Imports dropping

Descartes Systems Group has released its June Global Shpping Report for logistics and supply chain professionals. In May 2025, US container import volumes dropped after several months of growth, falling 9.7 per cent from April and 7.2 per cent year-on-year. Imports from China declined by 20.8 per cent in April - the steepest monthly decline since March 2020 - and by 28.5 per cent compared to May 2024. Port dynamics also shifted in May, with US east and Gulf coast ports gaining market share over west coast ports that experienced the brunt of much lower China-origin volumes.
