International services – Illustration
The Bureau of Economic Analysis prepares and publishes estimates of U.S. cross-border trade in private services and of sales of services by nonbank majority-owned U.S. and foreign affiliates of multinational companies (tables 1, 2, and 3). The two data sets correspond to the two distinct channels through which services are delivered to international markets.
U.S. cross-border trade in private services consists of transactions between U.S. and foreign residents. Cross-border exports and imports of private services represent international trade in the conventional sense and are recorded, in summary form, in the international transactions accounts. These services transactions consist of both trade within multinational companies (intrafirm trade) and trade between unaffiliated parties.
Cross-border services transactions are classified into five broad “standard components.” The components are (1) travel; (2) passenger fares; (3) other transportation, such as freight and port services; (4) royalties and license fees; and (5) other private services, such as financial services, insurance services, and business, professional, and technical services.
Sales of services by nonbank majority-owned U.S. and foreign affiliates of multinational companies are usually transactions between residents of the same country. Sales of services to foreign residents by foreign affiliates of U.S. companies are considered transactions between foreign residents. Purchases of services by U.S. residents from U.S. affiliates of foreign companies are considered transactions between U.S. residents. These sales and purchases are not recorded in the U.S. international transactions accounts, but they are reflected in an ownership-based framework of the U.S. current account, which the Bureau publishes periodically. The estimates are drawn from larger data sets on the operations of U.S. multinational companies and of U.S. affiliates of foreign companies.
Services delivered through nonbank majority-owned affiliates have exceeded those delivered through cross-border trade in recent years. However, for specific types of services, the relative importance of the two channels is often determined by the nature of the service being delivered.

as sales of goods rather than as sales of services, the sales of
services through MOFA’s in construction represent sales in secondary,
nonconstruction, industries. In 2000, sales of goods to foreign
residents by MOFA’s classified in construction were $10.5 billion.

(1.) Because sales resulting from construction activities are recorded
as sales of goods rather than as sales of services, the sales of
services through MOUSA’s classified in construction represent sales
in secondary, nonconstruction industries. In 2000, sales of goods to
U.S. residents by MOUSA’s in construction were estimated to be $25.1
billion. These sales of goods were estimated by subtracting exports
of goods from the total sales of goods.
