Monthly Trade Statistics
In August 2023, CBP processed more than 2.8 million entry summaries valued at $281 billion, identifying estimated duties of nearly $7.1 billion to be collected by the U.S. government. Trade via the maritime environment accounted for 43 percent of the total import value, followed by air, truck, and rail. CBP identified 320 entries valued at more than $68 million for further examination based on the suspected use of forced labor, and which may be subject to a Withhold Release Order, Forced Labor Finding, or the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act’s rebuttable presumption prohibiting importation into the United States.
CBP seized over 1,700 shipments that contained counterfeit goods valued at more than $177 million had they been genuine.
