EDT TUESDAY, MAY 6, For information on goods contact: For information on services contact: U.S. Census Bureau: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis: Matthew Przybocki 301-763-3148 Technical: Jeffrey Bogen 202-606-9592 Maria Iseman 301-763-2311 Media: Jeannine Aversa 202-606-2649 Goods and Services CB 14-80, BEA 14-20, FT-900 (14-03) U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES March The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the Department of Commerce, announced today that total March exports of $193.9 billion and imports of $234.3 billion resulted in a goods and services deficit of $40.4 billion, down from $41.9 billion in February, revised. March exports were $3.9 billion more than February exports of $190.0 billion. March imports were $2.5 billion more than February imports of $231.8 billion. In March, the goods deficit decreased $0.6 billion from February to $60.7 billion, and the services surplus increased $0.9 billion from February to $20.4 billion. Exports of goods increased $3.7 billion to $135.1 billion, and imports of goods increased $3.1 billion to $195.8 billion. Exports of services increased $0.2 billion to $58.8 billion, and imports of services decreased $0.7 billion to $38.4 billion. The goods and services deficit increased $3.8 billion from March to March. Exports were up $9.2 billion, or 5.0 percent, and imports were up $13.0 billion, or 5.9 percent. Goods (Census Basis) The February to March increase in exports of goods reflected increases in capital goods ($2.1 billion); industrial supplies and materials ($0.9 billion); automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.6 billion); other goods ($0.3 billion); and foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion). A decrease occurred in consumer goods ($0.3 billion). The February to March increase in imports of goods reflected increases in consumer goods ($1.2 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($1.0 billion); capital goods ($0.9 billion); and other goods ($0.8 billion).

Services Exports of services increased $0.2 billion from February to March. Increases in other private services ($0.2 billion), which includes items such as business, professional, and technical services, insurance services, and financial services, and in passenger fares ($0.1 billion) were partly offset by a decrease in travel ($0.1 billion). Changes in the other categories of services exports were relatively small. Imports of services decreased $0.7 billion from February to March. The decrease was more than accounted for by a decrease in royalties and license fees ($0.7 billion), which in February included payments for the rights to broadcast the Winter Olympic Games. Decreases in travel ($0.1 billion) and in passenger fares ($0.1 billion) also contributed. Partly offsetting these decreases were increases in other transportation ($0.2 billion), which includes freight and port services, and in other private services ($0.1 billion). Changes in the other categories of services imports were relatively small. The March to March increase in exports of services was $3.3 billion or 6.0 percent.

Within other private services, the largest increase was in business, professional, and technical services. The March to March increase in imports of services was $1.8 billion or 4.8 percent. The largest increases were in other private services ($1.5 billion) and in other transportation ($0.2 billion). Within other private services, the largest increase was in business, professional, and technical services. Goods and Services Moving Average For the three months ending in March, exports of goods and services averaged $192.1 billion, while imports of goods and services averaged $232.6 billion, resulting in an average trade deficit of $40.5 billion.

NOTICE Seasonally Adjusted Countries and Areas for Goods and Services With the release of April statistics on June 4,, the U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services report will include a new exhibit (Exhibit 20) that presents quarterly seasonally adjusted trade in goods and services on a balance of payments basis for selected major trading partner countries and areas. A template of this exhibit is available at www.bea.gov/newsreleases/international/trade//xls/trad0214_exhibit20.xls. Upcoming Revisions to Goods and Services and Comprehensive Restructuring of the International Economic Accounts On June 4,, 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 and U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services: Annual Revision for. With these releases, statistics on trade in goods on a Census basis will be revised beginning with 2011, and statistics on trade in goods on a balance of payments (BOP) basis and on trade in services will be revised beginning with 1999. The revised statistics on trade in goods on a Census basis will reflect corrections and adjustments to previously published not seasonally adjusted statistics, minor reclassifications of commodities to end-use categories, and recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments. The revised statistics on trade in goods on a BOP basis and on trade in services will reflect newly available and revised source data, changes in estimation methods, and changes in definitions and classifications. The revised statistics will also be included in the report U.S. International Transactions: First Quarter and Annual Revisions and in the annual revision of the U.S. International Transactions Accounts (ITAs), both to be released by BEA on June 18,. With this year s annual revision, BEA will also introduce a new presentation of the ITAs, including a new presentation of services, as part of a comprehensive restructuring of BEA s international economic accounts. This change in presentation, combined with the changes in definitions and classifications, will bring the statistics into closer alignment with international guidelines. Table templates of the new presentation are available on BEA s Web site. Additional information on BEA s comprehensive restructuring of the international accounts was presented in the March Survey of Current Business. Changes that will impact the U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services release are discussed below. Goods on a BOP Basis Net exports of goods under merchanting, which are currently included in trade in services under other private services, will be reclassified to goods through a new BOP adjustment. These net exports reflect the net value of goods that are purchased and subsequently sold abroad without entering the United States. Because these goods do not cross the U.S. customs frontier, their value is not recorded in the data for goods on a Census basis. BOP adjustments adjustments that BEA applies to goods on a Census basis to convert them to a BOP basis are combined and presented as net adjustments in this release. Services The services categories shown in Exhibits 3 and 4 will change, and the number of categories will increase from seven to nine. The new categories will be: maintenance and repair services n.i.e. (not included elsewhere); transport; travel (for all purposes including education); insurance services; financial services; charges for the use of intellectual property n.i.e.; telecommunications, computer, and information services; other business services; and government goods and services n.i.e. Templates of the new presentation for Exhibits 3 and 4 are available at www.bea.gov/newsreleases/international/trade//xls/trad0114_prototype.xls. The current category other transportation will be renamed transport and will include passenger fares, which will no longer be shown as a separate category. Royalties and license fees will be renamed charges for the use of intellectual property n.i.e. Transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts (for exports), direct defense expenditures (for imports), and U.S. government miscellaneous services (for exports and imports) will become

part of government goods and services n.i.e. The definition of travel will be broadened to include health-related and education-related travel and the expenditures on goods and services by border, seasonal, and other short-term workers, all of which are currently included in other private services. To distinguish it from the current measure, the new measure will be called travel (for all purposes including education). Maintenance and repair services n.i.e., financial services, and insurance services, all of which are currently included in other private services, will be shown as separate categories. Other business services will consist of the remaining components of other private services. If you have questions or need additional information, please contact BEA s Balance of Payments Division at InternationalAccounts@bea.gov.
