U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
March 2003
Goods and Services
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the
Department of Commerce, announced today that total March exports of $82.8
billion and imports of $126.3 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit
of $43.5 billion, $3.1 billion more than the $40.4 billion in February,
revised.March exports were $0.5 billion more than February exports of $82.3
billion.March imports were $3.6 billion more than February imports of $122.7
billion.
In March, the goods deficit increased $2.8 billion from February to $47.1
billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.3 billion to $3.7 billion.
Exports of goods increased $0.7 billion to $58.1 billion, and imports of
goods increased $3.6 billion to $105.2 billion. Exports of services decreased
to $24.8 billion from $25.0 billion, and imports of services were virtually
unchanged at $21.1 billion.
Goods
The February to March change in exports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($0.4 billion); consumer goods ($0.4
billion);other goods ($0.2 billion); and automotive vehicles, parts, and
engines ($0.1billion). A decrease occurred in foods, feeds, and beverages
($0.2 billion). Capital goods were virtually unchanged.
The February to March change in imports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($2.5 billion); consumer goods ($0.4
billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.4 billion); other goods
($0.1 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). Capital goods
were virtually unchanged.
Services
Services exports decreased $0.2 billion from February to March. Decreases in
travel and passenger fares were partly offset by an increase in other private
services (which includes items such as business, professional, and technical
services, insurance services, and financial services). Changes in the other
categories of services exports were small.
Services imports were virtually unchanged from February to March. Increases in
other transportation (which includes freight and port services) and direct
defense expenditures were nearly offset by decreases in travel and passenger
fares. Changes in the other categories of services imports were small.
Goods and Services Moving Average
For the three months ending in March, exports of goods and services averaged
$82.4 billion, while imports of goods and services averaged $124.1 billion,
resulting in an average trade deficit of $41.7 billion. For the three months
ending in February, the average trade deficit was $42.2 billion, reflecting
average exports of $81.7 billion and average imports of $123.8 billion.
Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details
The March figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with Hong Kong $0.6
(for February $0.4), Australia $0.5 ($0.6), Singapore $0.3 ($0.3), and Egypt
$0.1($0.1). Deficits were recorded, in billions of dollars, with Western
Europe $7.8($6.6), China $7.7 ($7.6), Japan $5.8 ($5.3), Canada $5.2 ($4.3),
OPEC $5.0 ($3.4), Mexico $3.9 ($3.9), Taiwan $1.2 ($1.0), Korea $0.7 ($0.5),
and Brazil $0.6 ($0.5).
Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $16.0 billion in March and
imports were $16.8 billion, resulting in a deficit of $0.8 billion. March
exports were $2.3 billion more than the $13.7 billion in February, while
imports were $2.5 billion more than the $14.3 billion in February.
Revisions
Goods carry-over in March was $0.2 billion (0.3 percent) for exports and $0.9
billion (0.8 percent) for imports. For February, revised export carry-over was
$0.1 billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.3 billion (0.5 percent). For
February, revised import carry-over was $0.1 billion (0.1 percent), revised
down from $1.0 billion (1.1 percent).
Services exports for February were virtually unrevised at $25.0 billion.
Services imports for February were revised down $0.1 billion to $21.1 billion;
the revision was mostly accounted for by a downward revision in travel.

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
www.bea.gov/newsreleases/rels.htm.
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.
