Exactly what are the dollars?
For exports and re-exports it is the f.a.s.
(free alongside ship) value defined as the value
at the port of export, based on the transaction price
including inland freight, insurance and other charges
incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the
carrier. It excludes the cost of loading the merchandise,
freight, insurance, and other charges or transportation
costs beyond the port of exportation.
For Imports it is the Customs value. This
is generally defined as the price actually paid or
payable for merchandise when sold for exportation
to the United States, excluding U.S. import duties,
freight, insurance and other charges incurred in
bringing the merchandise to the United States. (This
value approximates f.a.s. value.)
