Recent trade agreements between the U.S. and China have temporarily eased some tariffs and port fees affecting ocean freight, but ongoing uncertainties hinder a significant rebound in trans-Pacific shipping.

Experts predict that stability may improve over the next year, although shipping volumes may still fluctuate as the market adjusts to ongoing regulatory pressures.
