a BTS estimated the export
weight for truck, rail, pipeline, and other and unknown based on
value-to-weight ratios from the import data, because export weights for
surface modes are not currently reported. Weight for water and air exports
and imports are from the U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau.
Notes: Value based on
millions of U.S. dollars; weight based on millions of short tons. Percentages
may not add to 100 due to rounding.
U.S. NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) refers to U.S.
trade with Canada and Mexico, our partners in this agreement.
