"Massive Trade Freeze" Emerges: Orders Plunge 64%

The U.S. maritime trade faces abrupt disruption due to a "tariff storm" initiated by the Trump administration. According to freight data firm Vizion, import orders—after a Q1 surge—are now collapsing. Data comparing late March to early April 2025 reveals a 49% drop in container bookings and a 64% decline in total U.S. imports, attributed to shippers halting shipments amid policy uncertainty.

Tariff Chaos Rocks U.S. Maritime Trade

President Trump’s tariff policies have thrown U.S. shipping into turmoil. Vizion’s report, "Tariff Shockwaves," tracks a dramatic reversal: After peaking in early 2025, bookings fell 20% from January to March, though still 30% higher year-over-year—likely due to pre-tariff frontloading. By April, real-time bookings crashed, coinciding with U.S.-China tariff announcements.

Key Findings:

• Weekly collapse (March 31–April 6 vs. prior week):

• Apparel/accessories: -59%

• Textiles/fabrics: -57%

• Discretionary goods (art, gems, etc.): -50%+

• Chinese industrial imports hit hardest: Plastics, copper, and wood products—integral to manufacturing—face severe tariff pressure.

Agriculture Sector Sounds Alarm

U.S. farmers fear an export crisis. The CNN reports (via Global Times) warn that the U.S.-China tariff war could "devastate American farmers first." The Soybean Association chairman cautioned that prolonged tensions may trigger widespread bankruptcies.

Uncertainty Ahead

Vizion analysts note shippers’ "accelerate-then-freeze" behavior—rushing orders pre-tariff, then pausing mid-transit to reassess costs. With other U.S. trade partners’ tariffs in a 90-day freeze, 2025 may see continued volatility: demand shocks, erratic orders, and global supply chain recalibrations.
