| Long Beach hits record July volume in tariff pause |

The Port of Long Beach processed 944,232 TEU in July 2025, marking a seven per cent year-on-year increase and its busiest July ever, driven by a temporary pause in tariffs on imports.
Imports surged 7.6 per cent to 468,081 TEU, while exports dropped 12.9 per cent to 91,328 TEU. Empty container movements rose 12.3 per cent to 384,824 TEU. The port's CEO Mario Cordero attributed the spike to retailers receiving goods purchased at lower costs during the tariff pause earlier this year.
Despite the July peak, the port's Supply Chain Information Highway forecasts a 10 per cent decline in cargo volume in the second half of 2025 due to trade policy uncertainty, likely resulting in flat annual growth.
Long Beach Harbor Commission President Frank Colonna praised the efforts of terminal operators, truckers, and dockworkers for maintaining record-setting cargo movement. The port handled 5.69 million TEU in the first seven months of 2025, up 10 per cent from the same period last year.
