US imports of goods and services rose by $12.3 billion, or 3.6%, to $357.6 billion in December 2025, marking a second straight monthly increase and the highest level since July. Goods imports climbed by $10.2 billion to $280.2 billion, driven primarily by a $7.0 billion rise in industrial supplies and materials, including nonmonetary gold, copper, and crude oil. Capital goods imports also increased by $5.6 billion, supported by higher purchases of computer accessories and telecommunications equipment. In contrast, consumer goods imports fell by $3.5 billion, largely due to weaker demand for pharmaceutical preparations. Services imports rose by $2.0 billion to $77.4 billion, reflecting gains in transport and travel. For 2025 as a whole, total imports jumped by $197.8 billion to a record $4.33 trillion, as the rollout of US tariffs in the first half of the year prompted businesses and consumers to front-load purchases, pushing inbound shipments to an all-time high.
