Import Profile
Connecticut importers are concentrated in aerospace components, precision instruments, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods. Proximity to New York ports makes the state a major indirect importer through the NY/NJ port complex.
IEEPA Analysis
Connecticut's aerospace supply chain — including Pratt & Whitney and Sikorsky suppliers — faces significant IEEPA tariff exposure on imported components and raw materials. Many manufacturers have not audited their exposure.
