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.

INFORMATION ON GOODS AND SERVICES
GOODS
CENSUS BASIS
The Census basis goods data are compiled from the
documents collected by the U.S. Customs Service and reflect
the movement of goods between foreign countries and the 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin
Islands, and U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. They include
government and non-government shipments of goods, and
exclude shipments between the United States and its
territories and possessions, transactions with U.S. military,
diplomatic and consular installations abroad, U.S. goods
returned to the United States by its Armed Forces, personal
and household effects of travelers, and in-transit shipments.
The General Imports value reflects the total arrival of
merchandise from foreign countries that immediately enters
consumption channels, warehouses, or Foreign Trade Zones.
For imports, the value reported is the U.S. Customs Service
appraised value of merchandise; generally, the price paid for
merchandise for export to the United States. Import duties,
freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing
merchandise to the United States are excluded.
Exports are valued at the f.a.s.- free alongside ship value of
merchandise at the U.S. port of export, based on the
transaction price including inland freight, insurance and other
charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the
carrier at the U.S. port of exportation.
Monthly data include actual month's transactions as well as
a small number of transactions for previous months. Each
month we revise the aggregate seasonally adjusted (current
and constant dollar) and unadjusted export, import and trade
balance figures, as well as the end-use totals for the prior
month. SITC and country detail data are not revised monthly.
The timing adjustment shown in Exhibit 14 is the difference
between monthly data as originally reported and as
recompiled. Quarterly revisions are made to the chain-
weighted dollar series. In the last month of each quarter, the
current and previous quarter are revised to incorporate the
Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly revisions and align
Census and the Bureau of Economic Analysis's quarterly
data. Annual revisions for the months are made in June to
reflect corrections received subsequent to the monthly revision.
These revisions are reflected in totals, end-use, SITC and
country summary data. The monthly end-use, commodity, and country
and area data presented in this release are on a Census basis.
This refers to Exhibits 6 - 18.
U.S./CANADA DATA EXCHANGE
AND SUBSTITUTION
The data for U.S. exports to Canada are derived from import
data compiled by Canada. The use of Canada's import data to
produce U.S. export data requires several alignments in order
to compare the two series.
1. Coverage -- Canadian imports are based on country of
origin. U.S. goods shipped from a third country are
included. U.S. exports exclude these foreign shipments.
For April 2003, these shipments totaled $68.2 million.
U.S. export coverage also excludes certain Canadian postal
shipments. For April 2003, these shipments totaled $11.3
million.
2. Valuation -- Canadian imports are valued at point of origin
in the United States. However, U.S. exports are valued at
the port of exit in the United States and include inland
freight charges, making the U.S. export value slightly
larger. Canada requires inland freight to be reported.
Inland freight charges for April 2003 account for 1.8
percent of the value of U.S. exports to Canada.
3. Reexports -- U.S. exports include reexports of foreign
goods. Again, the aggregate U.S. export figure is slightly
larger. For April 2003, reexports to Canada were
$1,7287 million.
4. Exchange Rate -- Average monthly exchange rates are
applied to convert the published data to U.S. currency. For
April 2003, the average exchange rate was 1.4582
Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar.
5. Other -- There are other minor differences which are
statistically insignificant, such as rounding error.
Canadian Estimates
Effective with January 2001 statistics, the current month data
for exports to Canada contain an estimate for late arrivals and
corrections. The following month, this estimate will be
replaced, in the press release tables only, with the actual value
of late receipts and corrections. This estimate will improve
the current month data for exports to Canada and treat late
receipts for exports to Canada in a manner more consistent
with the treatment of late receipts for exports to other
countries.
Nonsampling errors
The goods data are a complete enumeration of documents
collected by the U.S. Customs Service and are not subject to
sampling errors; but they are subject to several types of
nonsampling errors. Quality assurance procedures are
performed at every stage of collection, processing and
tabulation; however the data are still subject to several types
of nonsampling errors. The most significant of these
include reporting errors, undocumented shipments,
timeliness, data capture errors, and errors in the estimation
of low-valued transactions:
Reporting Errors: Reporting errors are mistakes or
omissions made by importers, exporters or their agents in
their import or export declarations. Most errors involve
missing or invalid commodity classification codes and
missing or incorrect quantities or shipping weights. They
have a negligible effect on import, export and balance of
trade statistics. However, they can affect the detailed
commodity statistics.
Undocumented Shipments: Federal regulations require
importers, exporters or their agents to report all merchandise
shipments above established exemption levels.
The U.S. Census Bureau has determined that not all required
documents are filed, particularly for exports.
Timeliness and Data Capture Errors: The U.S. Census
Bureau captures import and export information from
administrative documents and through various automated
collection programs. Documents may be lost, data may be
incorrectly keyed, coded or recorded. Transactions may be
included in a subsequent month's statistics if received late.
Low-valued Transactions: The total values of transactions
valued as much as or below $2,500 for exports and $2,000
($250 for certain quota items) for imports are estimated for
each country, using factors based on the ratios of low-valued
shipments to individual country totals for past periods.
The U.S. Census Bureau recommends that data users
incorporate this information into their analyses, as
nonsampling errors could impact the conclusion drawn from
the results. For a detailed discussion of errors affecting the
goods data, see "U.S. Merchandise Trade Statistics:
A Quality Profile" available on the INTERNET at

Adjustments for Seasonal and Working-Day Variations
Goods are initially classified under the Harmonized System
(HS) which describes and measures the characteristics of
goods traded. Combining trade into approximately 140
export and 140 import end-use categories makes it possible
to examine goods according to their principal uses (See
Exhibits 7 and 8). These categories are used as the basis for
computing the seasonal and working-day adjusted data.
These adjusted data are then summed to the six end-use
aggregates for publication (Exhibit 6). These data are
provided to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, from the U.S.
Census Bureau, for use in the Balance of Payments and the
National Income and Product Accounts.
The seasonal adjustment procedure is based on a model that
estimates the monthly movements as percentages above or
below the general level of each end-use commodity series
(unlike other methods that redistribute the actual series values
over the calendar year). Imports of petroleum and petroleum
products are adjusted for the length of the month. Because of
the extremely variable movements of the data series for
aircraft, users studying data trends may wish to analyze
aircraft separately from other trade.
Adjustments for Price Change
Data adjusted for seasonal variation on a real dollar basis
(2000 base year) are presented in Exhibits 10 and 11. This
adjustment for price change is done using the Fisher chain-
weighted methodology. The deflators are primarily based
upon the monthly price indexes published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics using techniques developed for the National
Income and Product Accounts by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis.
SITC Data
Goods data appearing in Exhibit 15 are classified in terms of
the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC)
Revision 3. Agricultural goods consist of non-marine food
products and other products of agriculture which have not
passed through complex processes of manufacture, such as
raw hides and skins, fats and oils, and wine. A few goods
such as essential oils, starches, casein, and albumin,
considered to be agricultural by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, have been excluded from agricultural goods and
are included in manufactured goods where they are classified
in the SITC.
Manufactured goods conform to the SITC sections that
include chemicals and related products, N.S.P.F.;
manufactured goods classified chiefly by material; machinery
and transport equipment; miscellaneous manufactured
articles, N.S.P.F.; and goods and transactions not classified
elsewhere.
Reexports are foreign merchandise entering the country as
imports, and at the time of exportation are in substantially the
same condition as when imported. Reexports, included in
overall export totals, appear as separate line items in Exhibit
15.
Advanced Technology Products (ATP)
About 500 of some 22,000 commodity classification codes
used in reporting U.S. merchandise trade are identified as
"advanced technology" codes and they meet the following
criteria:
1. The code contains products whose technology is from a
recognized high technology field (e.g., biotechnology).
2. These products represent leading edge technology in that
field.
3. Such products constitute a significant part of all items
covered in the selected classification code.
The aggregation of the goods results in a measure of advanced
technology trade which appears in Exhibit 16. This product
and commodity-based measure of advanced technology differs
from broader NAICS industry-based measures which include
all goods produced by a particular industry group, regardless
of the level of technology embodied in the goods.
BALANCE OF PAYMENTS (BOP) BASIS
Goods on a Census basis are adjusted by the Bureau of
Economic Analysis to goods on a BOP basis to bring the data
in line with the concepts and definitions used to prepare the
international and national accounts. Broadly, the adjustments
include changes in ownership that occur without goods passing
into or out of the customs territory of the United States. These
adjustments are necessary to supplement coverage of the
Census basis data, to eliminate duplication of transactions
recorded elsewhere in the international accounts, and to value
transactions according to a standard definition.
The export adjustments include:
U.S. military sales contracts - This deduction of U.S.
military sales contracts is made because the U.S. Census
Bureau has included these contracts in the goods data, but
BEA includes them in the service category "Transfers Under
U.S. Military Sales Contracts." BEA's source material for
these contracts is more comprehensive, but has no distinction
between goods and services.
Private gift parcels. This addition is made for parcels
mailed to foreigners by individuals through the U.S. Postal
Service. (Only commercial shipments are covered in Census
goods exports.)
Gold exports, nonmonetary. This addition is made for
gold that is purchased by foreign official agencies from
private
dealers in the United States and held at the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. The Census data only include gold that
leaves the customs territory.
Some smaller adjustments are also made to exports:
Deductions for repairs of goods, developed motion picture
film, and military grant-aid. Additions for sales of fish in
U.S. territorial waters, exports of electricity to Mexico, and
vessels and oil rigs that change ownership for which no
export document is filed.
The import adjustments include:
Inland freight in Canada. An addition is made for inland
freight in Canada. Imports of goods from all countries are
valued at the foreign port of export, including inland freight
charges ("customs value"). In the case of Canada, this
should be the cost of the goods at the U.S. border.
However, the customs value for imports for certain
Canadian goods is the point of origin in Canada. The BEA
makes an addition for the inland freight charges of
transporting these Canadian goods to the U.S. border to
make the value comparable to the customs value as reported
by all other countries. Insurance and freight charges for
transporting goods to the United States from all other
countries to the U.S. border are included in services by the
BEA. (The same procedure is used for Mexico as an Other
Adjustment, but is much smaller.)
Gold imports, nonmonetary. This addition is made for
gold sold by foreign official agencies to private purchasers
out of stock held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York. The Census data only include gold that enters the
customs territory.
Imports by U.S. military agencies. This deduction of U.S.
military sales contracts is made because the U.S. Census
Bureau has included these contracts in the goods data, but
BEA includes them in the service category "Direct Defense
Expenditures". BEA's source material is more
comprehensive, but has no distinction between goods and
services.
Some smaller adjustments are also made to imports:
Deductions for repairs of goods, and developed motion
picture film. Additions for imported electricity from
Mexico, conversion of vessels for commercial use, and
repairs to U.S. vessels abroad, and valuation of
prepackaged software imports at market value.
SERVICES
The statistics are estimates of services transactions between
foreign countries and the 50 states, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories
and possessions. Transactions with U.S. military, diplomatic,
and consular installations abroad are excluded because they
are considered to be part of the U.S. economy.
Services are shown in seven broad categories. Types of
services for imports and exports are the same for six of the
seven categories. For the seventh, exports is "Transfers Under
U.S. Military Sales Contracts" while for imports the category
is "Direct Defense Expenditures". The following is a brief
description of the types of services included in each category:
Travel - Purchases of services and goods by U.S. travelers
abroad and by foreign visitors to the United States. A
traveler is defined as a person who stays for a period of less
than 1 year in a country of which the person is not a
resident.
Includes expenditures for food, lodging, recreation, gifts, and
other items incidental to a foreign visit.
Passenger Fares - Fares paid by residents of one country
to residents of other countries. Receipts consist of fares
received by U.S. carriers from foreign residents for travel
between the United States and foreign countries and
between two foreign points.
Payments consist of fares paid by U.S. residents to foreign
carriers for travel between the United States and foreign
countries.
Other Transportation - Charges for the transportation of
goods by ocean, air, waterway, pipeline, and rail carriers to
and from the United States. Includes freight charges,
operating expenses that transportation companies incur in
foreign ports, and payments for vessel charter and aircraft
rentals with crew.
Royalties and License Fees - Transactions with foreign
residents involving intangible assets and proprietary rights,
such as the use of patents, techniques, processes, formulas,
designs, know-how, trademarks, copyrights, franchises,
and manufacturing rights. The term "royalties" generally
refers to payments for the utilization of copyrights or
trademarks, and the term "license fees" generally refers to
payments for the use of patents or industrial processes.
Other Private Services - Transactions with affiliated
foreigners, for which no identification by type is available,
and of transactions with unaffiliated foreigners. (The term
"affiliated" refers to a direct investment relationship, which
exists when a U.S. person has ownership or control,
directly or indirectly, of 10 percent or more of a foreign
business enterprise's voting securities or the
equivalent, or
when a foreign person has a similar interest in a U.S.
enterprise.) Transactions with unaffiliated foreigners consist
of education services; financial services (includes
commissions and other transactions fees associated with
the purchase and sale of securities and noninterest income
of banks, and excludes investment income); insurance
premiums and losses; telecommunications services (includes
transmission services and value-added services); and
business, professional, and technical services. Included in the
last group are advertising services; computer and data
processing services; database and other information services;
research, development, and testing services; management,
consulting, and public relations services; legal services;
construction, engineering, architectural, and mining services;
industrial engineering services; installation, maintenance,
repair of equipment; and other services, including medical
services and film and tape rentals.
Transfers Under U.S. Military Sales Contracts (Exports
only) - Exports of goods and services in which U.S.
Government military agencies participate. Includes both
goods, such as equipment, and services, such as repair
services and training, that cannot be separately identified.
Direct Defense Expenditures (Imports only) -
Expenditures incurred by U.S. military agencies abroad,
including expenditures by U.S. personnel, payments of
wages to foreign residents, construction expenditures,
payments for foreign contractual services, and
procurement of foreign goods. Includes both goods and
services that cannot be separately identified.
U.S. Government Miscellaneous Services - Transactions
of U.S. Government nonmilitary agencies with foreign
residents. Most of these transactions involve the
provision of services to, or purchases of services from,
foreigners; transfers of some goods are also included.
Services estimates are based on quarterly, annual, and
benchmark surveys and partial information generated from
monthly reports. Service transactions are estimated at market
prices. Estimates are seasonally adjusted when statistically
significant seasonal patterns are present. No country or area
detail is available due to the lack of adequate source data
upon which to base estimates.
The revision policy is as follows: Each month, a
preliminary estimate for the current month and a revised
estimate for the immediately preceding month are
released. After a revised month is released, no further
changes are made to that month until more complete
source data become available in March, June, September,
and December. The releases in March, June, September,
and December contain revised data for the previous six
months. The release in March also contains revisions for all months
of the previous year in order to align the seasonally adjusted
monthly data with annual totals. The release in June contains
annual revisions, which reflect updated source data and
changes in estimating methodologies. Quarterly and annual
estimates of services are included as part of the U.S.
international transactions accounts, published in the
April, July, October, and January issues of the Survey of
Current Business. The next release of the U.S. international
transactions accounts is scheduled for June 19, 2003. The
Survey is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
