NOTES: The commodities listed in the table are the top five commodities in total U.S-NAFTA trade by value.
A major port of entry is defined as being one of the top ten ports of entry on the U.S.-Canada Border or the U.S.-Mexico Border.
Data include both imports and exports.
Ports within each group in the table (Northern and Southern Borders) are ranked in descending order based on total trade volume moving through that port in 2007.
