NOTES: Transportation-related
goods are motor vehicles and parts,
aircraft and spacecraft and parts, railway vehicles and parts, and ships and
boats. Totals may not equal the sum of parts due to rounding.
These data have not been adjusted for inflation because there is
no specific deflator available for transportation-related goods. In addition,
it is difficult to control for trading partners' inflation rates as well as
currency exchange fluctuations when adjusting the value of internationally
traded goods and services for inflation.
