The year 2025 is coming to its final stretch and it is a time to reflect on what it has meant for the logistics sector<\/strong>. A year marked by the strong tariff policy<\/strong> imposed by the United States<\/strong> and a significant increase in volatility. <\/p>\n\n

Specifically, this year has been conditioned by factors such as tariff changes<\/strong> driven by the US administration<\/strong>; the increase in operating costs in transportation<\/strong>, fuel <\/strong>and port services<\/strong>; the reconfiguration of routes and markets due to geopolitical tensions <\/strong>; and greater demands from customers and regulatory bodies in relevant aspects such as sustainability and efficiency. A trend that will continue to define international trade<\/strong> at least during the first months of 2026<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Operinter <\/a><\/strong>as an international logistics operator present on five continents, has sought to ensure agile and reliable solutions that allow its customers to maintain continuity and efficiency of operations in a constantly changing global market<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

All this has forced the sector <\/strong>to operate with unprecedented agility, replanning scenarios and adjusting strategies week by week, since the United States<\/strong> has applied a universal minimum tariff<\/strong> of 10%<\/strong> since last April. In addition to additional surcharges for blocks such as the European Union<\/strong>, which at certain times of the year have reached an effective rate of 28%<\/strong>, when at the beginning of the year it was 2.4%<\/strong>, according to a study by Yale University in the United States.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Although tariff tension<\/strong> has eased recently and many sectors now operate under a 15%<\/strong> benchmark tariff, rates remain well above the usual levels. Overall, the average rate of 14.4%<\/strong> recorded after recent adjustments remains the highest since the late 1930s, according to this report. <\/p>\n\n

Competitiveness and supply chains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The dynamism and unpredictability of this tariff policy<\/strong> have led to sharp movements in international competitiveness<\/strong>. Countries that have reached agreements to lower their tariffs have strengthened their export position, while others continue to face higher barriers, affecting their ability to operate in the U.S. market.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

For Europe,<\/strong> including the Spanish export network <\/strong>with a strong presence in sectors such as food<\/strong>, automotive<\/strong>, machinery <\/strong>and consumer goods<\/strong>, the 15%<\/strong> tariff introduced by the US administration represents a substantial increase compared to the beginning of the year. The need to recalculate costs, redesign routes and analyze alternatives of origin has become a constant practice in order to mitigate these protectionist measures<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

Impact on businesses and consumers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Small and medium-sized companies – in the U.S.<\/strong> and globally –<\/g>are reflecting a considerable increase in import costs, which translates into higher prices for all types of products. In this regard, volatility <\/strong>continues to be a dominant factor. Logistics chains <\/strong>are seeing continuous adjustments in volumes, trade flows and demand for customs services. <\/p>\n\n

A global challenge that requires anticipation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Tariff uncertainty<\/strong> will continue to mark international trade<\/strong> in the coming months. In this scenario, the ability to adapt and the support of specialized operators becomes a decisive factor in maintaining competitiveness. <\/p>\n\n

Operinter<\/a><\/strong> will continue to monitor the evolution of international trade<\/strong> policy and advise its customers to reduce risks, optimize processes and ensure that their shipments reach their destination with maximum guarantees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
