NOTES: Transportation-related
services include passenger fares and freight and port services. They
exclude receipts and payments for travel services, which include purchases of
goods and services (e.g., food, lodging, recreation, gifts, entertainment, and
any incidental expense on a foreign visit).
These data have not been adjusted for inflation, because
there is no specific deflator available for transportation-related services. 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.
