The U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Economic 
Analysis, through the Department of Commerce, announced 
today that total June exports of $125.8 billion and 
imports of $152.8 billion resulted in a goods and services 
deficit of $27.0 billion, up from $26.0 billion in May, 
revised.  June exports were $2.4 billon more than May 
exports of $123.4 billion.  June imports were $3.5 billion 
more than May imports of $149.3 billion.

In June, the goods deficit increased $1.2 billion from May 
to $38.4 billion, and the services surplus increased $0.1 
billion to $11.4 billion.  Exports of goods increased $1.9 
billion to $84.0 billion, and imports of goods increased 
$3.0 billion to $122.4 billion.  Exports of services 
increased $0.5 billion to $41.8 billion, and imports of 
services increased $0.4 billion to $30.4 billion.

In June, the goods and services deficit decreased $33.2 
billion from June 2008.  Exports were down $35.8 billion, or 
22.2 percent, and imports were down $69.0 billion, or 31.1 
percent.

 
Goods

The May to June increase in exports of goods reflected 
increases in industrial supplies and materials ($1.2 billion); 
capital goods ($0.4 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages 
($0.3 billion); and automotive vehicles, parts, and engines 
($0.1 billion).  Consumer goods and other goods were virtually 
unchanged.

The May to June increase in imports of goods reflected increases 
in industrial supplies and materials ($3.9 billion); automotive 
vehicles, parts, and engines ($0.9 billion); foods, feeds, and 
beverages ($0.1 billion); and other goods ($0.1 billion).  
Decreases occurred in consumer goods ($1.7 billion) and capital 
goods ($0.1 billion).

The June 2008 to June 2009 decrease in exports of goods 
reflected decreases in industrial supplies and materials 
($12.4 billion); capital goods ($8.0 billion); automotive 
vehicles, parts, and engines ($5.3 billion); consumer goods 
($1.9 billion); foods, feeds, and beverages ($1.9 billion); and 
other goods ($0.8 billion).

The June 2008 to June 2009 decrease in imports of goods 
reflected decreases in industrial supplies and materials 
($36.3 billion); capital goods ($9.7 billion); automotive 
vehicles, parts, and engines ($9.4 billion); consumer goods 
($7.6 billion); other goods ($0.9 billion); and foods, feeds, 
and beverages ($0.6 billion).



Services

Services exports increased $0.5 billion from May to June.  The 
increase was more than accounted for by increases in other 
private services (which includes items such as business, 
professional, and technical services, insurance services, and 
financial services), travel, other transportation (which includes 
freight and port services), and passenger fares.  Changes in 
other categories of services exports were small.

Services imports increased $0.4 billion from May to June.  The 
increase was mostly accounted for by increases in other private 
services, travel, passenger fares, and direct defense expenditures.  
Changes in other categories of services imports were small.
	
The June 2008 to June 2009 decrease in exports of services was 
$5.4 billion.  The largest decreases were in travel ($1.8 billion), 
other transportation ($1.7 billion), and other private services 
($0.7 billion).  Within other private services, the largest 
decreases were in business, professional, and technical services 
and financial services.

The June 2008 to June 2009 decrease in imports of services was 
$3.8 billion.  The largest decreases were in other transportation 
($2.0 billion), travel ($0.9 billion), and passenger fares 
($0.5 billion).

trade deficit was $27.8 billion, reflecting average exports of 
$122.9 billion and average imports of $150.7 billion.
