Shifts in U.S. Merchandise Trade, 2023

Welcome to Shifts in U.S. Merchandise Trade, 2023 (also called Trade Shifts 2023), published by the U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC). Previous Trade Shifts reports included both data tables and figures as well as a narrative discussion of the data. As of the 2022 report, Trade Shifts is exclusively an online format featuring only data tables and figures.

Note that this data presentation uses data on three broad categories of trade: “total exports,” “domestic exports,” and “general imports.” Unless otherwise noted, the export data used in these tables are for domestic exports; some tables also include data on re-exports. The import data used in the tables are for general imports.

As in previous years, this data presentation features a web-based format that optimizes the use of interactive figures and tables as well as a downloadable companion dataset [XLSX, 596 KB] that covers U.S. merchandise trade from 2019 to 2023.
