So when the war started and oil prices rose, ocean carriers started passing on those costs.
That's Judah Levine, head of research at Freidos.
Then, in May, rates spiked.
Levine says that's partly because a lot of importers loaded up on goods ahead of schedule, because they're worried that ocean carriers and overseas manufacturers will jack up prices even more.
Another reason is that importers are worried about tariffs.
In about a month, the Trump administration will be able to replace its current 10% tariffs with a new set of import taxes that could go much higher.
Rachel Brewster is a professor at Duke Law School.
Importers also want to take advantage of strong consumer spending.
Zach Rogers is a professor of supply chain management at Colorado State University.
As a result, he says that's increasing demand for all kinds of transportation, pushing up the price of shipping by truck, for instance.

I'm Justin Ho for Marketplace.
Those tariffs did push additional price pressures in the economy, particularly for the price of goods.
Tim Dewey is chief U.S.
economist at SGH Macro Advisors.
He says later last year, core inflation started to hit services, too.
Dewey says the delay could be because tariffs took a little time to impact other costs.
But it could also be because demand was strong, thanks to a good jobs market.
The war in the Middle East is boosting core inflation, too.
