  • Large US importers with ‘globally famous brands’ have temporarily halted orders from China, reports Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka
  • March import volumes were strong due to frontloading, while cargo already in transit will support April volumes, but the numbers will begin to fall in May
  • Around 40% of US containerised imports are from China; these cargoes now face an unprecedented tariff of 145%
