Main mode is each port’s mode by trade value over the latest twelve months, not its gateway type.

Definitions

Read the figures alike

Every figure keeps its source’s definition; where two sound alike but are measured differently, the difference is here.

Trade
The Trade section is U.S. Census Bureau goods trade between this country and the United States only, month by month.
Latest values and forecasts
Each latest figure is the most recent period the source does not label a projection; for some countries the IMF’s latest years are its staff estimates. Values the IMF projects are labelled “IMF forecast” wherever they appear. They are the IMF’s, not CK Economics’.
