How these figures are built
The source is Statistics Canada Table 12-10-0099-01, customs-based merchandise trade by HS section, province and U.S. state. Imports are counted in the province where the goods cleared customs, by U.S. state of origin; exports are domestic exports, by province of origin and U.S. state of destination.
Each value is the sum of the latest 12 months in the table, compared with the 12 months before. Two HS sections are left out of every figure: mineral products (section V: crude oil, gas, fuels, electricity) and works of art and antiques (section XXI), whose large, irregular values would hide the freight lanes. 'Other states' (low-value and confidential transactions) is not ranked.
Lane pages leave out section V only where it is at least a tenth of the lane's value, so a lane page can show a slightly higher figure than this table.
