1 Includes all container ports in the 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.
NOTE: TEUS = 20-foot equivalent units. One 20-foot container equals 1 TEU while
one 40-foot container equals 2 TEUs. The data in this table include only loaded
containers engaged in U.S. international maritime activity. Data include U.S.
imports, exports, and transshipments. Transshipments neither originate nor are
destined for the United States but pass through it from one foreign country
to another. For example, an automobile component shipped from Japan and destined
for Mexico, may pass through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach before
being trucked to Mexico. Therefore the trade levels will be greater than those
reported in U.S. international trade statistics, which exclude transshipments.
The data also exclude military shipments.
