U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
April 2002
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 $80.1
billion and imports of $116.0 billion resulted in a goods and services
deficit of $35.9 billion, $3.5 billion more than the $32.5 billion in
March, revised. April exports were $1.7 billion more than March exports
of $78.4 billion. April imports were $5.2 billion more than March imports
of $110.9 billion.
In April, the goods deficit increased $3.3 billion from March to $39.9
billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.2 billion to $4.0 billion.
Exports of goods increased to $56.9 billion from $55.0 billion, and imports
of goods increased to $96.8 billion from $91.6 billion. Exports of services
decreased to $23.2 billion from $23.4 billion, and imports of services
decreased to $19.2 billion from $19.3 billion.
Goods
The March to April change in exports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($0.8 billion); automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines ($0.4 billion); consumer goods ($0.3 billion); and other goods
($0.1 billion). Capital goods and foods, feeds, and beverages were
virtually unchanged.
The March to April change in imports of goods reflected increases in
industrial supplies and materials ($3.0 billion); consumer goods ($1.3
billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.8 billion); capital
goods ($0.4 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). A
decrease occurred in other goods ($0.3 billion).
Services
Services exports decreased $0.2 billion from March to April. Decreases in
travel, passenger fares, and other private services (which includes items
such as business, professional, and technical services, insurance services,
and financial services) were partly offset by an increase in transfers under
U.S. military sales contracts. Changes in the other categories of services
exports were small.
Services imports decreased $0.1 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.
Goods and Services Moving Average
For the three months ending in April, exports of goods and services averaged
$78.7 billion, while imports of goods and services averaged $112.4 billion,
resulting in an average trade deficit of $33.8 billion. For the three months
ending in March, the average trade deficit was $31.6 billion, reflecting
average exports of $77.9 billion and average imports of $109.5 billion.
Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details
The April figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with Australia
$0.4 (for March $0.6), Hong Kong $0.4 ($0.5), Egypt $0.2 ($0.3), and
Singapore $0.1 ($0.5). Deficits were recorded, in billions of dollars, with
China $7.6 ($5.6), Western Europe $7.2 ($5.5), Japan $6.8 ($5.7), Canada
$4.1 ($3.9), Mexico $3.3 ($3.5), OPEC $3.0 ($2.4), Taiwan $1.2 ($0.9),
Korea $1.1 ($1.1), Argentina $0.1 ($0.1), and Brazil $0.1 (virtually zero).
Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $14.4 billion in April and
imports were $15.5 billion resulting in a deficit of $1.1 billion. April
exports were $2.6 billion less than the $17.0 billion in March, while imports
were $0.7 billion less than the $16.2 billion in March.
Revisions
Goods carry-over in April was $0.2 billion (0.3 percent) for exports and
$0.5 billion (0.5 percent) for imports. For March, revised export carry-over
was $0.1 billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.2 billion (0.3 percent).
For March, revised import carry-over was virtually zero, revised down from
$0.3 billion (0.3 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 2001," the Census Bureau and the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) are jointly publishing revised data on U.S. trade in
goods for 1999-2001 and the first three months of 2002 and revised data for
services for 1998-2001 and the first three months of 2002. The data in these
releases are also reflected in today's BEA release of "U.S. International
Transactions: First Quarter 2002." More detailed information on U.S.
international transactions is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov and
in the July issue of the Survey of Current Business.
Goods
The 2001 not seasonally adjusted 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 three months of 2002. Similar changes were made
to the constant-dollar series, which were also revised for 1999-2001 and the
first three months of 2002.
Services
The services estimates were revised for 1998-2001 and the first three months
of 2002. The revisions 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 largely on press reports and other industry information.

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.

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.
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
2002, these shipments totaled $52.9 million. U.S. export
coverage also excludes certain Canadian postal shipments.
For April 2002, these shipments totaled $11.0 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 2002 account for 1.7
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 2002, reexports to Canada were
$1,603 million.
4. Exchange Rate -- Average monthly exchange rates are applied
to convert the published data to U.S. currency. For April
2002, the average exchange rate was 1.5815 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 contains 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 error
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.

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 constant dollar basis
(1996 base year) are presented in Exhibits 10 and 11. This
adjustment for price change is done at the lowest end-use level
possible, then summed to the six published end-use aggregates.
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 includes 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 includes gold that enters the customs
territory.
Imports by U.S. military agencies. This deduction of U.S.
military sales contracts is made because the 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
rental.
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 the
quarterly international transactions accounts are released; the
quarterly international transactions accounts, which are based on
more complete source data, are released in March, June, September
and December. To align the monthly estimates with the quarterly
international transactions accounts, the monthly releases in March,
June, September, and December contain revised estimates for the
previous six months. (The monthly release in March also contains
revisions for all months of the previous year in order to align the
seasonally adjusted monthly estimates with the annual totals published
in the quarterly international transactions release in March.)
Annual revisions to the months and quarters, which reflect the incorporation
of updated source data and changes in estimating methodologies, are made
in June. 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 September 12, 2002. The Survey is available from the Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
