This statistic depicts the total value of U.S. international trade from 2000 to 2024. In 2024, the value of U.S. international exports amounted to about three trillion U.S. dollars; imports amounted to approximately 3.86 trillion U.S. dollars.
As of 2024, the United States had a trade deficit of about *** billion U.S. dollars. The U.S. trade deficit has increased since 2009, peaking in 2022. Most recently, 2023 marked the year when the U.S. trade deficit decreased from the previous year. What is trade deficit? A trade deficit is, quite simply, the total value of a country’s imports of goods and services minus the total value of its exports of goods and services. When a country exports more than it imports, it has a trade surplus, and when it imports more than it exports, it has a trade deficit. A trade deficit can mean one of two things: Either the country is failing to produce enough goods for its citizens, or its citizens are wealthy enough to purchase more goods than the country produces (as is the case with the United States). Trading partners The United States’ top export partners are its closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, due in part to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which, pending ratification, will be replaced by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Regarding imports to the U.S., China takes the top spot, followed by Mexico and Canada.

The United States may be said to have had an adequate set of import and export statistics only since 1821. During the years 1795-1801, import value figures were estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury and the figures for the years 1790-1794 and from 1802-1820 were apparently estimated many years later. In the case of exports, it was required by statute that the dollar value in the statistics should be the value reported by the master of the vessel on which the goods left the country, but it was common practice for the U.S. Collectors of Customs to adjust this reported value quite arbitrarily. By an Act approved February 1820, ``to provide for obtaining accurate statements of the Foreign Commerce of the United States,'' a provision was made for the preparation of statistical accounts of the commerce of the United States with foreign countries by the Register of the Treasury to show the kinds, quantities and values of all articles exported to and of all articles imported from each foreign country. These early and simple beginnings of foreign trade data have developed into the current comprehensive export and import statistical program. The statistics are used extensively by both the public and private sectors of the country.
