How to read this baseline

Use total trade to size the market, then switch to imports or exports to see directional exposure.
The balance card is exports minus imports; a negative value means a trade deficit for the selected slice.
Start here before drilling into a partner or HS code so the narrower view has context.

Values reflect Census Bureau FT900 releases. Imports are CIF general-imports (GEN_VAL_MO); exports are FAS total exports (ALL_VAL_MO). Monthly totals are revised for several months after initial release.
