Episode 41 - USTR Port Fees Take Effect – What Happens Next?
This week, the U.S. begins enforcing port fees on Chinese-built, flagged, or operated vessels under new Section 301 tariff measures.
These fees are assessed against the operator listed on the vessel’s COFR — a fact with far-reaching implications for shipowners, managers, and charterers.
In our latest Client Advisory and Podcast (Episode 41), we explain:
Who’s now liable for these fees
The risks of a cosmetic “operator” name change
Contractual and operational steps to take immediately
New guidance from CBP, USTR, and legal commentators
What to watch for from Beijing in response
