A West Coast port strike is off the table for now, but the risk isn't gone.

The ILWU and Pacific Maritime Association have extended labor negotiations, averting a planned Nov. 1 strike at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The new deadline is 5 p.m. PT on Nov. 4.

For importers and customs brokers, now is the time to review contingency plans, monitor terminal operations and appointments, identify time-sensitive shipments and communicate with transportation partners.

Even in the absence of a strike, uncertainty can create challenges for cargo movement and delivery schedules.

Stay ahead of potential disruptions. Read our latest newsflash for the key developments and recommended steps to protect your supply chain.

October is ending, but the trade-policy conversation is far from over.

The United States Trade Representative has opened a public comment process for its 2027 National Trade Estimate Report, with comments on foreign trade barriers due Oct. 29.

For companies engaged in international trade, developments like these are worth watching because changes in foreign trade barriers, tariffs and market-access rules can affect sourcing and supply-chain decisions.

Don’t wait until a policy change reaches your entry to start paying attention.

Follow American Shipping for practical updates on the trade developments that matter to importers.

CAPE Phase 3 access just expanded; is your company in the next wave?

On October 20, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) notified importers' attorneys that another group of importers can now access Phase 3 of its CAPE refund system.

Who's eligible: importers that filed suit over the IEEPA tariffs and submitted their importer of record (IOR) numbers between July 31 and August 13.

CBP launched Phase 3 on October 6. But until now, access was limited to importers who submitted their IOR numbers by July 30.

If your company falls in this window, now is the time to prepare your declaration.

U.S.-China trade is moving again; but importers shouldn’t treat a tariff change as a reason to stop checking the details.

The Trump-Xi summit and subsequent U.S.-China Board of Trade recommendations include proposed more favorable tariff treatment for roughly $30 billion in non-sensitive goods on each side. The recommended products span categories including household goods, toys, agricultural products and medical devices.

For importers, the takeaway is simple: check the specific product, HTS classification and applicable tariff treatment before assuming your landed costs have changed.

Trade policy can move quickly. Your entry documentation needs to keep pace.

Tariff rates can change quickly; your supply chain can’t afford to operate on yesterday’s information.

From changing duty rates to evolving customs requirements, importers need visibility into what’s happening before cargo reaches the port.

CAPE Phase III Filings Are Open; Is Your Company Ready to File?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) opened Phase III of the CAPE refund system on October 6, but your ability to file depends on when your attorney submitted your required Importer of Record (IOR) information.

If your company filed suit with the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) and your attorney submitted the required IRS/IOR information to CBP on or before July 30, 2026, now is the time to take action.

Contact American Shipping Company today to discuss your CAPE III filing. Email Ralph Natale at [email protected] for assistance determining your next steps and preparing your declaration.

Importers whose information was submitted after the July 30 cutoff must await further CBP guidance and rolling processing schedules.
