Navigating the Section 321 Changes: Portway Stands with You
The recent Executive Order from the White House (Read Here) marks a seismic shift in cross-border trade. With regulatory discussions ongoing, millions of businesses that rely on duty-free e-commerce shipments are now facing new tariffs, increased costs, and stricter compliance requirements.
🔹 Over 1 billion Section 321 shipments are processed a year.
🔹 Many small and medium-sized businesses that depend on Section 321 will need to quickly adapt or risk disruptions.
🔹 Customs brokers, freight forwarders, and importers will now face new classification and compliance hurdles that could impact clearance times and operational costs.
This is a fundamental change that could reshape global e-commerce and supply chain logistics. We understand how stressful and uncertain this moment feels for the businesses and people who have built their livelihoods around efficient, cost-effective trade.
