The Office of the United States Trade Representative has postponed the implementation of some of the measures to impose substantial tariffs on Chinese imports such as electric vehicles, computer chips and medical products for at least two weeks. This decision reflects the United States' trade policy considerations. On the one hand, it may be to further review the 1,100 opinions received in order to formulate a more comprehensive trade strategy; on the other hand, it may also be a cautious response to the current trade situation and market reactions.

However, this tariff adjustment is inextricably linked to other aspects of cross-border trade. For example, for the cross-border e-commerce industry, changes in tariffs directly affect the cost and price of goods. Take overseas express delivery as an example. Although the overseas express delivery service itself is not directly affected by this tariff adjustment, it is indirectly affected as an important link in cross-border trade.

When the United States imposes tariffs on certain Chinese imports, the production costs of related companies may increase, leading to higher product prices. This may reduce consumer demand for these products, which in turn affects the order volume of cross-border e-commerce. Changes in order volume will in turn affect the business volume of overseas express delivery, because the demand for express delivery is closely related to the circulation of goods.

In addition, tariff adjustments may also affect the supply chain layout of cross-border e-commerce. In order to cope with the cost pressure brought by the increase in tariffs, companies may seek new suppliers or adjust production bases, which will undoubtedly change the transportation routes and logistics methods of goods, thereby indirectly affecting the operation mode and service quality of overseas express delivery.

From a more macro perspective, the adjustment of the US tariff policy may also trigger changes in the global trade pattern. Other countries may adjust their trade policies based on the US measures, thus forming new trade barriers and cooperative relationships. This poses a challenge to the stability and predictability of cross-border trade, and also requires overseas express delivery companies to consider more uncertainties when planning business development.

In short, the US tariff adjustment on China may seem like a partial trade policy change, but in fact it has a far-reaching impact on all aspects of cross-border trade. Although overseas express delivery services are not directly affected, they are also difficult to remain immune in this complex trade environment.
