Airplanes are carrying less cargo to the U.S., in large part because importers have paused shipments of e-commerce packages and other goods to avoid hefty tariffs on goods made in China. Air cargo to the U.S. is down about 20% or 30% from a year ago, freight forwarders and customs brokers estimate. Planes typically carry higher-value, more time-sensitive goods than container ships, whose sailings also have plunged.
