About the Foreign Trade Division (FTD)
The Foreign Trade Division of the U.S. Department of Commerce and U.S.
Census Bureau is responsible for data programs related to the collection,
processing, review, and dissemination of statistical information on United
States export and import trade.
The Foreign Trade Division is the OFFICIAL U.S. Government source
for statistics on U.S. foreign trade, and the premier provider of U.S.
foreign trade data products and services to the international trade community.
What types of U.S. foreign trade statistics are available?
The Foreign Trade Division provides a broad and comprehensive range of
foreign trade statistics that are available on a monthly, annual, and
historical basis. This includes information on up to 18,000 import commodity
codes, 9,000 export commodity codes, 240 U.S. trading partners, 400 U.S.
ports, over 50 states and territories, and 45 districts. Some of the statistics
include quantities, values, shipping weights, methods of transportation
(air or vessel), duties collected, unit prices, and market share. This
foreign trade data can be provided in different formats based on several
commodity classification systems, including the Harmonized System (HS),
Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS), and End-Use Commodity Classification System.
