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.
See table 14 for top water ports by weight.
