This summer, US retailers are setting off an import boom.Before the holiday shopping season, companies were preventing potential port workers' strikes and the continuous interruption of shipping caused by the Red Sea attack.
Related data show that in July, US container imports reached 2.6 million 20 -foot standard container units, which have recently recorded, an increase of 16.8%over the same period last year.Some experts point out that a large number of purchase orders from the United States are not the result of consumer expenditure. On the contrary, this is the peak season for shopping and delivery in order to prevent the strikes that may occur in the US port and avoid this year's Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Industry data show that the import volume and freight in the United States in July rose sharply, and the global shipping industry ushered in the peak season earlier than previous years.In July, US container imports hit the third monthly record, reaching 2.6 million 20 -foot standard container units, an increase of 16.8%over the same period last year. Part of the reason is that the import volume from China has reached a historical high.
The retail industry said that companies with import toys, home products and consumer electronics have launched holiday promotion in advance to attract customers who shop in advance each season."Retailers don't want to be caught off guard," said Jonathan Goldon, vice chairman of the National Retail Federation of the United States, said.
Xeneta's chief analyst Peter Sander said that many consignor has accelerated the orders of festival goods, and some consignors began to deliver Christmas products as early as May.
Some analysts said that important factors that caused this situation include the alert of the strikes that may initiate the strikes of port workers and the interruption of shipping caused by the intense political situation of the Red Sea.Reuters reports that after the negotiations between the International Wharf Workers Association and the American Maritime Alliance are in an impasse, retailers are worried that strikes may occur from the port from Maine to Texas this fall.
A few days ago, Maski also expressed concerns in the US market briefing."If the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast of the United States and the East Coast said, even if the work is stopped for a week, it may take 4 to 6 weeks to recover, and a large amount of backlogs and delays will intensify over time."
Due to the uncertainty of tariffs, some needs may be advanced before the US election in November.
