Since the new customs tariff this week, it presses international trade, is expected to finish initially from the country’s main container ports 2025 5.6 % less than the size of 2024, according to the Global Port Tracker report today by the National Retamentation Federation (NRF) and Hackett Associats.
“Although these expectations are still preliminary, it shows the impact of the definitions and commercial policy of the administration on the supply chain,” said the Vice President of NRF for the supply and customs policy series in a statement. “The definitions have started to increase the prices of consumer, and it will eventually mean a number of imports in the end.
According to gold, small companies are particularly wrestling with the ability to stay at work. He said: “We need binding commercial agreements that open the markets by reducing the customs tariff and raising them. The definitions are the taxes that American importers pay that will lead to high prices of consumers in the United States, less employment, low investment in business, and the slow economy.”
The report said that these expectations come with a tariff for dozens of countries around the world that were announced and postponed, and then they were finally enact after months of negotiations and deals this week.
“The approach to the impressive that has nothing to do with commercial policy is to cause confusion and uncertainty for importers, exporters and consumers,” said Ben Hackket, the founder of the Associated Hackett. “All friends, allies and enemies are hit by distortions in commercial flows where the importers try to try the second tariff levels by obtaining imports forward before the definitions are in effect. This, in turn, will definitely lead to a decline in trade sizes by late September because the stocks for the holiday season will be already at hand.
Global Port Tracker’s American outlets dealt with 1.96 million equivalent units for twenty feet (TEU) in June, the last month in which final data is available. This increased by 0.7 % from May, but decreased by 8.4 % on an annual basis.
The ports did not report numbers after July, but the month is expected to have risen to 2.3 million warships, as retailers brought goods before the definitions of this month. This will be the highest in the year, an increase of 17.3 % from June and only 0.5 % reduced on an annual basis.
The total of the first half of 2025 was 12.53 million eclipse units, an increase of 3.6 % on an annual basis. The size of the size of the rest of the year will reach 2025 to a total of 24.1 million naval stones, a decrease of 5.6 % from 25.5 million marine containers in 2024.
