Goods and Services

The Bureau of the Census and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the 
Department of Commerce, announced today that total February exports of 
$79.2 billion and imports of $110.7 billion resulted in a goods and 
services deficit of $31.5 billion, $3.3 billion more than the $28.2
billion in January, revised.  February exports were $1.0 billion more 
than January exports of $78.2 billion.  February imports were $4.2 
billion more than January imports of $106.5 billion.

In February, the goods deficit increased $3.2 billion from January to 
$36.9 billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.1 billion to $5.4 
billion.  Exports of goods increased to $55.1 billion from $55.0 billion,
and imports of goods increased to $92.1 billion from $88.8 billion.  
Exports of services increased to $24.1 billion from $23.2 billion, and 
imports of services increased to $18.6 billion from $17.7 billion.

Goods
     
The January to February change in exports of goods reflected increases 
in other goods ($0.2 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines 
($0.2 billion); industrial supplies and materials ($0.1 billion); and 
foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion).  A decrease occurred in 
capital goods ($0.2 billion).  Consumer goods were virtually unchanged.

The January to February change in imports of goods reflected increases 
in automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($1.6 billion); consumer 
goods ($1.1 billion); capital goods ($0.5 billion); foods, feeds, and
beverages ($0.2 billion); and industrial supplies and materials 
($0.1 billion).  A decrease occurred in other goods ($0.1 billion).

Services
     
Services exports increased $0.8 billion from January to February.  
The increase was mostly accounted for by increases in travel, passenger
fares, and other private services (which includes items such as 
business, professional, and technical services, insurance services, 
and financial services).  The increases in travel and passenger fares 
reflect further, but still incomplete, recovery from the post-September 
11th lows recorded in October.  The increase in other private services 
was largely related to funding provided by the International Olympic
Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.  Changes in the other 
categories of services exports were small. 

Services imports increased $0.9 billion from January to February.  
Royalties and license fees increased $0.6 billion; it includes payments 
to the International Olympic Committee for the rights to broadcast 
the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.  Travel and passenger fares increased, 
reflecting continued recovery from the post-September 11th lows.  Other
private services also increased.  Changes in the other categories of 
services imports were small.  

Goods and Services Moving Average 

For the three months ending in February, exports of goods and services 
averaged $78.5 billion, while imports of goods and services averaged 
$106.6 billion, resulting in an average trade deficit of $28.2
billion.  For the three months ending in January, the average trade 
deficit was $27.2 billion, reflecting average exports of $78.1 billion 
and average imports of $105.3 billion.
                             
Selected Not Seasonally Adjusted Goods Details 

The February figures showed surpluses, in billions of dollars, with 
Australia $0.5 (for January $0.4), Egypt $0.4 ($0.1), and Hong Kong 
$0.3 ($0.1). Deficits were recorded, in billions of dollars, with
China $6.5 ($6.9), Japan $5.7 ($4.8), Western Europe $4.8 ($5.0), 
Canada $3.9 ($4.4), Mexico $2.7 ($2.3), OPEC $1.9 ($2.6), Taiwan 
$1.1 ($1.3), Korea $1.0 ($1.1), and Argentina $0.1 ($0.2).

Advanced technology products (ATP) exports were $13.1 billion in 
February and imports were $14.6 billion, resulting in a deficit of 
$1.5 billion.  February exports were $0.4 billion less than the 
$13.5 billion in January, while imports were $0.2 billion less 
than the $14.8 billion in January.

Revisions
     
Goods carry-over in February was $0.6 billion (1.1 percent) for exports 
and $0.7 billion (0.8 percent) for imports.  For January, revised 
export carry-over was $0.2 billion (0.4 percent), revised down from 
$0.4 billion (0.8 percent).  For January, revised import carry-over 
was $0.2 billion (0.2 percent), revised down from $0.8 billion (0.9

in travel.  Services imports for January were revised up $0.1
billion to $17.7 billion; the revision was mostly accounted for by 
upward revisions in other private services and travel.

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.

               INFORMATION ON GOODS AND SERVICES
                                
GOODS

CENSUS BASIS

The Census basis goods data are compiled from the documents
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 February  
     2002, these shipments totaled $39.3 million. U.S. export
     coverage also excludes certain Canadian postal shipments. 
     For February 2002, these shipments totaled $9.6 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 February 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 February 2002, reexports to Canada were 
     $1,372 million.
   
4.   Exchange Rate -- Average monthly exchange rates are applied
     to convert the published data to U.S. currency. For February
     2002, the average exchange rate was 1.5964 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 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, 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.

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, which
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 June 20, 2002. The Survey is available from the Superintendent of 
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
