Currently, the USITC does not maintain data in electronic format that goes back further than 1989. The U.S. Census Bureau has a Statistical Abstract Series that dates back to the 1870s, but you will have to read through the documents to search for the information you are looking for.

Due to the current lapse in appropriations, the USITC has ceased regular operations.
