Kaku Trading Discusses Post-CNY Shipping Surge and Tariff Outlook with FedEx UK

On April 2nd, Kaku Trading's CEO, Chris, and General Manager, Sikkum, met with James from FedEx UK to review key logistics developments and assess the potential impact of upcoming geopolitical changes on global shipping.

The meeting opened with a discussion on the notable increase in the volume of goods being shipped following the Chinese New Year (CNY) break. James confirmed that FedEx has observed a sharp rise in post-holiday freight activity, with Kaku Trading contributing significantly to the uptick. The surge reflects the company’s strong momentum heading into the second quarter and its continued growth in international markets.

Attention then turned to the potential reintroduction of tariffs under former President Trump’s proposed trade policies. The group explored how such changes could affect Kaku Trading's supply chain—particularly in terms of shipping costs, delivery timelines, and product pricing. Both parties emphasized the importance of proactive planning and close coordination to navigate any disruption that may arise from shifts in international trade agreements.

The meeting reaffirmed the strong partnership between Kaku Trading and FedEx UK, with a shared commitment to staying agile and responsive in an evolving global trade environment.
