The U.S. international trade deficit decreased to $44.0 billion in September 2010, as exports increased and imports decreased. While exports increased slightly, from $153.6 billion to $154.1 billion, imports were down $2.0 billion to $198.1 billion.
The import change was driven by decreases of $1.9 billion in consumer goods and $1.4 billion in automotive vehicles, parts, and engines. Despite the overall decrease in imports, September did set record highs for imports of capital goods ($39.9 billion) and foods, feeds, and beverages ($7.8 billion).
