International Transportation Transactions of the United States, by Type statistics

[In millions of dollars (9,739 represents $9,739,000,000). Data are international transportation transactions recorded for balance of payment purposes (see Table 1307). Receipts include freight on exports carried by U.S.-operated carriers and foreign carrier expenditures in U.S. ports. Payments include freight on imports carried by foreign carriers and U.S. carrier port expenditures abroad. Freight on exports carried by foreign carriers is excluded since such payments are directly or indirectly for foreign account. Similarly, freight on U.S. imports carried by U.S. carriers is a domestic rather than an international transaction. Minus sign (-) indicates excess of payments over receipts]
