U.S. imports of containerized goods from China fell 28.3% year-on-year in June to 639,300 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), according to supply-chain technology firm Descartes. Overall U.S. container imports dipped 3.5% to 2.2 million TEUs, while China’s share of the total dropped to 28.8%, down from a peak of 40% in July 2024. The contraction deepens a slide that began in May after Washington imposed a 145% tariff on most Chinese goods. Importers have shifted sourcing to other markets: Descartes recorded gains in shipments from Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand, and U.S. International Trade Commission data show clothing imports from China fell to a 22-year low of $556 million in May as purchases from Mexico rose 12% year-on-year. Trade flows remain volatile as companies rush to bring in merchandise before further duties take effect. The White House this week postponed the next round of reciprocal tariffs to Aug. 1, while the current U.S.–China tariff truce is set to lapse on Aug. 10, leaving retailers and logistics providers braced for additional disruption.
