USA Import and Export Trade Data

Import and export patterns vary by region, with most exports leaving from the Gulf Coast (Petroleum Administration for Defense District 3), and imports coming to the East Coast (PADD 1). Record-high refinery runs and increased global demand for petroleum products from the United States continue to push exports higher.

U.S. agricultural exports were valued at $140 billion in 2018, a 1-percent increase relative to 2017. Imports grew by 6 percent in 2018. Imports have grown at a faster rate than exports since 2016, driven in part by strong domestic economic growth.
