U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN GOODS AND SERVICES
June 2011




Goods and Services
    
    The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of 
Economic Analysis, through the Department of Commerce, 
announced today that total June exports of $170.9 billion 
and imports of $223.9 billion resulted in a goods and services 
deficit of $53.1 billion, up from $50.8 billion in May, revised.  
June exports were $4.1 billion less than May exports of $175.0 
billion.  June imports were $1.9 billion less than May imports 
of $225.8 billion.
    
    In June, the goods deficit increased $2.1 billion from May 
to $67.6 billion, and the services surplus decreased $0.1 billion 
to $14.5 billion.  Exports of goods decreased $4.1 billion to 
$121.2 billion, and imports of goods decreased $1.9 billion to 
$188.8 billion.  Exports of services remained virtually 
unchanged at $49.6 billion, and imports of services remained 
virtually unchanged at $35.1 billion.
    
    The goods and services deficit increased $6.2 billion from 
June 2010 to June 2011.  Exports were up $19.5 billion, or 
12.9 percent, and imports were up $25.7 billion, or 13.0 
percent.
    
Goods (Census Basis)
    
    The May to June decrease in exports of goods reflected 
decreases in industrial supplies and materials ($2.0 billion); 
capital goods ($1.5 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.8 
billion); and other goods ($0.5 billion). An increase occurred  
  

 
in consumer goods ($0.7 billion). Automotive vehicles, parts, 
and engines were virtually unchanged.

   The May to June decrease in imports of goods reflected 
decreases in industrial supplies and materials ($2.2 billion); 
automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.2 billion); capital 
goods ($0.1 billion); and consumer goods ($0.1 billion). 
Increases occurred in other goods ($0.7 billion) and foods, 
feeds, and beverages ($0.1 billion).
   
   The June 2010 to June 2011 increase in exports of goods 
reflected increases in industrial supplies and materials ($7.5 
billion); capital goods ($3.0 billion); foods, feeds, and 
beverages ($2.2 billion); consumer goods ($1.4 billion); and 
automotive vehicles, parts, and engines ($1.4 billion). A 
decrease occurred in other goods ($0.3 billion).
   
  The June 2010 to June 2011 increase in imports of goods 
reflected increases in industrial supplies and materials ($15.8 
billion); capital goods ($5.2 billion); foods, feeds, and 
beverages ($1.5 billion); other goods ($0.7 billion); and 
consumer goods ($0.6 billion). Automotive vehicles, parts, and 
engines were virtually unchanged. 
    
Services

    Services exports were virtually unchanged from May to 
June. Decreases in passenger fares and other transportation 
(which includes freight and port services) were mostly offset 
by an increase in other private services (which includes items 
such as business, professional, and technical services, 
insurance services, and financial services). Changes in the 
other categories of services exports were small. 
    
	Services imports were virtually unchanged from May to 
June. The changes in all categories of services imports were 
small and mostly offsetting.
								
	The June 2010 to June 2011 increase in exports of 
services was $3.7 billion. The largest increases were in other 
private services ($2.4 billion), travel ($0.8 billion), and 
passenger fares ($0.2 billion). Within other private services, 
the largest increases were in financial services and business, 
professional, and technical services.
	
	The June 2010 to June 2011 increase in imports of 
services was $1.2 billion. The largest increases were in other 
private services ($0.6 billion), travel ($0.2 billion), and 
passenger fares ($0.2 billion). Within other private services, 
the largest increases were in business, professional, and 
technical services and financial services.
    
Goods and Services Moving Average

    For the three months ending in June, exports of goods and 
services averaged $173.9 billion, while imports of goods and 
services averaged $223.1 billion, resulting in an average trade

exports of $174.7 billion and average imports of $221.8
