The 'Unidentified' state code (XX) is used in U.S. trade statistics to capture export or import records where the origin or destination state cannot be determined or was not reported. This classification typically arises from data reporting gaps, incomplete shipper documentation, or transactions that cannot be attributed to a specific U.S. state. Trade professionals should treat XX-coded records as data quality indicators rather than representing actual trade flows from a geographic location.
The XX or 'Unidentified' code is assigned to trade records where the state of origin (for exports) or destination (for imports) could not be determined from the available documentation, often due to incomplete shipper filings or data processing limitations.
XX-coded records should generally be excluded from state-level trade analysis or treated as a separate data quality category, as they do not represent trade attributable to any specific state and can distort geographic trade flow comparisons.
The U.S. Census Bureau includes unidentified records in national trade totals but flags them separately in state-level trade datasets, allowing analysts to assess the volume of unattributed trade and evaluate overall data completeness.
