Expeditors management discusses tariff impacts, Red Sea disruption, and de minimis changes in Q&A
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Complexity from tariffs and trade uncertainty historically benefits Expeditors; shippers now know what to expect.
- Q3 productivity improved: more shipments per person than Q3 2019; company right-sized for current volumes.
- Air capacity tight in Vietnam due to demand outpacing passenger belly space; tightness expected to persist.
- Even if Red Sea reopens, carriers may not return quickly; congestion likely from simultaneous arrivals.
- Expeditors supports de minimis rule changes; sees potential business opportunities if rules tighten.
