Re: Oakland: Cargo volume on the rise

One sentence makes me wonder about the article:
"The port's total cargo volume increased 6.4 percent in the first seven months of 2016. Exports have gone up 9.1 percent in that time frame, and imports are up 8.6 percent."
If exports are up 9.1% and imports are up 8.6%, how can the total, which should be someplace between the two, be 6.4%?
