Dear Valued Customer,
As a result of the collaborative efforts between the United States and China, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) port fee has been formally suspended for a period of one year, effective November 10, 2025. The consensus reached by these two nations to defer port fees on both sides represents a significant and positive development for the shipping industry and global trade.
OOCL reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the United States market. Since the implementation of the USTR 301 port fee on October 14, 2025, OOCL has maintained its full range of services and operational capacity. At no time has OOCL withdrawn from the market or compromised the quality of its offerings.
Throughout this period, OOCL has remained fully compliant with all applicable policies, ensuring the timely payment of the port fee and thereby preventing any disruption to our services. This steadfast adherence to regulatory requirements underscores our dedication to our customers and business partners.
Looking ahead, OOCL will continue to serve its customers with the highest standards of excellence and reliability, further strengthening its leadership position in the United States market. We remain committed to investing in our services, expanding our capabilities, and delivering innovative solutions to address the evolving needs of our customers. Regardless of future challenges, OOCL will remain a trusted partner, steadfastly protecting your interests and supporting your success.
We wish to express our sincere gratitude for your continued trust and support. Your partnership is greatly valued as we navigate these changes together.
Thank you for your continued trust in OOCL.
