Chinese exporters in the southern Chinese metropolis of Shenzhen have renewed their confidence following the release of the outcomes of China-U.S. trade talks, triggering a quick rise in U.S.-bound orders and inquiries. China's Ministry of Commerce on Thursday unveiled the outcomes achieved by Chinese and U.S. delegations during their recent economic and trade talks in Kuala Lumpur. The U.S. side will cancel the 10-percent so-called "fentanyl tariffs" and suspend, for an additional year, the 24-percent reciprocal tariffs levied on Chinese goods, including goods from the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, according to the ministry. China will make corresponding adjustments to its countermeasures against the aforementioned U.S. tariffs, the ministry said. In a swift response to the positive signals, export firms in Shenzhen are ramping up preparations for renewed orders to North America. At a Shenzhen-based cross-border logistics firm, sales director Zhuang Qiurui noted a dramatic uptick in demand. "Our transportation and customs clearance costs are expected to drop by about 10 percent. Right after the policy announcement yesterday, we received inquiries from several North American clients who had paused cooperation. They're all re-planning their Christmas season shipments. Within 24 hours, our inquiries about shipments to the United States jumped by more than 30 percent," Zhuang said. In a foreign trade enterprise specializing in the design and manufacturing of printed circuit boards and electronic components, its founder, Gong Shengwen, said that some American buyers are reaching out to the firm, signaling a potential revival of stalled partnerships. "Some U.S. clients have proactively contacted us to see if they can pull the business back," Gong said. For e-commerce operators targeting the U.S. market, the news couldn't come soon enough. Zhang Zhifei, general manager of a firm specializing in pet supplies and household appliances, wrapped up a midday meeting with U.S. buyers on Friday. He said the orders that were stalled by tariffs earlier this year will now go back on the schedule. "In the foreseeable future, I think as long as we keep improving our design, research, and development capabilities, and sharpen our market insights, our clients will definitely keep coming," Zhang said. The momentum is evident at Yantian Port, southern China's busiest hub for North American routes, which handles over a quarter of the country's exports to the United States. "The recent high-level interactions between China and the United States have sent positive signals, prompting many clients to accelerate their shipments. With market confidence rebounding, our operations volume will continue to climb steadily," said Kang Hongjun, duty manager of the port's operation service and development department.
