U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
Annual Revision for 2005
                                
NOTICE
                                
In this release and the accompanying "U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services: April
2006", the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) are jointly
publishing revised data on U.S. trade in goods for 2003-2005 and the first three months of 2006
and revised data on services for 1997-2005 and the first three months of 2006.  

Goods

The 2005 not seasonally adjusted Census-basis goods data were revised to redistribute monthly
data that arrived too late for inclusion in the month of transaction but that were included,
initially, in the month in which the data were received.  In addition, corrections were made to
previously published data.  Once the redistributions of data to the proper month of transaction
and corrections were completed, factors for seasonal adjustments and trading day adjustments
were recomputed and the seasonally adjusted current-dollar series were revised for 2003-2005
and the first three months of 2006.  Similar changes were made to the chain-weighted dollar
series.  

Services

The services estimates were revised for 1997-2005 and the first three months of 2006.  The
revisions resulted from the incorporation of results from BEA's annual and quarterly surveys.
Revisions from these sources have an impact mostly on receipts and payments for 2003-2005
and the first three months of 2006.  BEA has instituted a program of quarterly surveys to better
capture movements of large and volatile categories of transactions, as well as to improve the
coverage of transactions.  In addition, this year's revisions include results from BEA's
benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United States for 2002 and from BEA's
benchmark survey of financial services transactions with unaffiliated foreigners for 2004.
