Abstract

This FAL Bulletin examines the key trends in transport costs for imports into the United States from the Caribbean, Latin America and other regions and countries. To do so, this Bulletin draws on the extensive database of the United States Bureau of the Census, using data for 2000–2021 to analyse costs by mode of transport: sea, air and land.
