The new Congress will be seated in January 2027, and the Trump administration&#8217;s policies could be hindered from that date onwards, although decisions on international trade still rest with the President. This remains an issue to watch closely for international businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the logistics front, the walkout at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles is still subject to negotiations between employers and terminal security guards, who account for around 2% of the workforce. The two sides have still not reached an agreement, and the strike notice has already been postponed several times to avert a potential strike. Negotiations are still ongoing at the time of writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW SHOULD YOU ORGANISE SHIPMENTS BETWEEN EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In light of these developments, our experts guide you and offer transport tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a member of the US C-TPAT security programme, an NVOCC registered with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), and a FIATA and IATA agent, we offer tailored solutions for all your shipping projects to the USA:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sea, air and road freight, in full container loads (FCL) or groupage (LCL), with regular departures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Import and export shipments, door-to-door or door-to-port, whatever the Incoterm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable equipment: 20&#8242; and 40&#8242; dry, reefer, flat rack and open top containers, flexitanks and tank containers, for standard, temperature-controlled or dangerous goods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wine and spirits transport, thanks to the expertise of Transo, our US-based department serving American importers and distributors, for shipments from any origin to North America<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure pick-ups by standard or refrigerated trucks, and ambient or temperature-controlled warehousing in France and abroad, with inventory management and order tracking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs and documentation management<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International network of agents, to facilitate the coordination of operations and local follow-up<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time tracking with BLS (Balguerie Live System), to monitor your air and sea shipments, transhipments and CO\u2082 emissions, and receive alerts (see our article BLS: HOW TO TRACK YOUR INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS IN REAL TIME?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated contact person for personalised follow-up of each file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our transport expertise, our network of agents and our tracking tools, we support you in assessing your needs and managing your import-export operations with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changing customs duties, political uncertainty following the midterm elections and port tensions in the United States are affecting international logistics as a whole.
