The export value (exclude U.S. exports to Canada) is the value of exports at the U.S. seaport, airport, or border port of export, based on the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. The value, as defined, excludes the cost of loading the merchandise aboard the exporting carrier and also excludes freight, insurance, and any charges or transportation costs beyond the port of exportation. U.S. exports to Canada are valued at the U.S. seaport, airport, or border port of export in the U.S. and include inland freight charges. Export values, in current dollars, are available for 2008 forward.
