Good afternoon,

The January 2022 Import-Export report shows total imports down by 3.7% for the month compared to January 2021. While import volume was down for most countries, a handful of countries’ imports grew compared to 2021, including Mexico (7%), Germany (18%), Czech Republic (9%), and United Kingdom (44%). If we were to remove Mexican imports from the scope, total imported volume would by down by 30%. So while total imported volume was down, the downward trends would have been significantly more drastic if it were not for the growth of Mexican imported beer in January. 

Recall that two weeks ago we reported downward trends for domestic tax paid shipments as well, down 6.2% compared to January 2021. 

The next Import-Export Report will be released on:

• Tuesday, April 5, 2022 (Reporting for February 2022)

Please reach out with any questions.

Cheers,

Danelle Kosmal
