About these figures
Figures are country-level aggregates of goods trade based on U.S. Census Bureau foreign-trade statistics. Exports are total exports; imports are general imports (goods arriving in the U.S.); both are totals for the latest available full calendar year (January–December). The trade balance is exports minus imports — positive means a U.S. surplus. Statistics may be revised, and services trade (travel, IP royalties, etc.) is not included.
