1 Other includes "flyaway aircraft" (i.e., aircraft moving under its own power from the manufacturer to a customer and not carrying freight), vessels moving under their own power, pedestrians carrying freight, and miscellaneous.
NOTES: Shipments that neither originate nor terminate in the United States (i.e., in-transit or in-bond shipments) are not included here, although they use the U.S. transportation system. These shipments are usually part of Mexico-Canada trade, and simply pass through the United States. Merchandise trade data exclude export shipments valued at less than $2,500 and import shipments valued at less than $1,250. Individual modal totals may not sum to exact export or import totals due to rounding.
