The Supreme Court\u2019s decision on President Donald Trump\u2019s sweeping tariffs may drive up cargo volume, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Eugene Seroka said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf that effective tariff rate for some companies and importers is lower, we may see some cargo really shoot through the system pretty quickly,\u201d he said in a Bloomberg Television interview. <\/p>\n

While import patterns<\/a> have fluctuated based on trade policy announcements, exports have consistently suffered, with shipments to China dramatically reduced. The head of the nation\u2019s busiest container gateway cited an 80% drop in soybean shipments from his port, adding that exports have declined in nine of the past 13 months.  <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s new 10% global tariffs<\/a> went into effect Feb. 24, kicking off an effort to preserve his trade agenda after the court decision. The White House is working on a formal order that will increase the global tariff rate to 15%, according to an administration official.  <\/p>\n
