Retailers in the U.S. expect a continuous decline in import cargo volumes through the end of 2025, following a summer peak, mainly due to rising tariffs and global trade uncertainties. Major U.S. container ports reported notable volume shifts, with a projected drop in monthly imports over the coming months. The National Retail Federation highlights that while retailers stocked up before tariff increases, the ongoing trade policy challenges are complicating long-term business planning, ultimately threatening higher prices for consumers.
