Here are some numbers behind the overseas international moves:

Preferred Ports of Arrival for International Shipments

The busiest ports processing most of the incoming shipments are without surprise Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mind that these are not necessary the final destinations for the shipments.

• 2012 – 22,663
• 2013 (from January to March) – 9,474. The estimate for 2013 is 37,896
