Goods and Services

The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the Department of
Commerce, announced today that total July exports of $198.0 billion and imports of $238.6
billion resulted in a goods and services deficit of $40.5 billion, down from $40.8 billion in
June, revised. July exports were $1.8 billion more than June exports of $196.2 billion. July
imports were $1.6 billion more than June imports of $237.0 billion.

In July, the goods deficit decreased $0.2 billion from June to $60.2 billion, and the services
surplus was virtually unchanged at $19.6 billion. Exports of goods increased $1.8 billion to
$138.6 billion, and imports of goods increased $1.5 billion to $198.8 billion. Exports of
services increased $0.1 billion to $59.4 billion, and imports of services were virtually
unchanged at $39.8 billion.

The goods and services deficit increased $1.1 billion from July 2013 to July 2014. Exports were
up $8.1 billion, or 4.3 percent, and imports were up $9.2 billion, or 4.0 percent.

Goods (Census Basis)

The June to July increase in exports of goods reflected increases in automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines ($1.7 billion); industrial supplies and materials ($1.3 billion); and capital goods
($0.4 billion). Decreases occurred in consumer goods ($0.6 billion) and foods, feeds, and
beverages ($0.6 billion). Other goods were virtually unchanged.

The June to July increase in imports of goods reflected increases in automotive vehicles, parts,
and engines ($1.4 billion); other goods ($0.5 billion); industrial supplies and materials
($0.5 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). Decreases occurred in consumer
goods ($0.5 billion) and capital goods ($0.3 billion).

The July 2013 to July 2014 increase in exports of goods reflected increases in automotive
vehicles, parts, and engines ($2.8 billion); capital goods ($1.5 billion); consumer goods
($0.7 billion); other goods ($0.5 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.3 billion); and
industrial supplies and materials ($0.1 billion).

The July 2013 to July 2014 increase in imports of goods reflected increases in capital goods
($3.5 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($2.8 billion); foods, feeds, and
beverages ($1.3 billion); consumer goods ($0.7 billion); and other goods ($0.5 billion). A
decrease occurred in industrial supplies and materials ($0.6 billion).

Services

Exports of services increased $0.1 billion from June to July. The increase reflected increases
of less than $0.1 billion in several categories of services.

Imports of services were virtually unchanged from June to July. An increase in other business
services ($0.1 billion) was mostly offset by a decrease in charges for the use of intellectual
property ($0.1 billion), which decreased due to higher payments in June than in July for the
rights to broadcast the 2014 soccer World Cup. Changes in the other categories of services
imports were relatively small.

The July 2013 to July 2014 increase in exports of services was $2.4 billion or 4.2 percent. The
largest increases were in travel (for all purposes including education) ($1.0 billion), in
transport ($0.6 billion), which includes freight and port services and passenger fares, in other
business services ($0.4 billion), and in financial services ($0.4 billion).

The July 2013 to July 2014 increase in imports of services was $1.3 billion or 3.5 percent. The
largest increases were in travel (for all purposes including education) ($0.7 billion) and in
other business services ($0.5 billion).

Goods and Services Moving Average

For the three months ending in July, exports of goods and services averaged $196.8 billion,
while imports of goods and services averaged $238.4 billion, resulting in an average trade
deficit of $41.6 billion. For the three months ending in June, the average trade deficit was
