See technical documentation for a list of U.S. modes not specifically identified on this table. The data for U.S. merchandise imports and exports with Canada and Mexico in Table 6-1c differ from the data for imports and exports reported by Canada and Mexico in tables 6-1a and 6-1b because of differences in how each country defines, collects, and processes what is included in its merchandise trade statistics. See the technical documentation for this table for further discussion. Sources: U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Division, FT920.
