Cement and fuel both hit their highest levels since January 2025 in July
Two products set the pace in July 2026, each at its highest monthly level since January 2025. Portland cement (HS 2523) rose 85.2% from June to 174,155 tonnes, and refined fuels (HS 2710) rose 114.6% to 100,703 tonnes. Cement alone made up 38.4% of the month's weight and fuel 22.2%.
Total ocean imports reached 453,118 tonnes, a sharp increase of 28.4% from June and 24.8% above July 2025. The number of importers rose to 2,946, from 2,248 in June.
Rice moved the other way. Arrivals of rice (HS 1006) fell 56.4% to 23,861 tonnes, the lowest monthly level since January 2025. Wheat (HS 1001) declined 42.9% to 7,550 tonnes.
The Vietnam lane reappeared at scale. Cargo laded in Vietnam reached 103,380 tonnes, the highest since January 2025, almost all of it on the Haiphong to Port-au-Prince route. Port-au-Prince's share of the month's weight returned to 70.0%, and Istanbul to Saint-Louis-du-Sud carried 28,152 tonnes.
Seven months in, imports totalled 2.77 million tonnes, 9.2% more than in the same period of 2025.
What the data shows: July combined the largest cement and fuel volumes since January 2025 with the smallest rice volume in that window. The data does not show why rice is lagging, and the coming months will show whether it recovers.

Methodology
Haiti import manifests (ocean bills of lading) via CargoFax. Haiti records are bills of lading with the vessel, containers, ports, and gross weight of each shipment; this report measures weight in tonnes and the number of records. Categories follow the Harmonized System. Records are customs line items; importers are distinct importers with a record in the month. The latest month may be revised as late records arrive. The period table leaves out a comparison that reaches before January 2025, when the series starts, or that includes a month not used as a base. Year to date is compared with the same months a year earlier. Records are ocean bills of lading for goods arriving in Haiti; one record is one shipment. Countries are where the goods were loaded (country of lading), not necessarily where they were made. Codes 9990 to 9994 are CargoFax categories for cargo that fits no HS heading: unclassified cargo, used goods and personal effects, mixed cargo, donations and relief goods, and hazardous goods. Air and land imports are not covered. Carriers and routes are as recorded on the bills of lading.
