USITC - Trade Shifts 2022 Published

Shifts in U.S. Merchandise Trade, 2022 (also called Trade Shifts 2022), 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. Starting this year, Trade Shifts is switching to an online format featuring only data tables and figures.

Part I provides data pertaining to significant trends in merchandise trade by industry sector and partner country, and Part II provides data for ten U.S. industry sectors covering 92 percent of U.S. total trade. Data for two additional merchandise sectors—miscellaneous manufactures and special provisions—are also included in some tables.

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 that covers U.S. merchandise trade from 2018 to 2022.
