Upcoming: The August 1st deadline, where the Trump administration has implied the Liberation Day tariffs will resume is coming up.

What’s important:

  • The U.S. is negotiating trade deals with 18 countries; only the U.S.-UK and Vietnam deal is finalized. 
  • Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated the U.S. may extend reprieve for countries negotiating in “good faith.”

What our customers are saying about us  

Seriously good service! And I am talking both the actual shipping solutions, and the customer service, attention to detail, care and support from the Flavorcloud team. Since we onboarded almost a year ago, I’ve been able to direct every single question to a single person, Ryan. They don’t hand you off to some overseas support-line with two days response time or ask you to talk to a chatbot. Ryan genuinely answers any questions or concern we might have usually within minutes. A few hours, max. Not days or weeks. 

And they take our very specific questions and problems we run into seriously. This says a lot about the actual company, that they let customer support issues reach all the way to the top, and the developers. 

Just today I found some functionality we would find useful in our company, I let Ryan know, he spoke to the CEO, and the development is now in the pipeline. 

We would not trust anyone other than the Flavorcloud team with us-based international shipping.” – Project Racket
