NOTICE

Upcoming Updates to Goods and Services

On June 6, 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will release

“U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services: April 2018” (FT-900) and “U.S. International Trade in

Goods and Services: Annual Revision” (FT-900 Annual Revision). With these releases, statistics on trade in

goods on a Census basis will be revised beginning with 2015, and statistics on trade in goods on a balance

of payments (BOP) basis and on trade in services will be revised beginning with 2010. The revised statistics

for goods on a BOP basis and for services will also be included in the “U.S. International Transactions: First

Quarter 2018 and Annual Update” report and in the international transactions interactive database, both to

be released by BEA on June 20, 2018.

Revised statistics on trade in goods on a Census basis will reflect 1) corrections and adjustments to

previously published not seasonally adjusted statistics, 2) reclassifications of several end-use commodities,

and 3) recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments.

In addition to revisions to goods on a Census basis, revised statistics on goods on a BOP basis will reflect

revised BOP adjustments, which are adjustments that BEA applies to goods on a Census basis to convert

them to a BOP basis. With this annual update, BOP adjustments for estimating exports through the Foreign

Military Sales (FMS) program will be discontinued because the Census-basis goods data now provide more

complete coverage of these exports. BEA will use the Census-basis exports as the source for FMS goods for

statistics beginning with 2010. Other revisions to BOP adjustments will reflect newly available and revised

source data and recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments beginning with 2015. For more

information on BOP adjustments, see the “Goods (balance of payments basis)” section in the explanatory

notes.

Revised statistics on trade in services will reflect 1) a new method for estimating goods and services

transferred through military grant programs, 2) newly available and revised source data, primarily from

BEA’s surveys of international services transactions, 3) recalculated seasonal adjustments, and 4) revised

temporal distributions of quarterly source data to monthly statistics (see the “Services” section in the

explanatory notes for more information). Exports will be revised beginning with 2010 and imports will be

revised beginning with 2013.

An article previewing BEA’s 2018 annual update of the international transactions accounts will appear in

the May 2018 issue of the Survey of Current Business. If you have questions, please contact BEA, Balance

of Payments Division, at [emailprotected].

Upcoming Change to the Real (Chained-Dollar) Series

With the releases of the FT-900 and the FT-900 Annual Revision on June 6, 2018—and consistent with the

release of the upcoming comprehensive update of the national income and product accounts—the reference

year for the chained-dollar series will be updated to 2012 from 2009 to reference the time series on prices

from a more recent year. The historical chained-dollar series, which begin in 1994, will also be revised to

reflect the new reference year. See the “Adjustments for price change” section in the explanatory notes for

more information.

If you have questions, please contact the Census Bureau, Economic Indicators Division, on (800) 549-0595,

EXPLANATORY NOTES

Goods (Census Basis)

Data for goods on a Census basis are compiled from the documents collected by U.S. Customs and Border

Protection (CBP) 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 CBP-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. The exception is Exhibit 17a, which shows CIF

import value. The CIF (cost, insurance, and freight) value represents the landed value of the merchandise at

the first port of arrival in the United States. It is computed by adding import charges to the customs value

and therefore excludes U.S. import duties.

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.

Revision Procedure (Census Basis)

Monthly Revisions: Monthly data include actual month's transactions as well as a small number of

transactions for previous months. Each month, the U.S. Census Bureau revises the aggregate seasonally

adjusted (current and real chained-dollar) and unadjusted export, import, and trade balance figures, as well

as the end-use totals for the prior month. Country detail data and commodity detail data, based on the

Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 4 and the North American Industry

Classification System (NAICS), are not revised monthly. The timing adjustment shown in Exhibit 14 is the

difference between monthly data as originally reported and as recompiled.

For February, unadjusted exports of goods were revised down less than $0.1 billion and unadjusted imports

of goods were revised down $0.1 billion. Goods carry-over in March was $0.1 billion (less than 0.1 percent)

for exports and $0.1 billion (0.1 percent) for imports. For February, revised export carry-over was $0.1

billion (less than 0.1 percent) and revised import carry-over was $0.4 billion (0.2 percent).

Quarterly Revisions to Chain-Weighted Dollar Series: For March, June, September, and December

statistical month releases, revisions are made to the real chained-dollar series presented in Exhibits 10 and

mailto:[emailprotected]

http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3

mailto:[emailprotected]

11: the previous five months are revised to incorporate the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) revisions

to price indexes, which are used to produce the real chained-dollar series and to align Census data with data

published by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in the national income and product accounts

(NIPAs).

Annual Revisions: Each June, not seasonally adjusted goods data are revised to redistribute monthly data

that arrived too late for inclusion in the month of transaction. In addition, revisions are made to reflect

corrections received subsequent to the monthly revisions. Seasonally adjusted data are also revised to reflect

recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments. These revisions are reflected in totals, end-use,

commodity, and country summary data.

Other Revisions: For December and January statistical month releases, each prior month of the most recent

full year is revised so that the totals of the seasonally adjusted months equal the annual totals.

U.S./Canada Data Exchange and Substitution

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 March 2018, these

shipments totaled $217.7 million. U.S. export coverage also excludes U.S. postal shipments to

Canada. For March 2018, these shipments totaled $23.0 million.

U.S. import coverage includes shipments of railcars and locomotives from Canada. Effective with

January 2004 statistics, Canada excludes these shipments from its goods exports to the United States,

therefore creating coverage differences between the two countries for these goods.

2. Valuation - Canadian imports are valued at the 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 than the Canadian import value. Canada requires inland freight

to be reported separately from the value of the goods. Combining the inland freight and the Canadian

reported import value provides a consistent valuation for all U.S. exports. Inland freight charges for

March 2018 accounted for 1.9 percent of the value of U.S. exports to Canada.

3. Re-exports - Unlike Canadian imports, which are based on country of origin, U.S. exports include re-

exports of foreign goods. Therefore, the aggregate U.S. export figure is slightly larger than the

Canadian import figure. For March 2018, re-exports to Canada were $4,601.9 million.

4. Exchange Rate - Average monthly exchange rates are applied to convert the published data to U.S.

currency. For March 2018, the average exchange rate was 1.2933 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar.

http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3

mailto:[emailprotected]

5. Other - There are other minor differences, such as rounding error, that are statistically insignificant.

Canadian Estimates: Effective with January 2001 statistics, the current month data for exports to Canada

contain an estimate for late arrivals and corrections. In the following month, this estimate is replaced, in the

news release exhibits only, with the actual value of late receipts and corrections. This estimate improves the

current month data for exports to Canada and treats late receipts for exports to Canada in a manner that is

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 CBP and are not subject to sampling

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 aggregate 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 Census Bureau has determined that not all

required documents are filed, particularly for exports.

Timeliness and Data Capture Errors: The Census Bureau captures import and export information from

administrative documents and through various automated collection programs. Documents may be lost, and

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 Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate this information into their analyses, as

nonsampling errors could impact the conclusion drawn from the results. See “U.S. Merchandise Trade

Statistics: A Quality Profile” (October 2014) for a detailed discussion of errors affecting the goods data.

Adjustments for Seasonal and Trading-Day Variations

Goods are initially classified under the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System

(Harmonized System), which is an internationally accepted standard for the commodity classification of

traded goods. The Harmonized System describes and measures the characteristics of the goods and is the

basis for the systems used in the United States: Schedule B for exports and Harmonized Tariff Schedule for

imports. 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 trading-day adjusted data. These adjusted data are then summed

to the six end-use aggregates for publication (see Exhibit 6). These data are provided to BEA, from the

Census Bureau, for use in the NIPAs and in the U.S international transactions accounts (balance of

payments accounts).

Exhibit 19 shows goods (Census basis) that are seasonally adjusted for selected countries and world areas.

Unlike the commodity-based adjustments discussed above, these adjustments are developed and applied

directly at the country and world area levels. For total exports and imports, data users should refer to the

commodity-based totals shown in the other exhibits. The seasonally adjusted country and world area data

will not sum to the seasonally adjusted commodity-based totals because the seasonally adjusted country and

world area data and the commodity-based totals are derived from different aggregations of the export and

import data and from different seasonal adjustment models. Data users should use caution drawing

comparisons between the two sets of seasonally adjusted series.

The seasonal adjustment procedure (X13-ARIMA-SEATS) is based on a model that estimates the monthly

movements as percentages above or below the general level of series (unlike other methods that redistribute

the actual series values over the calendar year). Because the data series for aircraft is highly variable, users

studying data trends may wish to analyze trade in aircraft separately from other trade.

Adjustments for Price Change

Data adjusted for seasonal variation on a real chained-dollar basis (2009 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 on the monthly price indexes published by the BLS using techniques

developed for the NIPAs by BEA.

Principal Commodities

Goods data appearing in Exhibit 15 are classified in terms of the SITC Revision 4, with the exception of

agricultural and manufactured goods. Agricultural goods are defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture

(USDA); they consist of non-marine food products and other products of agriculture that have not passed

through complex processes of manufacture. Manufactured goods conform to the NAICS; they consist of

mailto:[emailprotected]

http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3

mailto:[emailprotected]

goods that have been mechanically, physically, or chemically transformed. USDA agricultural goods and

NAICS manufactured goods are not mutually exclusive categories.

Re-exports are foreign merchandise entering the country as imports and then exported in substantially the

same condition as when imported. Re-exports, included in overall export totals, appear as separate line items

in Exhibit 15.

Advanced Technology Products

About 500 of some 22,000 Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule 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 that appears in Exhibits 16

and 16a. This product- and commodity-based measure of advanced technology differs from broader NAICS-

based measures, which include all goods produced by a particular industry group, regardless of the level of

technology embodied in the goods.

Goods (Balance of Payments Basis) and Services

Quarterly and annual statistics for goods on a balance of payments (BOP) basis and for services are included

in the U.S. international transactions accounts (ITAs), which are published by BEA in news releases in

March, June, September, and December and in the Survey of Current Business in the January, April, July,

and October issues. The next release of the ITAs is scheduled for June 20, 2018.

In addition, BEA releases detailed annual international services statistics, which consist of statistics on trade

in services and on services supplied through affiliates of multinational enterprises. The statistics provide

detail on U.S. trade in services by type and by country and area and detail on services supplied through

affiliates by industry and by country and area.

Goods (Balance of Payments Basis)

Goods on a Census basis are adjusted by BEA to a BOP basis to align the data with the concepts and

definitions used to prepare the international and national economic accounts. These adjustments, which are

applied separately to exports and imports, are necessary to supplement coverage of the Census data, to

eliminate duplication of transactions recorded elsewhere in the international accounts, and to value

transactions at market prices. They include both additions to and deductions from goods on a Census basis

https://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?reqid=62&step=9&isuri=1&6210=4#reqid=62&step=9&isuri=1&6210=4

and are presented in this release as net adjustments. Adjustments that exhibit significant seasonal patterns

are seasonally adjusted. BEA also publishes more detailed quarterly and annual statistics for net adjustments

in ITA Table 2.4. U.S. International Trade in Goods, Balance of Payments Adjustments and in the January,

April, July, and October issues of the Survey of Current Business.

The export adjustments include:

Exports under U.S. military sales contracts -This adjustment reflects the net amount of two separate

adjustments. BEA first deducts goods identified in the Census data as exports under the U.S. Foreign

Military Sales program. BEA then adds primary source data for these exports, which are reported to BEA

by the U.S. Department of Defense.

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 U.S. customs territory.

Goods procured in U.S. ports by foreign carriers - This addition is made for foreign air and ocean

carriers’ fuel purchases in U.S. ports.

Net exports of goods under merchanting - This addition is made to include the net value of the purchase

and subsequent resale of goods abroad without the goods entering the United States. Because these goods do

not cross the U.S. customs frontier, their value is not recorded in the Census data.

Other adjustments to exports include:

Deductions for equipment repairs (parts and labor), developed motion picture film, and military grant-aid.

Additions for sales of fish caught in U.S. territorial waters, exports of electricity to Mexico, private gift

parcels, vessels and oil rigs for which ownership changes, valuation of software exports at market value, and

low-value (below reporting threshold) transactions for 1999–2009 to phase in a revised Census Bureau low-

value methodology that was implemented for goods on a Census basis beginning with statistics for 2010.

The import adjustments include:

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 U.S. customs territory.

Goods procured in foreign ports by U.S. carriers - This addition is made for U.S. air and ocean carriers’

fuel purchases in foreign ports.

Imports by U.S. military agencies - This addition is made for purchases of goods abroad by U.S. military

agencies, which are reported to BEA by the Department of Defense. The Census data only include imports

of goods by U.S. military agencies that enter the U.S. customs territory.

Inland freight in Canada and Mexico - This addition is made for inland freight in Canada and Mexico.

Imports of goods from all countries should be valued at the customs value—the value at the foreign port of

export including inland freight charges. For imports from Canada and Mexico, this should be the cost of the

goods at the U.S. border. However, the customs value for imports for certain Canadian and Mexican goods

is the point of origin in Canada or Mexico. BEA makes an addition for the inland freight charges of

transporting these goods to the U.S. border to make the value comparable to the customs value reported for

imports from other countries.

Other adjustments to imports include:

Deductions for equipment repairs (parts and labor), repairs to U.S. vessels abroad, and developed motion

picture film. Additions for non-reported imports of locomotives and railcars, imports of electricity from

Mexico, conversion of vessels for commercial use, valuation of software imports at market value, and low-

value (below reporting threshold) transactions for 1999–2009 to phase in a revised Census Bureau low-

value methodology that was implemented for goods on a Census basis beginning with statistics for 2010.

Services

The services statistics cover 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 these installations are

considered to be part of the U.S. economy.

Services statistics are based on quarterly, annual, and benchmark surveys and information obtained from

monthly government and industry reports. For categories for which monthly data are not available, monthly

statistics are derived from quarterly statistics through temporal distribution, or interpolation. The

interpolation methodology used by BEA is the modified Denton proportional first difference method. This

method preserves the pattern of the monthly indicator series, if available, while satisfying the annual

aggregation constraints. See “An Empirical Review of Methods for Temporal Distribution and Interpolation

in the National Accounts” (May 2008) for more information. Services are seasonally adjusted when

statistically significant seasonal patterns are present.

Services are shown in nine broad categories. The following is a brief description of the types of services

included in each category:

Maintenance and repair services n.i.e. (not included elsewhere) - Consists of maintenance and repair

services performed by residents of one country on goods that are owned by residents of another country.

mailto:[emailprotected]

https://www.bea.gov/scb/pdf/2008/05%20May/0508_methods.pdf

The repairs may be performed at the site of the repair facility or elsewhere. Excludes such services in which

the cost is included in the price of the goods and is not billed separately or is declared as a part of the price

of the goods on the import or export declaration filed with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Maintenance and repair of computers are included under computer services, and some maintenance and

repair of ships, aircraft, and other transport equipment are included under transport services.

Transport - Consists of transactions associated with moving people and freight from one location to

another and includes related supporting and auxiliary services. Transport covers all modes of transportation,

including air, sea, rail, road, space, and pipeline. Postal and courier services and port services, which cover

cargo handling, storage and warehousing, and other related transport services, are also included.

Travel (for all purposes including education) - Includes goods and services acquired by nonresidents

while abroad. A traveler is defined as a person who stays, or intends to stay, for less than one year in a

country of which he or she is not a resident or as a nonresident whose purpose is to obtain education or

medical treatment, no matter how long the stay. Purchases can be either for own use or for gifts to others.

Travel is a transactor-based component that covers a variety of goods and services, primarily lodging,

meals, transportation in the country of travel, amusem*nt, entertainment, and gifts. Travel excludes air

passenger services for travel between countries, which are included in transport, and goods for resale, which

are included in goods.

Travel includes business and personal travel. Business travel covers goods and services acquired for use by

persons whose primary purpose for travel is for business (including goods and services for which business

travelers are reimbursed by employers). Business travel also includes expenditures by border, seasonal, and

other short-term workers in their economy of employment. Personal travel covers travel for all non-business

purposes, including for medical or educational purposes.

Insurance services - Includes the direct insurance services of providing life insurance and annuities, non-

life (property and casualty) insurance, reinsurance, freight insurance, and auxiliary insurance services.

Insurance is measured as gross premiums earned plus premium supplements less claims payable, with an

adjustment for claims volatility. Premium supplements represent investment income from insurance

reserves, which are attributed to policyholders who are treated as paying the income back to the insurer.

Auxiliary insurance services include agents’ commissions, brokerage services, insurance consulting

services, actuarial services, and other insurance services.

Financial services - Includes financial intermediary and auxiliary services, except insurance services. These

services include those normally provided by banks and other financial institutions. Services primarily

include those for which an explicit commission or a fee is charged; implicit fees for bond transactions,

measured as the difference between bid and ask prices, are also included. Services include securities

http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3

mailto:[emailprotected]

brokerage and underwriting, financial management, financial advisory, and custody services; credit and

other credit-related services; and securities lending, electronic funds transfer, and other services.

Charges for the use of intellectual property n.i.e. - Includes charges for the use of proprietary rights, such

as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and charges for licenses to use, reproduce, distribute, and sell or

purchase intellectual property.

Telecommunications, computer, and information services - Telecommunications services include the

broadcast or transmission of sound, images, data, or other information by electronic means. These services

do not include the value of the information transmitted. Computer services consist of hardware- and

software-related services and data processing services. Sales of customized software and related use

licenses, as well as licenses to use non-customized software with a periodic license fee, are also included, as

is software downloaded or otherwise electronically delivered. Cross-border transactions in non-customized

packaged software with a license for perpetual use are included in goods. Information services include news

agency services, database services, and web search portals.

Other business services - Consists of research and development services, professional and management

consulting services, and technical, trade-related, and other business services. Research and development

services include services associated with basic and applied research and experimental development of new

products and processes. Professional and management consulting services include legal services,

accounting, management consulting, managerial services, public relations services, advertising, and market

research. Amounts received by a parent company from its affiliates for general overhead expenses related to

these services are included. Technical, trade-related, and other business services include architectural and

engineering, construction, audio-visual, waste treatment, operational leasing, trade-related, and other

business services.

Government goods and services n.i.e. - Includes goods and services supplied by and to enclaves, such as

embassies, military bases, and international organizations; goods and services acquired from the host

economy by diplomats, consular staff, and military personnel located abroad and their dependents; and

services supplied by and to governments that are not included in other services categories. Services supplied

by and to governments are classified to specific services categories when source data permit.

Goods (BOP Basis) and Services by Country and Area

Monthly country and area detail is not available for goods on a BOP basis or for services. However,

quarterly statistics on goods on a BOP basis and on services that are seasonally adjusted by geography are

shown in Exhibit 20. Unlike the seasonal adjustments by commodity and by service type that are applied to

the global totals, these adjustments are developed and applied directly at the country and world area levels.

For total exports and imports, data users should refer to the by-commodity and by-service type totals shown

mailto:[emailprotected]

http://www.census.gov/manufacturing/m3

mailto:[emailprotected]

in the other exhibits. The seasonally adjusted country and world area data will not sum to the seasonally

adjusted by-commodity and by-service type totals because the two sets of statistics are derived from

different aggregations of the export and import data and from different seasonal adjustment models. Data

users should use caution drawing comparisons between the two sets of seasonally adjusted series.

The definitions of the world areas shown in Exhibit 20 are consistent with the definitions for goods on a

Census basis (see AREA GROUPINGS above) with a few exceptions. For services, CAFTA-DR is not

available because trade with this area’s member countries cannot be separately identified. For goods on a

BOP basis and for services, European Union and OPEC reflect the composition of the areas at the time of

reporting.

Revision Procedure (Goods on a BOP Basis and Services)

Monthly Revisions: Each month, a preliminary estimate for the current month and a revised estimate for

the immediately preceding month are released. After the initial revision, no further revisions are made to a

month until more complete source data become available in March, June, September, and December.

Quarterly Revisions: The releases in March, June, September, and December contain revised estimates for

the previous six months to incorporate more comprehensive and updated source data.

Annual Revisions: Each June, historical data are revised to incorporate newly available and revised source

data, changes in definitions and classifications, and changes in estimation methods. Seasonally adjusted data

are also revised to reflect recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments.

Other Revisions: The release in February contains revisions to goods for January through November of the

most recent year; the release in March contains revisions to both goods and services for all months of the

most recent year. These revisions result from forcing the seasonally adjusted months to equal the annual

totals.
