedule and control costs.

With tariffs still in flux, logistics providers must stay agile and responsive—and TLC thrives on change. We’ve mobilized dedicated teams to monitor policy updates and renegotiate contracts to shield clients from fee hikes. Contact us today to discuss how we’re adjusting to these tariff extensions with your freight.
