We hope the restarted negotiations with China will result in significant reforms rather than more tariffs that tax American companies and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14045 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.miq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/NRF-10Jul2019-Chart-v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"666\" \/><\/p>\n<p>President Trump announced after meeting with China\u2019s President Xi Jinping last month that he would hold off on tariffs on an additional $300 billion in Chinese goods while negotiations between the two countries resume. Coupled with tariffs imposed over the past year, the new round would tax almost all goods the United States imports from China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImports of consumer goods continue to grow as importers purchase items in expectation of further increases in tariffs, the cost of which will be borne by the American consumer,\u201d Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett said.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 1.85 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units in May, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available. That was up 6 percent from April and up 1.4 percent year-over-year. A TEU is one 20-foot-long cargo container or its equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>June was estimated at 1.87 million TEU, up only 0.8 percent year-over-year. July is forecast at 1.93 million TEU, up 1.3 percent; August at 1.96 million TEU, up 3.4 percent; September at 1.89 million, up 1.1 percent; October at 1.94 million TEU, down 4.5 percent, and November at 1.88 million TEU, up 4.3 percent.<\/p>\n<p>The August number would equal the total seen last December just ahead of a scheduled January 1 tariff increase that was ultimately delayed until this spring and would be second only to the 2 million TEU record set last October. But the small year-over-year increases expected in the next few months compare with double-digit growth in multiple months last year as retailers rushed to import Chinese merchandise ahead of expected tariff increases.<\/p>\n<p>Imports during 2018 set a record of 21.8 million TEU, an increase of 6.2 percent over 2017\u2019s previous record of 20.5 million TEU. The first half of 2019 totaled an estimated 10.6 million TEU, up 2.8 percent over the first half of 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Click\u00a0<strong><a
