U.S. Retailers Fast-Track China Goods Amid Tariff Pause
U.S. retailers are rushing to front-load imports from China as a 90-day pause in the tariff battle slashes duties from 145% to 30%, sparking a surge at American ports. The National Retail Federation's data shows importers scrambling to restock for back-to-school and holiday seasons, with June volumes rebounding to 2.01 million TEUs after a sharp May dip. But the spike is likely short-lived: without further tariff relief, imports could plunge over 20% this fall. While the first half of 2025 shows a modest 3.7% YoY gain, retailers remain cautious, viewing this China-driven rebound as a temporary break in an uncertain trade landscape. (Freight Waves)
