US imports by partner and product
Trade Shifts
What this shows
For each product, the pages show each partner’s share of US general imports, as 12-month totals, with China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Mexico and India highlighted, and US tariff actions marked with their official sources.
What it does not show. These are US-side figures: what the US Census Bureau records as imported into the US from each partner (general imports, by country of origin). A change in where the US buys a product shows a change in recorded origin. On its own it is not evidence that goods were transshipped or rerouted through another country, and it does not show where the goods were made.

Shares are 12-month totals of US general imports. “Largest gain” is the watchlist partner whose share rose most between 2017 and the latest 12 months. Changes are computed from unrounded shares, so they can differ by 0.1 from the difference of the rounded figures shown. Small charts share one scale and plot the 12 months ending each quarter. A missing month means Census published no figure for that partner and product. That usually reflects little or no recorded trade, but we don't assume zero, so the line shows a gap.
Partner-specific trade deals after August 2025 are not yet mapped in the event list.
