Description

From de minimis drama to geopolitical trade shakeups, tariffs are doing more than raising prices, they're forcing a full rewrite of how e-commerce logistics gets done. 

Harshida Acharya, Chief Strategy Officer at Fulfillment IQ and host of the eCOM Logistics Podcast, joins the show to explain what these policy changes really mean for brands. If you’re still relying on one warehouse, one fulfillment model, or one country, consider this your wake-up call.

Key Takeaways:

• Tariff shifts and de minimis changes are disrupting the global cost structure for e-commerce brands. 
• Brands overly reliant on Chinese imports or DTC fulfillment models are the most exposed. 
• U.S. regulatory changes are pushing a long-term shift toward nearshoring and diversified supply chains. 
• Fulfillment strategy must align with evolving trade rules to remain sustainable. 
• Strategic investments now will separate the survivors from the reactive.
