When U.S. monthly imports are surging year-over-year, import-reliant retailers tend to restock and may see firmer demand a quarter later, so the strategy leans long on the import surge and short on the pullback. This is an internal macro heuristic, not a published-paper result: the data only supports a single national-imports signal, not the per-category (apparel vs electronics vs toys) split the cohort labels suggest.
