In 2025, import trends were shaped by the rollout of new US tariffs, which altered global trade dynamics. However, the complete impact of these measures may not be immediately visible in the data, as advance purchasing, customs processing delays, shipping disruptions and supply-chain realignments can temporarily affect reported flows. US imports climbed to a record level of just over $4.3 trillion in 2025.
