USA's foreign trade with Kuwait, exports to Kuwait and imports from Kuwait in Juli 2020


The text of the following analysis is produced by a computer program. The program is a test version and its rule base at this stage is still quite limited.

In Juli Kuwait was USA's 63. largest foreign trade partner. Decrease from the previous month was 10 places. $272 million worth of trade was 0.7 per cent lower than in Juli of the previous year. In Juli the trade balance with Kuwait was $22 million in deficit for United States of America.

The value of imports from Kuwait was 120.6 per cent higher than in Juli of the previous year, thus amounting to $147 million. More than half of the value of imports was in Sitc333 (petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude) representing a share of 59.5 per cent. Other major categories of imports were Sitc334 (petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals (other than crude); preparations, n.e.s., containing by weight 70% or more of petroleum oils or of oils obtained from bituminous minerals, these oils being the basic constituents of the prepar), 35.1 per cent of imports and Sitc931 (special transactions and commodities not classified according to kind) 5.3 %.

The value of exports to Kuwait amounted to more than a third lower relative to the previous year's Juli, thus amounting to $125 million in Juli 2020. The largest product groups of exports were: Sitc874 (measuring, checking, analysing and controlling instruments and apparatus, n.e.s.), which represented a share of 16.9 per cent of total exports, Sitc781 (motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons (other than motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, including the driver), including station-wagons and racing cars) 11.6 % and Sitc782 (motor vehicles for the transport of goods and special-purpose motor vehicles) 6.6 % of the exports.

Compared to the corresponding period in 2019, the value of both imports and exports decreased significantly. The decline in imports was -54.6 % and in the value of exports -30.2 %. The largest value in imports was in Sitc333 (petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals, crude), worth $308 million. In export the largest value had Sitc874 (measuring, checking, analysing and controlling instruments and apparatus, n.e.s.), worth being $152 million. The trade balance between USA and Kuwaitin between January and Juli was in surplus for USA. The timing surplus was $730 million.
