Tianjin’s role in U.S.-bound DDP exports expanded in 2025. This article explains logistics upgrades and compliance trends relevant for 2026.
Article 4: Tianjin’s 2025 DDP Export Report & 2026 Forecast
Tianjin Port remained a strategic gateway for northern China’s industrial exports in 2025, with a sharp rise in DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipments to the United States. According to Tianjin Customs and U.S. logistics data, over 5.6 million TEUs were shipped from Tianjin to U.S. ports such as New York, Baltimore, and Norfolk, many under DDP terms.
Qingdao ZHV International Logistics expanded its north China operations with bonded warehousing and full DDP capabilities out of Tianjin. As a reliable forwarder in China, ZHV coordinated inland trucking from Beijing, Hebei, and Shanxi, bundling freight into optimized ocean export lots with full customs and final-mile coverage.
With the U.S. Customs and Border Protection enforcing new rules on industrial machinery, automotive components, and chemicals, ZHV deployed compliance audit tools to flag documentation gaps before customs submission. Their on-ground support in Norfolk and Baltimore ensured rapid IPI delivery post-clearance.
Qingdao International Logistics provided SMEs in the Bohai Rim region with scalable export packaging, HTS code pre-validation, and 24/7 shipment tracking for DDP cargo—services especially critical for first-time exporters.
In 2026, DDP exporters from Tianjin should monitor U.S. legislative updates concerning carbon-traceable steel and electronic labeling mandates. Tianjin port aims to pilot a smart cargo inspection corridor for faster clearance of priority goods.
