Plan Ahead Amid Policy Shifts and Market Volatility

Ongoing policy shifts in the U.S. are contributing to global market uncertainty and supply chain instability. Now is a critical time to prioritize forward planning and build flexibility into your procurement strategies to stay ahead of potential disruptions through the remainder of 2025.

At Netchem, we’re closely monitoring the evolving landscape and are committed to keeping our partners informed. When changes occur—whether regulatory, logistical, or economic—we’ll share timely updates and support you in adapting quickly and confidently.

Ocean Freight – Peak Season Starts Early

Ocean freight costs are expected to climb throughout the summer as peak shipping season kicks off earlier than usual. Many importers are accelerating their timelines to secure inventory ahead of potential delays and cost increases. This surge in demand is putting added pressure on capacity and rates across major trade lanes. To avoid disruptions, we recommend booking shipments early. Netchem is working closely with our logistics partners to stay ahead of these trends and keep you informed.
