"NOTE: These figures are carrier data reflecting nonstop bidirectional air trade weight between the United States and other countries and, as such, will differ from U.S. Census Bureau shipper-based merchandise trade statistics. Data for airports, in this table also reflect actual U.S. airports, while data in tables 16, 17, 18, 19, and figure 9 reflect U.S. Customs ports at which air freight activity occurred. Sometimes these Customs ports correspond to the actual airport (e.g., JFK), while in other cases the U.S. Customs port refers to a broader administrative area (e.g., Chicago, which includes O'Hare, Midway, and smaller regional airports).",,,,,,,,,,
