Key: a = air; l = land/port/border crossing; P = preliminary; w
= water port.
Notes: Trade excludes imports of less than $1,250 and exports of
less than $2,500. Air: Includes a low
level (generally less than 2%-3% of the total value) of small user-fee
airports located in the same region. Air gateways not identified by airport
name (e.g., Chicago, IL) include major airport(s) in that area and small
regional airports. Due to Census Bureau confidentiality regulations, courier
operations are included in airport totals for only JFK, Los Angeles, Chicago,
and New Orleans. Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
