Since 2025, the US market has been shrouded in waves of price increases. Since July, Philips Hue has raised the price of smart lighting products in the United States. Its parent company Signify has clearly stated that "the price increase is due to tariffs." In fact, as early as February, Philips took the lead in raising prices in markets outside the United States, with an average increase of 10%. This is just the tip of the iceberg-from automobiles, home appliances to daily consumer goods, more and more brands are taking practical actions to cope with the pressure brought by tariff cost transfer.
According to the US Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), Toyota will raise prices across the board in the US market, with an increase of about US$270 per unit; Lexus will increase by US$208; BMW will raise prices by as much as US$2,500 in some models. Volkswagen, Ford, Subaru, Volvo and other brands have also launched price increase plans. At the same time, leading manufacturers in the fields of toys, clothing, sports brands, etc. are also quietly following up, trying to respond to the increasing operational and supply chain risks by raising prices.
In such a market context, if cross-border sellers want to maintain price competitiveness and stabilize profits, they must seek breakthroughs in the logistics link. US overseas warehouses are becoming a key tool to break cost barriers.

Especially in the current situation of international transportation costs fluctuating, customs clearance pressure increasing, and delivery cycle extending, deploying goods in local US overseas warehouse in advance can effectively avoid platform delivery defaults, save high last-mile freight costs, and improve consumer shopping experience.

U-Speed's overseas warehouse in the United States can provide a variety of personalized services such as return and replenishment, labeling and re-listing, which effectively improves the turnover efficiency of goods.

For cross-border sellers, this is a necessary guarantee for establishing a stable operation chain.
In the face of the tide of price increases, the US overseas warehouse is the moat of sellers
At present, the "increase" is not only a tariff, but also a chain reaction of the global supply chain. In such a market environment, overseas warehouses are not only logistics nodes, but also an important weapon to help sellers stabilize their profit margins and seize the opportunity to fulfill contracts.
