U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
April 2003
Goods and Services
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the
Department of Commerce, announced today that total April exports of $81.0
billion and imports of $123.0 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit
of $42.0 billion, compared to $42.9 billion in March, revised. April exports
were $1.8 billion less than March exports of $82.8 billion. April imports were
$2.7 billion less than March imports of $125.7 billion.
In April, the goods deficit decreased $0.9 billion from March to $46.6 billion,
and the services surplus was virtually unchanged at $4.6 billion. Exports of
goods decreased $1.1 billion to $57.2 billion, and imports of goods decreased
$2.0 billion to $103.8 billion. Exports of services decreased to $23.8 billion
from $24.5 billion, and imports of services decreased to $19.2 billion from
$19.9 billion.
In April, the goods and services deficit was up $7.8 billion from April 2002.
Exports were up $0.3 billion, or 0.4 percent, and imports were up $8.1 billion,
or 7.1 percent.
Goods
The March to April change in exports of goods reflected decreases in capital
goods ($0.6 billion); industrial supplies and materials ($0.2 billion); consumer
goods ($0.2 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). Other
goods and automotive vehicles, parts, and engines were virtually unchanged.
The March to April change in imports of goods reflected decreases in industrial
supplies and materials ($2.4 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines
($0.4 billion); and consumer goods ($0.2 billion). Increases occurred in capital
goods ($0.9 billion) and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). Other goods
were virtually unchanged.
The April 2002 to April 2003 change in exports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($1.2 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages
($0.3 billion); other goods ($0.1 billion); and consumer goods ($0.1 billion).
A decrease occurred in capital goods ($1.1 billion). Automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines were virtually unchanged.
The April 2002 to April 2003 change in imports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($3.5 billion); consumer goods ($2.8 billion);
foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.6 billion); and capital goods ($0.4 billion). A
decrease occurred in other goods ($0.1 billion). Automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines were virtually unchanged.
Services
Services exports decreased $0.8 billion from March to April. The decrease was
mostly accounted for by decreases in travel and passenger fares. Changes in
the other categories of services exports were small.
Services imports decreased $0.7 billion from March to April. The decrease was
more than accounted for by decreases in travel and passenger fares. Changes in
the other categories of services imports were small.
From April 2002 to April 2003, services exports were virtually unchanged at $23.8
billion. The largest decreases were in travel ($0.8 billion) and passenger fares
($0.3 billion). The largest increase was in other private services ($0.5 billion),
which includes items such as business, professional, and technical services,
insurance services, and financial services.
Services imports increased $1.0 billion during the same period. The largest
increases were in other private services ($0.6 billion); direct defense expenditures
($0.5 billion); and other transportation ($0.5 billion), which includes freight and
port services. The largest decrease was in travel ($0.7 billion).
Goods and Services Moving Average
For the three months ending in April, exports of goods and services averaged $82.3
billion, while imports of goods and services averaged $123.4 billion, resulting in
an average trade deficit of $41.2 billion. For the three months ending in March,
the average trade deficit was $40.5 billion, reflecting average exports of $82.6
billion and average imports of $123.2 billion.
Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details
The April figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with Hong Kong $0.4
(for March $0.6), Australia $0.4 ($0.5), and Egypt $0.1 ($0.1). Deficits were
recorded, in billions of dollars, with China $9.5 ($7.7), Western Europe $8.4
($7.8), Japan $6.0 ($5.8), OPEC $5.0 ($5.0), Canada $3.8 ($5.1), Mexico $3.3
($3.9), Taiwan $1.4 ($1.2), Korea $1.1 ($0.7), Brazil $0.6 ($0.6), and Singapore
$0.2 (surplus of $0.3).
Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $13.9 billion in April and imports
were $16.4 billion, resulting in a deficit of $2.6 billion. April exports were
$2.2 billion less than the $16.0 billion in March, while imports were $0.4 billion
less than the $16.8 billion in March.
Revisions
Goods carry-over in April was $0.4 billion (0.7 percent) for exports and $1.0
billion (1.0 percent) for imports. For March, revised export carry-over was
virtually zero, revised down from $0.2 billion (0.3 percent). For March, revised
import carry-over was $0.1 billion (0.1 percent), revised down from $0.9 billion
(0.8 percent).
Goods and services exports and imports for the month of March and for all months
shown in this release reflect the incorporation of annual revisions to the U.S.
international transactions accounts. See the "Notice" in this release for a
description of the major revisions to goods and services exports and imports.
NOTICE
In this release and the accompanying "U.S. International Trade in Goods and
Services: Annual Revision for 2002," the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) are jointly publishing revised data on U.S. trade in goods for
2000-2002 and the first three months of 2003 and revised data for services for
1992-2002 and the first three months of 2003.
Goods
The 2002 not seasonally adjusted Census-basis goods data were revised to
eliminate monthly data that arrived too late for inclusion in the month of
transaction but that were included, initially, in the month in which the data
were received. In addition, corrections were made to previously published data.
Once the redistributions of data to the proper month of transaction and corrections
were completed, factors for seasonal adjustments and trading day adjustments were
recomputed, and the seasonally adjusted current-dollar series were revised for
2000-2002 and the first three months of 2003.
With this release and the "U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services:
Annual Revision for 2002" release, the U.S. Census Bureau is replacing its
fixed-weighted constant-dollar series with a chained-dollar series. We are
adopting this methodology to improve the quality of the constant dollar series
and for consistency with other official government statistics of the Bureau of
Economic Analysis.
Services
The services estimates were revised for 1992-2002 and the first three months of
2003. The revisions resulted from the incorporation of results from BEA's annual
and quarterly surveys, from BEA's Benchmark Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
for 1999, and from other newly available and updated source data. Revisions from
these sources have an impact mostly on receipts and payments for royalties and
license fees and other private services for 1999-2002 and the first three months
of 2003.
In addition, a new measure of insurance services, which are a component of other
private services, is introduced for 1992-2002 and the first three months of 2003.
Previously, the estimate of insurance services equaled premiums minus losses.
A major shortcoming of this measure was that it fluctuated sharply due to
fluctuations in losses, and it could even become negative when losses were
exceptionally high. The new measure calculates insurance services as a share of
premiums. This amount is equal to premiums minus the portion of premiums attributed
to "normal" losses; "normal" losses are based on the relationship between losses
and premiums averaged over a period of years. The new measure eliminates the
sharp swings present in the old series whenever claims were unusually high or low,
and negative estimates of insurance services are now eliminated.

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.
