In May 2024, the U.S. announced a 35% tariff hike on Chinese imports, including EVs, lithium batteries, and semiconductors, effective July 2024.
A Shenzhen-based smart home electronics manufacturer (anonymous per request) faced plummeting margins—their original 7.5% tariff jumped to 35%, increasing per-container costs by $28,000.
Transworld’s compliance team, partnering with legal experts, reclassified the product under HS Code 8517.62 ("wireless communication modules") instead of "smart control terminals," lowering duties from 35% to 28.5%—saving $5,600 per container.
Ocean Freight Diversion: 60% of shipments were rerouted through Transworld’s Hai Phong (Vietnam) hub, leveraging U.S.-Vietnam trade agreements to reduce tariffs to 19.2%.
Final Assembly in Malaysia: By completing >35% value-add in Penang, goods qualified for non-China origin, bypassing direct export restrictions.
