Rankings

Definition

US goods exports to the place minus US goods imports from it, in millions of US dollars, from the U.S. Census Bureau (total exports at free alongside ship value less general imports at customs value, Census basis, not seasonally adjusted). A negative value is a US trade deficit with the partner. Each month and each calendar year.

The place is the trading partner and the figures are US records; both inputs are stored with each value. Goods only. The balance of payments basis that BEA publishes adjusts these figures and differs from them.
