Abstract:For the purposes of this report, an export is considered a shipment from any of the 50 states and the District of Columbia to a foreign country. Shipments to U.S. possessions and territories are also treated as exports. We asked the respondent to report the foreign city, country of destination, and mode of transport by which the shipment left the country. We also asked the respondent to report the U.S. port, airport, or border crossing of exit, and to report the "domestic mode" of transport used to reach the U.S. destination. Due to the exclusion of industries outside the scope of the CFS (see the "Industry Coverage" section of this report), these data are not directly comparable to the 2007 merchandise trade exports published by the Department of Commerce. Shipment characteristics, including value, tons, and ton-miles, are presented in summary form in this report. Ton-miles, which is defined as the shipment weight multiplied by the mileage traveled by the shipment, uses domestic mileage only for the calculation. Domestic mileages (i.e., the portion of shipment mileage measured within U.S. borders) are used in calculating the ton-mile measures. If a respondent fails to report a port of exit (POE), then a likely POE is assigned using a detailed set of algorithms in the mileage calculation process.
