U.S. CONTAINER IMPORTS HIT THIRD-HIGHEST LEVEL EVER
U.S. container imports reached 2.6 million TEUs in August, the third-highest monthly level on record, according to Descartes.
Volumes rose 3% year-over-year and 22% versus August 2019, signaling resilient consumer demand despite tariffs and inflation.
Shipping costs remain elevated, with Shanghai-New York rates more than doubling from last year amid Red Sea and Hormuz disruptions.
