Trump’s US Tariffs - How will your business be affected | Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce | Ep #52

Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce

New U.S. tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China were announced over the weekend, bringing major changes to cross-border trade. With de minimis thresholds effectively eliminated and steep tariffs in place, sellers worldwide—whether shipping to or from these countries—must prepare for higher costs, compliance challenges, and potential shipping delays….but that’s not all because these tariffs are not based on the country items are being shipped from, they are based on where the goods are made which means any country could be affected by these tariffs.

In this episode of Decoding Cross-Border Ecommerce, hosts Clint Reid, Founder & CEO of Zonos, and Aaron Bezzant, Head of Global Trade Strategy, break down the latest policy changes, their impact on ecommerce, and what businesses can do to stay ahead. Plus, we’ll cover how Zonos helps automate duty and tax calculations, ensuring accurate landed costs at checkout.

In the hour after shooting this episode, Trump met with Mexico’s president and paused the tariffs on Mexico by 30 days.
