We brought our global team together in Shanghai to celebrate Freemen Nutra’s 30th anniversary, and it was nothing short of incredible. Having colleagues from around the world in one place was a powerful reminder of what this company has become. What started as a single vision has grown into a truly global business, built over decades through strong relationships, shared ambition and a lot of hard work. At its core, Freemen Nutra has always been about trust, transparency and long-term partnerships, and that is what continues to drive us forward. A huge thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. We are proud of what has been built and even more energized for what is ahead. And to the man who started it all, David Zhang, thank you for trusting us with your vision. Here's to continuing our journey. Together. #FreemenNutra #30Years #Anniversary

Sometimes the best ingredient stories start in the forest. 🌲 Bluebonnet Nutrition recently launched a Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 supplement featuring plant-based D3 sourced from loblolly pine trees and it has already sold out once! Instead of traditional lanolin sources, this Vitamin D3 is produced from pine sterols derived from loblolly pine, creating the same bioidentical cholecalciferol molecule from a renewable, plant-based material. At Freemen Nutra, we supply this ingredient through SunPine®, our vegan Vitamin D3 sourced from loblolly pine. Seeing innovative ingredients like this move from forest → ingredient → finished product → sold-out shelf is exactly the kind of momentum we love to see. Get it now before it sells out again! https://lnkd.in/eKzn6HGK #vitamind #nutraceuticals #plantbased #ingredients #supplements #innovation #bluebonnet #vegand3 #sunpine

🌍 Freemen Nutra Operations Update: Middle East Conflict & China - U.S. Trade Lanes Following the February 28 escalation in the Middle East and vessel restrictions near the Strait of Hormuz, global shipping markets are experiencing renewed volatility. 🚢 Expected Impact on China → U.S. Shipments • Rising fuel costs as oil markets react to regional instability • Upward pressure on ocean freight rates due to global vessel reallocation • Container imbalances in Asia from disrupted global repositioning • Tightened global air freight capacity and higher rates 🛡 Mitigation Steps for Customers • Place POs earlier and extend planning horizons • Build safety stock on critical SKUs • Reserve air freight only for truly time-sensitive materials Freemen Nutra is actively monitoring carrier capacity, fuel trends and routing adjustments to minimize disruption to our customers. We will continue to provide updates as conditions evolve.

📢 Severe Weather & Port Update — East Coast / NJ-NY Gateway Due to a historic blizzard that impacted the northeastern United States earlier this week, operations at the Port of New York & New Jersey were suspended for 3 days (Feb 23–25). Most terminals have now resumed operations as of Feb 26, but significant congestion and delays are still expected as the region works to clear backlogs. The Freemen Operations team is evaluating hot inbound shipments and will reach out directly if there is any expected lead time variability. Should you have any questions on specific orders, please reach out to your Freemen representative.

Key Tariff Changes Effective Feb 24, 2026 IEEPA Tariffs Ending: All tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act will cease to be collected on goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse on or after 12:00 a.m. ET, Feb 24, 2026. New Global Tariff: A temporary 10% global tariff on imports from all countries takes effect 12:01 a.m. ET, Feb 24, 2026, under Section 122. This surcharge may remain in place for up to 150 days unless extended by law. President and trade authorities have signaled possible consideration of increasing this rate (e.g., discussion of 15% level) though current official collection remains at 10%. In-Transit Exception: Goods already in transit before the tariff switch and cleared by Feb 28 may be exempt. Other Duties Still Apply: Tariffs under Section 232 (e.g., steel, aluminum) and Section 301 (e.g., past China tariffs) remain in effect and are not affected by the IEEPA change. As always, Freemen Nutra is here to keep you updated and for support.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that broad tariffs cannot be imposed under emergency powers without clear congressional approval. In short: tariffs are considered a form of taxation and require explicit authorization from Congress. What this means for our industry: • Some recently imposed emergency tariffs may now be legally invalid • Over $130B in collected duties could become eligible for refund claims, depending on next steps • Refund processes and enforcement guidance are still unclear • Implementation by U.S. Customs will take time, so impacts will be gradual This ruling does not eliminate tariffs. Duties under other authorities, including Sections 301 and 232, remain in place and new investigations may shift tariffs under different frameworks. At Freemen Nutra, we are closely monitoring developments and supporting our partners through this evolving landscape. #Supplychain #Tariffs #GlobalSupplyChain #Foodindustry #Dietarysupplements
