摘要：	WHILE U.S.-BOUND RETAIL CONTAINER IMPORTS are not expected to see the same elevated growth rates in 2022 that were a key theme of 2021, modest growth and a still-high level of volume remain in the forecast through the first half of 2022, according to the most recent edition of the "Port Tracker Report" issued last month by the National Retail Federation (NRF) and maritime consultancy Hackett Associates. "We're not going to see the dramatic growth in imports we saw this time last year, but the fact that volumes aren't falling is a clear sign of continued consumer demand," said Jonathan Gold vice president for supply chain and Customs policy at the NRF. "Last year set a new bar for imports, and the numbers remain high as consumers continue to spend despite COVID-19 and inflation. The slowdown in cargo growth will be welcome as the supply chain continues to try to adapt to these elevated volumes." For December, the most recent month for which data is available, import volume-at 2.09 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units)-was off 1.2% compared to November and was down 1% annually. May 2021 remains the all-time highest-volume month, at 2.33 million TEU.
