Port of Portland officials are anxiously awaiting a decision that could give its auto import business a much-needed boost. Glovis America Inc., which imports Hyundai and Kia vehicles through Portland and Tacoma, may consolidate that work to a single port. The Port of Portland seems to have the least to lose and the most to gain from the situation. Hyundais represented 23 percent of the 240,683 autos imported last year through the Port of Portland, which also receives Toyota and Honda imports.
