US container imports dip
Nov 14, 2025
US imports of containerised goods fell 7.5% year-over-year in October 2025, as shipments from China plunged 16.3% amid importer caution over President Donald Trump’s evolving tariff policies, according to supply chain technology provider Descartes. US seaports handled a total of 2.3 million TEUs last month, down 0.1% from September and below the 2.4 million to 2.6 million TEU range that typically signals peak trade activity, marking only the second October in the past decade to record a month-over-month decline.
