WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — A South Dakota Senator wants a re-examination of increased shipping costs.
Senator John Thune joined his colleagues in urging the Federal Maritime Commission to reevaluate the new fees imposed for ocean carriers at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach that will be imposed starting November 22.
The members expressed concerns that these increased shipping costs will eventually be passed on to American consumers, who are already facing numerous challenges as a result of the ongoing supply chain crisis.
