          U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
                          February 2003

Goods and Services

     The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the 
Department of Commerce, announced today that total February exports of $82.4 
billion and imports of $122.8 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit of
$40.3 billion, $0.9 billion less than the $41.2 billion in January, revised.  February 
exports were $0.4 billion more than January exports of $82.0 billion. February imports 
were $0.5 billion less than January
imports of $123.3 billion.

     In February, the goods deficit decreased $0.7 billion from January to $44.2 billion, 
and the services surplus increased $0.2 billion to $3.9 billion. Exports of goods increased 
$0.6 billion to $57.4 billion, and imports of goods decreased $0.1 billion to $101.6 
billion.  Exports of services decreased to $25.0 billion from $25.2 billion, and imports 
of services decreased to $21.1 billion from $21.5 billion.

Goods
     
     The January to February change in exports of goods reflected increases in capital 
goods ($1.1 billion); other goods ($0.1 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages
($0.1 billion).  Decreases occurred in consumer goods ($0.5 billion) and industrial 
supplies and materials ($0.1 billion).  Automotive vehicles, parts,and engines were 
virtually unchanged.

     The January to February change in imports of goods reflected decreases in capital 
goods ($1.0 billion) and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion).  Increases occurred 
in industrial supplies and materials ($0.8 billion) and consumer goods ($0.1 billion).  
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines and other goods were virtually unchanged.


Services
     
     Services exports decreased $0.2 billion from January to February.  Decreases in 
travel and passenger fares more than accounted for the decrease.  Changes in the other 
categories of services exports were small.

     Services imports decreased $0.4 billion from January to February.  Decreases in 
travel, other transportation (which includes freight and port expenditure services),
and passenger fares more than accounted for the decrease.  Changes in other categories 
of services imports were small.


Goods and Services Moving Average 

     For the three months ending in February, exports of goods and services averaged $81.7 
billion, while imports of goods and services averaged $123.8 billion, resulting in an 
average trade deficit of $42.1 billion. For the three months ending in January, the average
trade deficit was also $42.1 billion, reflecting average exports of $81.9 billion and 
average imports of $124.0 billion.

Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details 
     
     The February figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with Australia $0.6 
(for January $0.3), Hong Kong $0.4 ($0.1), Singapore $0.3 (deficit of $0.4), and Egypt 
$0.1 ($0.1).  Deficits were recorded, in billions of dollars, with China $7.6 ($9.4), 
Western Europe $6.6 ($7.0), Japan $5.3 ($5.2), Canada $4.3 ($4.9), Mexico $3.9 ($3.0),
OPEC $3.4 ($3.6), Taiwan $1.0 ($1.4), Brazil $0.5 ($0.6), Korea $0.5 ($1.1), and 
Argentina $0.1 ($0.1).

     Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $13.7 billion in February and 
imports were $14.3 billion, resulting in a deficit of $0.6 billion. February exports 
were $0.6 billion more than the $13.1 billion in January, while imports were $1.1
billion less than the $15.4 billion in January.

Revisions
     
     Goods carry-over in February was $0.3 billion (0.5 percent) for exports and $1.0 
billion (1.1 percent) for imports.  For January, revised export carry-over was $0.1 
billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.3 billion (0.5 percent).  For January,
revised import carry-over was $0.2 billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.9 billion 
(0.9 percent).

Services exports for January were revised up $0.1 billion to $25.2 billion; the revision 
was mostly accounted for by an upward revision in travel. Services imports for January were 
revised up $0.1 billion to $21.5 billion; the revision was mostly accounted for by upward 
revisions in travel and passenger fares.

on data sources and methodology, see the information section on page 26 of this
release, or at www.census.gov/foreign-trade/www/press.html or

NOTE:   The three-month moving averages shown in this exhibit are computed by
summing the subject month, the two prior months, dividing by three and showing
the average at the center month of the period.  Using this method, an average is
not available for the current month.  A centered moving average is useful in
smoothing the volatile trade data so that trends can better be discerned.
