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, including U.S. imports,
exports, and transshipments. Transshipments are shipments neither originating
nor are destined for the United States but passing 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. Pacific Coast incldues ports in Alaska
and Hawaii. One metric ton equals 1.1 short tons.
