          U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES

                     Annual Revision for 2001




                             NOTICE

In this release, the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) are jointly publishing revised data on U.S. trade
in goods for 1999-2001 and revised data for services for 1998-2001.
The data for 2000-2001 in this release are also reflected in today's
joint release of "U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services: April
2002," and in today's BEA release of "U.S. International Transactions:
First Quarter 2002."  AdditionaL information on other U.S.
international transactions is available in the BEA release and on
BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov.


Goods

The 2001 unadjusted Census-basis goods data were revised to eliminate
"carry-over" (that portion of the monthly statistics that arrives
too late for inclusion in the transaction month) and to include errata
(corrections to the published monthly data).  Once these corrections
were completed, factors for seasonal adjustments and trading-day
adjustments were recomputed, and the seasonally adjusted current-dollar
series were revised for 1999-2001 and the first quarter of 2002.
Similar changes were made to the constant-dollar series, which were
revised for 1999-2001 and the first quarter of 2002.


Services

Revisions to the services accounts resulted from the incorporation of
results from BEA's annual and quarterly surveys, from BEA's Benchmark
Survey of Selected Services Transactions for 2001 (covering mainly
business, professional, and technical services), and from other newly
available and updated source data.  The estimates for other private
services exports and for other private services imports included
significant revisions to business, professional, and technical
services in 2000 and 2001, and to insurance in 2001.  The revisions
in 2001 largely reflected new data reported on BEA annual surveys for
construction services (which are a component of business, professional,
and technical services) and for insurance.  These estimates had
previously been based on preliminary BEA annual survey data for 2000,
on press reports, and on industry information.
