An article from [the JOC](https://www.joc.com/port-news/us-ports/record-us-imports-asia-accelerate-even-further-march_20210416.html) shows that U.S. imports from Asia continued to climb in March. In fact, March was the second-busiest month on record, with imports jumping 22% from February and a whopping 90.5% compared to last March.

Ultra-high import volumes are expected to be with us for a while. The current hope is that backups at the ports will subside this summer prior to peak season.
