Rubber Jumps to $2.9 billion

Rubber jumps 3.5% in August 2026 to $2.9 billion and down 2.8% from a year earlier. Import customs value combines transaction values, quantity, and product and origin mix, so this swing cannot be labeled demand, restocking, or tariff pull-forward without separate evidence.

• August 2026: $2.9 billion
• on the month: +3.5%
• on the year: -2.8%

The print sits 66% of the way up the archived range of $2.4 billion (February 2026) to $3.2 billion (April 2025), with the standing trend falling.

The year-over-year comparison is against August 2025, which printed $3.0 billion. Source: Census International Trade. The number above is the agency's published value, unrounded; the history and any later revisions stay queryable on the live data page.
