US trade by year

US imports were $17.5M in the 12 months to Aug 2026, down 40% on the 12 months to Aug 2018. In January 2022 the HS 2022 revision moved some goods between this code and 3006.93, so part of a change across the dashed line can be the revision. This code began with the HS 2017 revision in January 2017, taking goods from 3004.40, so its history starts there.
