imports of $225.4 billion resulted in a goods and services

revised. June exports were $4.1 billion more than May exports 
of $187.1 billion. June imports were $5.8 billion less than May 
imports of $231.2 billion.
    
    In June, the goods deficit decreased $9.7 billion from

billion from May to $18.9 billion. Exports of goods increased 
$4.0 billion to $134.3 billion, and imports of goods decreased 
$5.7 billion to $187.4 billion. Exports of services increased 
$0.1 billion to $56.9 billion, and imports of services were

3.2 percent, and imports were down $2.3 billion, or 1.0

    The May to June increase in exports of goods reflected 
increases in industrial supplies and materials ($1.5 billion); 
capital goods ($1.5 billion); consumer goods ($1.0 billion); 
foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.3 billion); and other goods 
($0.3 billion). A decrease occurred in automotive vehicles, 
parts, and engines ($0.4 billion). 
 
   The May to June decrease in imports of goods reflected 
decreases in industrial supplies and materials ($2.5 billion); 
consumer goods ($1.6 billion); other goods ($1.2 billion); 
foods, feeds, and beverages ($0.4 billion); and automotive 
vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.3 billion). Capital goods were 
virtually unchanged.

   The June 2012 to June 2013 decrease in imports of goods

Services

    Exports of services increased $0.1 billion from May to 
June. The increase was mostly accounted for by an increase in 
travel ($0.1 billion). Changes in the other categories of 
services exports were relatively small.
    
	Imports of services were virtually unchanged from May to 
June. A decrease in other transportation ($0.1 billion), which 
includes freight and port services, was mostly offset by 
increases of less than $0.1 billion in several categories.
				
	The June 2012 to June 2013 increase in exports of services 
was $3.1 billion or 5.8 percent. The largest increases were in 
other private services ($1.6 billion), which includes items 
such as business, professional, and technical services, 
insurance services, and financial services, in travel ($0.7 
billion), and in royalties and license fees ($0.5 billion). Within 
other private services, the largest increase was in business, 
professional, and technical services.

	The June 2012 to June 2013 increase in imports of 
services was $1.2 billion or 3.2 percent. The largest increases 
were in other private services ($0.6 billion), in other 
transportation ($0.2 billion), and in passenger fares ($0.2 
billion). Within other private services, the largest increase was 
in financial services.
