The National Trade Data are available as full year totals for 1989 through 2008 and Year-To-Current-Quarter for 2008 and 2009. "Year-To-Current-Quarter" is defined as January 1 through the last day of the most recent quarter in the system. ( March 31, June 30, September 30 or December 31 for the specified year). Year-To-Current-Quarter data are not available until First-Quarter 2009 data becomes available. Data are available for individual countries, trade/economic groups, or geographic regions. You can tabulate these statistics using any of three product classification systems: HS (at two- and four-digit levels), NAICS (up to the four-digit level), or SITC (up to the three-digit level). You can choose to display the data for exports, imports, or balance of trade.
