I translated that the United States imports more mail then it exports.

Backbone internet companies trade traffic with each other, but the trades aren't always equal so it makes sense for there to be money flowing more in one direction.

The US is saying that the current relationship has costs that exceed the benefits, so the US is going to be declaring their own interpretation of a "fair market rate" to import mail from other countries that aren't receiving the same volume of US mail in return.
