Outbound containers exported to the U.S. from 10 major countries and regions in Asia in September (based on shipments that mother vessels are loaded with at ports of origin) decreased 0.5% to 1,441,130 TEUs, incurring the first year-on-year decline in three months, according to American research company Descartes Datamyne. In the first nine months (January-September), in contrast, they increased a minute 0.6% from a year earlier to 12,336,367 TEUs.

Looking at September exports by origin, those from China waned 4.3% to 881,529 TEUs, suffering a year-on-year contraction for eight months in a row, but managed to hold the largest share of the pie, Descartes Datamyne said, referring Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and bill-of-lading (B/L) data provided by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB). Ranked second were containers from South Korea, which plunged 11.8% to 137,130 TEUs, registering the first year-on-year decrease in 19 months. Finishing in third place, those from Vietnam ballooned 38.2% to 100,456 TEUs, growing from a year earlier for 10 months in a row. Exports from Taiwan came in fourth place, improving 11.6% to 76,492 TEUs and enjoying a year-on-year rise for the seventh consecutive month.

Containers from Japan, which finished in eighth place, fell 6.5% to 34,464 TEUs, marking a year-on-year decrease for 10 straight months. Including those transshipped, they totaled 47,178 TEUs, up 3.8%, making the first year-on-year increase in two months.
