                    U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
                                   December 2002

Goods and Services

The U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the
Department of Commerce, announced today that total December  exports of
$81.2 billion and imports of $125.4 billion resulted in a goods and
services deficit of $44.2 billion, $4.2 billion more than the $40.0
billion in November, revised.  December exports were $2.1 billion less
than November exports of $83.3 billion.  December imports were $2.1
billion more than November imports of $123.3 billion.

In December, the goods deficit increased $4.1 billion from November to
$48.4 billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.1 billion to $4.1
billion.  Exports of goods decreased $2.3 billion to $55.6 billion, and
imports of goods increased $1.8 billion to $103.9 billion.  Exports of
services increased to $25.6 billion from $25.5 billion, and imports of
services increased to $21.5 billion from $21.2 billion.

Goods

The November to December change in exports of goods reflected decreases
in capital goods ($2.2 billion); consumer goods ($0.3 billion); and other
goods ($0.1 billion).  Increases occurred in industrial supplies and
materials ($0.1 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion); and
automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.1 billion).

The November to December change in imports of goods reflected increases
in industrial supplies and materials ($0.7 billion); capital goods ($0.3
billion); other goods ($0.3 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and
engines ($0.3 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.2 billion);
and consumer goods ($0.1 billion).

Services

Services exports increased $0.1 billion from November to December.
Increases in travel and passenger fares were partly offset by a
decrease 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 increased $0.3 billion from November to December.
The increase was mostly accounted for by increases in travel and other
transportation (which includes freight and port expenditure services).
Changes in the other categories of services imports were small.


Goods and Services Moving Average

For the three months ending in December, exports of goods and services
averaged $82.2 billion, while imports of goods and services averaged
$122.1 billion, resulting in an average trade deficit of $39.8 billion.
For the three months ending in November, the average trade deficit was
$37.5 billion, reflecting average exports of $82.7 billion and average
imports of $120.2 billion.


Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details

The December figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with Australia
$0.7 (for November $0.5), Hong Kong $0.3 ($0.3), and Egypt $0.2 (virtually
zero).  Deficits were recorded, in billion of dollars, with Western Europe $9.6
($7.9), China $9.5 ($10.5), Japan $7.1 ($6.5), Canada $4.6 ($3.7), OPEC $3.2
($2.9), Mexico $2.8 ($2.9), Taiwan $1.3 ($1.3), Korea $1.1 ($1.6), Brazil $0.6
($0.2), Singapore $0.2 ($0.1), and Argentina $0.2 ($0.2).

Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $14.2 billion in December and
imports were $17.3 billion, resulting in a deficit of $3.0 billion.  December
exports were $0.4 billion less than the $14.7 billion in November, while
imports were $0.5 billion less than the $17.7 billion in November.


Revisions

Goods carry-over in December was $0.6 billion (1.1 percent) for exports and
$1.1 billion (1.1 percent) for imports.  For November, revised export
carry-over was $0.1 billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.6 billion
(1.0 percent).  For November, revised import carry-over was $0.4 billion
(0.4 percent), revised down from $1.2 billion (1.2 percent).

The seasonally adjusted goods data for January through November were also
revised to align the seasonally adjusted months with the annual totals.

Services exports for November were revised up $0.2 billion to $25.5 billion;
the revision was accounted for by upward revisions in travel and passenger
fares.  Services imports for November were revised up $0.2 billion to $21.2
billion; the revision was more than accounted for by upward revisions in
travel and passenger fares.

Annual Summary for 2002

Goods and Services

For 2002, exports of $973.0 billion and imports of $1,408.2 billion
resulted in a goods and services deficit of $435.2 billion, $76.9
billion more than the 2001 deficit of $358.3 billion.  For goods,
exports were $682.6 billion and imports were $1,166.9 billion,
resulting in a goods deficit of $484.4 billion, $57.2 billion more
than the 2001 deficit of $427.2 billion.  For services, exports were
$290.4 billion and imports were $241.3 billion, resulting in a services
surplus of $49.1 billion, $19.7 billion less than the 2001 surplus of
$68.9 billion.


Goods (Census Basis)

For 2002, exports of goods were down $35.6 billion from 2001.  Decreases
occurred in capital goods of $31.1 billion (primarily computer accessories,
telecommunications equipment, and semiconductors); consumer goods ($3.9
billion); industrial supplies and materials ($3.2 billion); and other
goods ($0.6 billion).  Increases occurred in automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines ($3.0 billion) and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion).

For 2002, imports of goods were up $22.6 billion from 2001.  Increases
occurred in consumer goods of $23.4 billion (primarily pharmaceutical
preparations, other household goods, TV's and VCR's, furniture, and cotton
apparel); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($14.1 billion); foods,
feeds, and beverages ($3.1 billion); and other goods ($0.9 billion).
Decreases occurred in capital goods ($14.1 billion) and industrial supplies
and materials ($4.8 billion).


Services

For 2002, exports of services were $290.4 billion, up $11.1 billion from
2001.  Increases occurred in other private services ($10.0 billion), which
includes items such as business, professional, and technical services,
insurance services, and financial services, and in royalties and license
fees ($4.5 billion).

Decreases occurred in travel ($2.5 billion); passenger fares ($0.6 billion);
and transfers under U.S. military sales contracts ($0.2 billion).  U.S.
Government miscellaneous services and other transportation, which includes
freight and port expenditure services, were virtually unchanged.

For 2002, imports of services were $241.3 billion, up $30.9 billion from
2001.  Increases occurred in other private services ($24.8 billion); direct
defense expenditures ($4.2 billion); and royalties and license fees ($4.0
billion).  A significant portion of the increase in imports of other private
services was accounted for by insurance services, which dropped sharply in
2001 as a consequence of large nonrecurring insurance claims received following
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (consistent with standard BEA
methodology, imports of insurance services are calculated as premiums paid to
foreigners for primary insurance and reinsurance, less claims received).
Decreases occurred in passenger fares ($1.4 billion); travel ($0.6 billion);
and other transportation ($0.2 billion).  U.S. Government miscellaneous
services were virtually unchanged.

services categories, see "Information on Goods and Services" starting on page

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.
