What is a Guam export?  A Guam export is a commodity originating from or shipped from Guam to the United States or a foreign country for sale or trade. Export documents are processed by the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency (GCQA) at its service centers located at the Port Authority of Guam and the A.B. Won Pat International Airport. The Bureau of Statistics and Plans (BSP) collects and compiles these records to produce Guam’s export statistics.

In 2024, Guam adopted the Harmonized Commodity and Coding System (HS), maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO), pursuant to Public Law 37-82. The Harmonized System is an internationally recognized system used to classify commodities traded throughout the world. BSP uses the Harmonized System to classify commodities for Guam’s export statistics, providing a standardized framework for reporting and comparing trade data.

The Bureau of Statistics and Plans is mandated by Public Law 26-76 to conduct investigations, studies, surveys, research, and analysis relating to the physical, human, social, and economic development of Guam and to publish the results. As part of this mandate, BSP compiles external trade statistics to provide information on Guam’s trade activity and economic conditions.

This report presents Guam’s export activity on a quarterly basis, including leading export commodities, export values by country of destination, and percent distributions by commodity group. These statistics provide information on the composition and destination of goods exported from Guam and support economic analysis, research, and public information.
