Export trade hurt by British blockade on Sweden
American exporters faced declining Sweden trade as British naval blockades and a Swedish war trade net restricted guarantees to Britain. Imports from the United States rose sharply in 1915 but collapsed in early 1916, with February and March showing drastic drops while Sweden tightened controls on figures during the war. England argued rising US imports indicated shipments to Germany or substitution of Swedish goods, prompting tighter supervision of Atlantic cargoes.
