May report unpacks how seasonal demand, cost pressures, and global disruptions are reshaping freight flows
The customs enforcement environment in 2026 looks very different from even two years ago. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has moved beyond traditional, paper based risk targeting and now uses advanced data scoring systems to detect anomalies in import data, trace potential transshipment routes, and connect supplier networks tied to forced labor.
Produce season disrupts freight markets every year, but in 2026, the disruption is hitting a system that has less room to absorb it.
Air freight rates are constantly shifting, driven by factors like limited capacity, rising fuel costs, and disruption across global trade lanes. For shippers, the challenge isn’t just keeping up with those changes—it’s making the right call when they happen.
Supply chains are often treated as downstream functions—reacting to decisions made elsewhere. But in today’s environment, freight markets, trade policy, and sourcing shifts are among the earliest indicators of broader economic change. Nowhere is that clearer than automotive: a just-in-time, high-value, cross-border network with near-zero tolerance for disruption. When stress shows up here, it’s rarely isolated—and increasingly, the same forces are shaping supply chains across industries.
