Tariff Pressures and Seasonal Demand Push U.S. Container Imports Near Historic Highs
Containerized imports through U.S. gateways surged past 2.6 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in July, falling just shy of an all-time record set in 2022. The sharp increase was fueled by seasonal peak demand and heightened tariff-related frontloading.
According to industry data, volumes reached 2,621,910 TEUs — an 18.2% rise from June and a 2.6% increase over July last year. The growth was accompanied by only mild congestion, suggesting port infrastructure continues to handle elevated throughput effectively.
