**New US Additional Tariffs Increase Pressure on International Supply Chains**

The USA has announced additional import tariffs of 10 and 12.5 percent respectively on goods from several countries. The measure is related to allegations of forced labor and could have implications for international trade and global logistics.

For companies exporting goods to the USA, tariff strategy, compliance, and supply chain management are gaining further importance. Higher import duties can significantly increase overall costs and put existing procurement structures under pressure.

Logistics service providers and freight forwarders must also adapt to changing conditions. Depending on country of origin and goods flow, alternative sourcing or transport corridors may become economically more attractive. At the same time, the importance of complete documentation throughout the entire supply chain is increasing.

Export-oriented companies in particular should review their supply chains and existing compliance processes. Transparent certificates of origin and early risk analysis can help avoid delays in customs clearance and additional costs.

The announced additional tariffs once again demonstrate how closely trade policy, customs law, and international logistics are interconnected. For many companies, diversification strategy is increasingly becoming an important tool to make supply chains more resilient and flexible.
