In November 2025, the United States experienced a $16.8 billion increase in imports of goods and services, marking a 5.0% rise to a total of $348.9 billion. This growth comes as a partial recovery from the 21-month low of $332.1 billion recorded in October. The boost was entirely driven by goods imports, which surged by $16.8 billion, reaching $272.5 billion. The most significant contributions came from consumer goods, which rose by $9.2 billion, largely fueled by an increase in pharmaceutical imports. Additionally, imports of capital goods saw a rise of $7.4 billion, backed by a strong influx of computers and semiconductors. There was also a $1.9 billion increase in the imports of other goods. On the other hand, the import of industrial supplies and materials decreased by $2.4 billion. At the same time, services imports saw a slight decrease of $0.1 billion, bringing the total to $76.3 billion, primarily due to a decline in travel-related expenditures.
