NOTES: Transportation-related
goods are motor vehicles and parts, aircraft
and spacecraft and parts, railway vehicles and parts, and ships and boats.
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.
