Meanwhile, the popularity of DIY culture has kept small power tools in high demand at the retail level.

• The lack of compliant documents (such as, ISF declaration) will face the risk of goods detention.: Port congestion and documentation omissions can easily trigger demurrage fees or even return risks.
• Localized Competition: U.S. customers prefer localized services (e.g., English after-sales support, rapid spare parts supply), placing higher demands on cross-border suppliers.
