The Foreign Trade Division is the OFFICIAL U.S. Government source for statistics on U.S. foreign trade, and the premier provider of U.S. foreign trade data products and services to the international trade community.

What types of U.S. foreign trade statistics are available?

This includes information on up to 18,000 import commodity codes, 9,000 export commodity codes, 240 U.S. trading partners, 400 U.S. ports, over 50 states and territories, and 45 districts.

This foreign trade data can be provided in different formats based on several commodity classification systems, including the Harmonized System (HS), Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), and End-Use Commodity Classification System.
