Methodology & Sources

Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), International Transactions Accounts (ITA); US Census Bureau, International Trade data.

Quarterly data: BEA ITA provides seasonally adjusted quarterly trade flows for goods and services, including exports, imports, and balances.

End-use categories: Goods are classified by end-use (capital goods, consumer goods, industrial supplies, automotive, food, energy). Services include travel, transport, financial, insurance, IP charges, telecom, and business services.

Country data: Annual trade flows with 30 major trading partners from BEA ITA, covering both goods and services.

State data: Annual state-level exports and imports from the US Census Bureau International Trade program. State exports use origin of movement; state imports use customs value at state of entry.

Notes: All quarterly values are in millions of USD, seasonally adjusted. Annual country/region/state data is not seasonally adjusted. Trade balance = exports − imports; negative values indicate a deficit.
