The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, through the Department of Commerce,

$2.0 billion less than May exports of $152.4 billion.  June imports were $5.9 billion more than May 
imports of $194.4 billion.

In June, the goods deficit increased $7.7 billion from May to $62.0 billion, and the services surplus 
decreased $0.2 billion to $12.1 billion.  Exports of goods decreased $2.3 billion to $105.0 billion, 
and imports of goods increased $5.4 billion to $167.0 billion.  Exports of services increased $0.3

$22.6 billion, or 17.7 percent, and imports were up $45.3 billion, or 29.2 percent.

insurance services, and financial services).  Changes in the other categories of services exports 
were small.

Services imports increased $0.6 billion from May to June.  The increase was mostly accounted for

rights related to the 2010 soccer World Cup), and travel.  Changes in the other categories of 
services imports were small.
								
The June 2009 to June 2010 increase in exports of services was $4.2 billion.  The largest increases

professional, and technical services.
