U.S. Vessel Imports in May Increased for the Second Consecutive Month and Are the Highest Since Last August
(firmenpresse) - MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 06/11/13 -- Zepol Corporation, , reports that U.S. import shipment volume for May, measured in TEUs, increased by 3% compared to April, but decreased 2.2% compared to May of last year. The second-consecutive increase comes after a 23% rise in imports for April. The number of bills of lading, or total shipments, filed with U.S. Customs totaled 786 thousand in May, up 2.5% from April.
"For the first two months of the year imports were up 7% over 2012, but in the last five months imports are only up 0.04% overall," says Zepol's CEO Paul Rasmussen. "With holiday orders being placed soon, we'll likely see increased imports in the coming months."
Inbound TEUs from Brazil, Netherlands, and Chile each saw increases of over 10% from April. Other noteworthy increases came from China (6%), Germany (9%), and Taiwan (7.5%). Conversely, many countries in the Southeast Asia region, such as Thailand and Indonesia, saw decreases in exports to the United States. (
