Frontloading of cargo resulted in an increase in US imports by air in April and May as companies looked to get ahead of the imposition of tariffs.
Figures from consultant Aevean show that total air imports into the US were up by 8% year on year, or 67,000 tonnes, during the two months.
The figures also revealed a shift away from China, with volumes from the country declining by 20% year on year (or 35,000 tonnes). Laptop and electronics volumes were some of the biggest losers from China during the period.
