Notes:

On July 27, 2018, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released the results of the comprehensive, or benchmark, revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) which resulted in many changes relative to previously published results.

The Bureau Economic Analysis has changed the reference year for chained dollar estimates from 2002 onward as part of the comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts in 2018. 

Chained (2017) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2017 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

This table is not comparable with the previous'  version since the categories for "Export" and "Import" were changed based on US Bureau of Economic Analysis' reports.

Chained 2009 dollars estimates for earlier years can be found in the 2017 edition of NTS, table 3-4.

Chained 2012 dollars estimates for earlier years can be found in the 2021 edition of NTS, table 3-4.

Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding.
