Import Profile
The Port of Savannah has grown into the dominant Southeast U.S. entry point, handling more containers than any single terminal in the country. Atlanta serves as the Southeast's logistics and air cargo hub. Automotive, consumer goods, and industrial imports are the primary categories.
IEEPA Analysis
Georgia's automotive manufacturing base — including Kia, Rivian, and hundreds of suppliers — imports significant volumes of components and raw materials subject to IEEPA tariffs. The port's growth means more unliquidated entries and more protest opportunities.
