"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 JFK, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Chicago, and Miami. Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. Water data are preliminary. ",,,,
