Notes
Canada

For imports, the mode of transport information represents the last mode of transport by which the cargo was transported to
the port of clearance in Canada. This may not be the mode of transport by which the cargo arrived at the Canadian port of entry if the cargo are cleared by Canadian Customs at an inland port.

Exports by land modes of transportation in this table represents Canadian trade with a second country that were transshipped via a third country, generally the United States. For exports, the mode of transport information represents the mode of transport by which the international boundary is crossed. For Canadian exports via the United States to other overseas countries, the mode reported would be the mode used to cross the Canadian/U.S. border.

In this table and for both import and export shipments, the category of Other is, for the most part, pipeline movements. Other also includes mail and parcel post and other miscellaneous modes of transport.

Mexico
The value for total trade are definitive, meanwhile data for mode of transportation are preliminary. Pipeline data are included in Other, total trade, which includes postal services and other modes.
