WHY IT MATTERS
  1. The headline uses Korea Customs data; the item ranking uses US Census data, released about a month later — freight and timing make them differ slightly.
  2. The US deficit with Korea comes up in every tariff talk; vehicles, machinery and electronics dominate.
  3. The chip line uses Korea Customs data, about a month fresher than the US release.
