Official release series U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services
When is the next international trade report?
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis calendar puts the next U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services, the international trade report, at 8:30 AM EDT on Thursday, Sep 3, 2026. Every one of the 13 dated entries lands at 8:30 AM Eastern, on a monthly interval, across the run from Jan 8, 2026 to Dec 8, 2026.
Both the dates and the release instants are stated by the BEA calendar subscription file itself, which carries an Eastern timezone and one entry per release. Most entries are 8:30 a.m. Eastern and the file states a later time for a few, which is why each page takes its clock from its own entry rather than from a rule. Nothing here is derived.

What it measuresU.S. International Trade in Goods and Services, in one paragraph
This release reports the value of American goods and services exports and imports for a month, and the deficit or surplus between them. It is published jointly by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Census Bureau.
What JMM reads first
The monthly deficit is volatile and heavily driven by a few categories, so read the goods and services balances separately before drawing any conclusion. Trade also feeds the GDP estimate directly, which makes this release one of the better early reads on whether the next quarterly growth number will surprise.
