Freight rates from China never stand still. Capacity swings, fuel costs, tariff changes, seasonal demand, and geopolitical disruptions all push prices up or down — sometimes by 20-50% in a single quarter. Shippers who track these movements can time their bookings strategically, negotiate better contracts, and avoid paying peak premiums.
Our market intelligence resources compile rate data from our own shipments, carrier filings, and industry sources into actionable monthly reports. Each update covers FCL, LCL, air freight, express, and rail rates across six major regions, with clear trend indicators and specific recommendations for your next booking decisions.
