Danish shipping giant Maersk estimates that the average effective tariff rate faced by companies for container goods shipped to the US is 21%, which is lower than the peak of 54% before the US suspended equal tariffs in April. The world is watching how the US suspended equal tariffs expire in July and August, respectively. The outcome of the tariff negotiations will affect global trade and consumer sentiment in the coming months. Maersk also said that the first half of this year saw a strong increase in container demand. The situation was not entirely surprising, and saw customers implement orders in advance before tariffs were announced.
