U.S. Integrated Circuits Exports to India, 12 Months

## What this measures

U.S. exports of HS 8542 to India, summed over the twelve months to each month, in billions of current dollars. The first value is December 2013 (twelve months from January 2013).

## Why it matters

The twelve-month total ranks partners without the noise of single months and shows where the chip supply chain runs: where chips are made, where they are packaged and tested, and where the machines that make them come from.

## How to read it

Compare partners at the same month. Exports go to where chips are packaged or built into products, often in Asia, not to the final buyer.

## What it does not say

Packaged chips only; chips inside finished products are not counted. A partner missing from a month traded nothing that month in the Census data (zeros are omitted). Nominal dollars.
