The latest report from logistics data provider Vizion reveals the dramatic impact of U.S. tariff policies on its own import market. According to the Tariff Influence Report, the volume of freight orders tied to U.S. Imports dropped sharply between April 1 and April 8.
Compared to the previous week (March 24–March 31), standard freight bookings fell by 49%, while the overall number of import orders plummeted by 64%.
While it is too early to definitively conclude that the tariffs are the sole cause of this sharp decline, the data clearly indicates a strong negative short-term effect on the U.S. import landscape.
The findings underscore growing concerns among supply chain professionals and global trade analysts about the unintended domestic consequences of protectionist trade measures.
