NOTE: (1) Data presented on a Balance of Payments (BOP) basis. For information on data sources and methodology, see the information section on page 27 of this release, or at www.census.gov/ft900 or www.bea.gov/bea/di/home/trade.htm. 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 end month of the period. A moving average is useful in smoothing the volatile trade data so that trends can better be discerned.
