US apparel imports from China fall furthest in September
The volume of US apparel imports fell for a second consecutive month in September as additional tariffs on clothing imports from China kicked in and the back-to-school season came to an end. Growth in shipment volumes from Cambodia surged during the month, while China booked the largest decline – a milestone that adds to the suggestion that US buyers are continuing to explore alternative sourcing options amid the ongoing trade war with the US.
