Global trade is becoming increasingly complex. In April, the United States announced that it would impose a total tariff of up to 145% on China. After China took countermeasures, the cumulative tariffs on some Chinese goods even reached 245%, and one-eighth of high-risk goods faced customs inspection delays.

In August 2024, US Customs detained 12% of Chinese machinery imports for manual review, resulting in delays of 3-7 days, and SMEs lost an average of $18,500 per container, including sales losses and fines.
A furniture supplier in Foshan, Guangdong, lost a $2 million Walmart contract after running out of stock on Black Friday.
CUC's solution: pre-cleared HS codes reduced their customs detention rate from 14% to 3% in 6 months.

"Tariffs are now eating up our profit margins. It's really impossible to do business in the United States now," said an agricultural product exporter in Shandong. Because of Trump's 145% tariff, they have a hard time restocking.
Not only are exporters having a hard time, but American companies are also facing difficulties. The BBC reported that in Chinatowns across the United States, some catering operators who need to rely heavily on imported Chinese ingredients and raw materials are facing the pressure of a 30 to 40% increase in costs.
Among them, some Chinese restaurants have up to 70% of their products imported from China, and local suppliers and wholesalers have begun to limit purchases from individual restaurants or retailers. The cash flow of traditional industries is facing a huge test.
