The following is a list and analysis of imports into the United States for 2020 and 2019 in millions of United States dollars.[1][2] The United States imported $2,810.6 billion worth of goods and services in 2020, down $294.5 billion from 2019. This consisted of $2,350.6 billion worth of goods and $460.1 billion worth of services. The goods and services deficit was $678.7 billion in 2020, up $101.9 billion from $576.9 billion in 2019.

As a percentage of U.S. gross domestic product, the goods and services deficit was 3.2% in 2020, up from 2.7% in 2019.[1][2] The large decline in imports in 2020 has been attributed to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Some key highlights of the 2020 data are:
