Monthly North America gateway import pressure: loaded import TEU for the Port of Los Angeles (USA) and the Port of Vancouver (CAN), 2019-01 -> each port's latest published month, with deterministic derived features — MoM %/YoY %/3-month-annualized import change, trailing-5-year same-month seasonal baseline and deviation from it, a documented 0-100 import_pressure_score = 100*(0.45*mm(YoY) + 0.35*mm(vs_seasonal) + 0.20*mm(3m_ann)) with min-maxed clipped inputs, fixed-cut pressure_tier (surge/elevated/moderate/soft/slack), and a frontload_flag for June-August months running >10% above seasonal baseline. Keyless official port statistics (POLA container-statistics pages; Vancouver Fraser Port Authority container statistics report). One row per year_month x gateway; join keys: date, gateway_code, country_code.
