Description of the Foreign Trade Statistics Program:Merchandise Trade Statistics

INTRODUCTION

This description covers all phases of the foreign tradestatistics program and may contain portions not pertinent tothis report.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION

Exports

Published information on U.S. exports of merchandisefrom the United States to all countries, except Canada, iscompiled primarily from copies of Shipper’s Export Decla-rations (SED’s) that must be filed with customs officials.The SED is unique among Census Bureau forms since it isnot sent to respondents soliciting responses, as in the caseof surveys. The U.S. Customs Service initially collects theSED at the port of export and subsequently transmits it tothe Census Bureau. Each SED represents a shipment ofone or more kinds of merchandise from one exporter to oneforeign importer on a single carrier. Filing the SED ismandatory under Chapter 9, Title 13, United States Code.Qualified exporters, forwarders, or carriers submit SEDdata by automated means directly to the Bureau of theCensus.

The United States is substituting Canadian import sta-tistics for U.S. exports to Canada in accordance with a1987 Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Cen-sus Bureau, U.S. Customs Service, Canadian Customs,and Statistics Canada. Similarly, under this Memorandumof Understanding, Canada is substituting U.S. import sta-tistics for Canadian exports to the United States. This dataexchange includes only U.S. exports destined for Canadaand does not include shipments destined for third countriesby routes passing through Canada or shipments of certaingrains and oilseeds to Canada for storage prior to expor-tation to a third country. These shipments are reported onand compiled from SED’s.

Department of Defense Military Assistance ProgramGrant-Aid shipments being transported as Department ofDefense cargo are reported directly to the Bureau of theCensus by the Department of Defense.

Imports

Published information on U.S. imports of merchandise iscompiled primarily from automated data submitted throughthe Customs Automated Commercial System. Data are

compiled also from import entry summary forms, ware-house withdrawal forms, and Foreign Trade Zone docu-ments, as required by law to be filed with the U.S. CustomsService. Data on imports of electricity and natural gas fromCanada are obtained from Canadian sources.

COVERAGE

The official U.S. import and export statistics reflect bothgovernment and nongovernment shipments of merchan-dise between foreign countries and the U.S. CustomsTerritory (the 50 States, District of Columbia, and PuertoRico), U.S. Foreign Trade Zones, and the U.S. VirginIslands, without regard to whether or not a commercialtransaction is involved. In general, the statistics record thephysical movement of merchandise between the UnitedStates and foreign countries.

The following types of transactions are excluded fromthe statistics used to compile the merchandise trade bal-ance:

1. United States tradewith U.S. possessions, trade betweenU.S. possessions, and trade between U.S. posses-sions and foreign countries (except Puerto Rico andthe U.S. Virgin Islands)

2. Merchandise shipped in transit through the UnitedStates from one foreign country to another

3. Shipments to the U.S. Armed Forces, including postexchanges, for their own use, as well as U.S. merchan-dise returned by the U.S. Armed Forces for their ownuse

4. Monetary gold and silver

5. Issued monetary coins (in current circulation) of allcomponent metals

6. Bunker fuels and other supplies and equipment for useon departing vessels, planes, or other carriers engagedin foreign trade

7. Shipments of furniture, equipment, and supplies toU.S. government agencies, as well as such merchan-dise when returned to the United States

8. Imports for repair under warranty

9. Some other transactions not considered to be of sta-tistical importance, such as shipments of personal andhousehold effects of travelers and certain temporaryexports and imports.

Exports

Exports measure the total physical movement of mer-chandise out of the United States to foreign countrieswhether such merchandise is exported from within the U.S.Customs Territory or from a U.S. Customs bonded ware-house or a U.S. Foreign Trade Zone. The following areexamples of some types of shipments that are included inthe statistics but are of such a nature that their inclusionmerits separate mention:

1. Department of Defense Military Assistance ProgramGrant-Aid shipments under the ForeignAssistanceAct.

2. Foreign military sales.

3. Shipments of commodities for economic assistanceunder the Foreign Assistance Act. (Totals for exportsunder this program are published quarterly or as theybecome available.)

4. Shipments of agricultural commodities under P.L. 480(Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of1954) as amended, and related laws. (Totals for exportsunder this program are published as the data becomeavailable from the Department of Agriculture. Addi-tional information may be obtained from the EconomicResearch Service of the Department of Agriculture.)

5. Sales of U.S. vessels to purchasers in foreign coun-tries.

6. Satellites launched by U.S. space vehicles limited to:(1) foreign origin, and (2) launched on behalf of inter-national organizations.

Domestic Exports

Exports of domestic merchandise include (1) commodi-ties that are grown, produced, or manufactured in theUnited States; and (2) commodities of foreign origin thathave been changed in the United States, including U.S.Foreign Trade Zones, from the form in which they wereimported, or that have been enhanced in value by furthermanufacture in the United States.

Foreign Exports (Re-Exports)

Exports of foreign merchandise (re-exports) consist ofcommodities of foreign origin that have entered the UnitedStates for consumption or into U.S. Customs bondedwarehouses or U.S. Foreign Trade Zones, and that, at thetime of exportation, are in substantially the same conditionas when imported.

Imports

Imports of merchandise include commodities of foreignorigin as well as goods of domestic origin returned to theUnited States with no change in condition, or after havingbeen processed and/or assembled in other countries. (Seesubsection entitled ‘‘American Goods Returned After Pro-cessing and/or Assembly’’.)

For statistical purposes, imports are classified by the typeof transaction:

1. Merchandise entered for immediate consumption (duty-free merchandise and merchandise on which duty ispaid on arrival)

2. Merchandise withdrawn for consumption from U.S.Customs bonded warehouses and U.S. Foreign TradeZones

3. Merchandise entered into U.S. Customs bonded ware-houses and U.S. Foreign Trade Zones from foreigncountries.

Bonded Warehouses

Bonded warehouses are authorized by U.S. Customs forstorage or manufacturing of goods on which payment ofduties is deferred until the goods are removed into the U.S.Customs Territory. These goods are not subject to duties ifre-shipped to foreign points.

Foreign Trade Zones

Foreign Trade Zones are enclosed areas, operated aspublic utilities, under control of U.S. Customs, with facilitiesfor handling, storing, manipulating, manufacturing, andexhibiting goods. The merchandise may be exported,destroyed, or sent into the U.S. Customs Territory from thezone, in the original package or otherwise. It is subject tocustoms duties if sent into U.S. Customs Territory, but notif re-shipped to foreign points.

American Goods Returned After Processingand/or Assembly

Domestically produced goods are shipped from theUnited States to other countries for processing and/orassembly and then returned to this country. Imports con-taining U.S. content that qualify for special duty-free treat-ment on the U.S. portion fall into the following groups:

1. Articles of metal manufactured in the United States,which were exported for further processing abroad andreturned to the United States for more processing.

2. Textile articles assembled abroad and entered under aSpecial Access Program or Special Regime.

3. Articles assembled abroad from components producedin the United States, except textile articles enteredunder a Special Access Program or Special Regime.

2 FT947/95 U.S. EXPORTS AND IMPORTS BY HARMONIZED COMMODITY

Separate statistics are available onAmerican goods returnedafter processing and/or assembly abroad.

General Imports

‘‘General imports’’ measure the total physical arrivals ofmerchandise from foreign countries, whether such mer-chandise enters consumption channels immediately or isentered into bonded warehouses or Foreign Trade Zonesunder customs custody.

Imports for Consumption

‘‘Imports for consumption’’ measure the total of merchan-dise that has physically cleared through customs, eitherentering consumption channels immediately, or enteringafter withdrawal for consumption from bonded warehousesunder customs custody or from Foreign Trade Zones.Many countries use the term ‘‘special imports’’ to designatestatistics compiled on this basis.

STATISTICAL MONTH

The month of importation is the month in which the U.S.Customs Service releases the merchandise to the importer.The month of exportation is based on the date when themerchandise leaves the United States. (For vessel or airshipments, it is the date when the carrier departs or iscleared from the port of export.)

MERCHANDISE TRADE BALANCE

The merchandise trade balance represents the differ-ence between U.S. exports based on free alongside ship(f.a.s.) values and U.S. general imports based on customsvalues. (See subsection entitled ‘‘Valuation’’.) This balancecorresponds to a measurement of the international pay-ments or credit flows resulting from the physical movementof goods between the United States and foreign countries.Monthly balances are based on seasonally adjusted data.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT

The Census Bureau adjusts the merchandise trade datafor seasonal and working-day variations at the most detailedend-use level possible. These detailed data are thensummed up to the one-digit level for release with themonthly merchandise trade totals.

The seasonal adjustment procedure, based upon amultiplicative model, estimates the monthly movements aspercents above or below the general level of the series,unlike other methods that redistribute the seasonal excesses

and deficits over the calendar year. As a result, thecalendar year totals will differ from the unadjusted totals,with the differences generally being quite small in percent-age terms.

The seasonally adjusted data also are provided to theBureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) for use in compilingthe quarterly National Income and ProductAccounts (NIPA’s).The BEA supplements these data in the NIPA’s withquarterly adjustments for six of the end-use categories thatexhibit seasonality on a quarterly basis but not on amonthly basis. Because of the extremely variable move-ments of the data series for aircraft, users studying datatrends may wish to analyze aircraft separately from othertrade.

The one-digit level end-use categories provide data forthe following broad aggregates: (1) Foods, feeds, andbeverages; (2) Industrial supplies and materials; (3) Capitalgoods, except automotives; (4) Automotive vehicles, parts,and engines; (5) Consumer goods (nonfood), except auto;and (6) Other merchandise. This seasonal adjustmentprocedure is designed to reflect seasonal patterns at themost detailed commodity levels. The adjustment is made atthat end-use commodity level for which significant stableseasonality is identified.

The use of the end-use commodity classification systemfor seasonal adjustment ensures methodological consis-tency with the quarterly adjusted balance of trade datapublished by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) andreflects the BEA coding descriptions that combine data intobroad categories based upon principal uses of the com-modities.

The Summary of U.S. Export and Import MerchandiseTrade (FT900) for each month includes revisions for car-ryover to the prior month’s aggregate unadjusted andseasonally adjusted (current and constant dollar) export,import, and trade balance figures, as well as to the end-usetotals. These revisions do not appear in other foreign tradereports.

Tables of the seasonal factors are available free ofcharge from the Foreign Trade Division. Historical data, aswell as the detailed unadjusted and adjusted data, areavailable on a cost basis on either hard copy or diskette.

CONSTANT DOLLAR ADJUSTMENT

Effective with January 1990 statistics, the Census Bureauis publishing, on an experimental basis, seasonally adjustedmerchandise trade data on a constant dollar basis (1987=100).This is a requirement of the Omnibus Trade and Competi-tiveness Act of 1988. Publication of these additional dataimproves the ability of users to examine trends in importand export volumes. Because merchandise trade is vola-tile, cumulations of data over at least a 3-month period arerecommended in order to identify underlying trends.

These data are adjusted for price change using monthlydeflators developed in accordance with the deflators usedin the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA’s)


published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).These deflators are based upon price indexes and defla-tors produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),BEA, and other sources. All series are adjusted at thelowest possible end-use level. (See discussion of end-usecommodity category under subsection entitled ‘‘Commod-ity Classifications’’.)

VALUATION

Note that, in the FT895 tables, the ‘‘-’’ indicates that thevalue is more than 1 kg and less than 1,000 kg (base is1,000 kg and data below 1,000 kg are rounded up to 1,000kg).

Customs Import Value

The customs import value is the value of imports asappraised by the U.S. Customs Service in accordance withthe legal requirements of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.This value is generally defined as the price actually paid orpayable for merchandise when sold for exportation to theUnited States, excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insur-ance, and other charges incurred in bringing the merchan-dise to the United States. The term ‘‘price actually paid orpayable’’ means the total payment (whether direct orindirect, and exclusive of any costs, charges, or expensesincurred for transportation, insurance, and related servicesincident to the international shipment of the merchandisefrom the country of exportation to the place of importationin the United States) made, or to be made, for importedmerchandise by the buyer to, or for the benefit of, the seller.In the case of transactions between related parties, therelationship between buyer and seller should not influencethe customs value.

In those instances where assistance was furnished to aforeign manufacturer for use in producing an article that isimported into the United States, the value of the assistancemust be included in the value reported for the merchan-dise. Such ‘‘assists’’ include both tangible and intangibleassistance, such as machinery, tools, dies and molds, blueprints, copyrights, research and development, and engi-neering and consulting services. If the value of these‘‘assists’’ is identified and separately reported, it is sub-tracted from the value during statistical processing. How-ever, where it is not possible to isolate the value of‘‘assists,’’ they are included. In these cases, the unit valuesmay be increased due to the inclusion of such ‘‘assists.’’

Import Charges

The import charges represent the aggregate cost of allfreight, insurance, and other charges (excluding U.S. importduties) incurred in bringing the merchandise from along-side the carrier at the port of exportation in the country ofexportation and placing it alongside the carrier at the firstport of entry in the United States. In the case of overlandshipments originating in Canada or Mexico, such costsshall include freight, insurance, and all other charges,costs, and expenses incurred in bringing the merchandisefrom the point of origin (where the merchandise begins itsjourney to the United States) in Canada or Mexico to thefirst port of entry.

C.I.F. Import Value

The cost, insurance, and freight (c.i.f.) value representsthe landed value of the merchandise at the first port ofarrival in the United States. It is computed by adding‘‘Import Charges’’ to the ‘‘Customs Import Value’’ (seeimmediately preceding subsections for definitions) andtherefore excludes U.S. import duties.

Dutiable Value of Imports and Calculated Duty

The dutiable value represents, in general, the customsvalue of foreign merchandise imported into the UnitedStates that is subject to duty. The calculated duty repre-sents the estimated import duties collected. Estimated dataare calculated based on the applicable rate(s) of duty asshown in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the UnitedStatesAnnotated forStatisticalReportingPurposes (HTSUSA).

F.A.S. Export Value (Excluding Exports toCanada)

The free alongside ship (f.a.s.) value is the value ofexports at the U.S. seaport, airport, or border port of export,based on the transaction price, including inland freight,insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the mer-chandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exporta-tion. The value, as defined, excludes the cost of loading themerchandise aboard the exporting carrier and also excludesfreight, insurance, and any charges or transportation costsbeyond the port of exportation.


U.S. Exports to Canada

The use of Canada’s import data to produce U.S. exportdata requires some adjustments to make the two compa-rable. U.S. exports are valued at the U.S. seaport, airport,or border port of export in the United States and includeinland freight charges. Canadian imports are valued at thepoint of origin in the United States and do not include inlandfreight to the U.S. port of exit. To compensate, Canadaadds an estimated 4.5 percent of the value to eachtransaction to cover inland freight (except for shipmentswhere freight is not a consideration, e.g., large aircraft,vessels, and drilling platforms).

Average monthly exchange rates as quoted by theFederal Reserve Board are applied to adjust the Canadianimport data to U.S. dollars. A formula for converting U.S.total exports to corresponding Canadian imports is pro-vided in the initial release of the statistics (FT900), alongwith the monthly conversion rate.

COMMODITY CLASSIFICATIONS

The export statistics are initially collected and compiledin terms of approximately 8,000 commodity classificationsin Schedule B, Statistical Classification of Domestic andForeign Commodities Exported from the United States.Schedule B is a U.S. Bureau of the Census publication andis based on the Harmonized Commodity Description andCoding System (Harmonized System).

The import statistics are initially collected and compiledin terms of approximately 14,000 commodity classificationsin the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United StatesAnnotated for Statistical Reporting Purposes (HTSUSA),an official publication of the U.S. International Trade Com-mission. The HTSUSA is the U.S. import version of theHarmonized System.

The United States and Canada both compile theirmerchandise trade statistics in terms of the HarmonizedSystem; however, they have different annotations beyondthe basic six-digit codes.

Approximately 80 percent of the U.S. Schedule B exportclassifications are directly comparable to Canadian importclassifications. These classifications account for 85 to 90percent of the total value of U.S. exports to Canada. Manyof the remaining 20 percent of the Schedule B classifica-tions represent little or no trade with Canada. In thesecases, the Canada import code is recoded to a singleSchedule B, usually the class with the most trade or theresidual classification for the root six-digit HarmonizedSystem code.

There are some instances where the U.S. and CanadianCustoms agencies do not agree on the six-digit Harmo-nized System code under which a particular commodity orgroup of commodities should be classified. In these cases,each statistical agency may classify under the six-digitcode designated by its national customs agency. Efforts bythe U.S. and Canadian customs agencies to align detailstatistical classifications will continue over the next severalyears.

In some reports, the HTSUSA and Schedule B classifi-cations are rearranged and summarized into other classi-fication systems as follows:

1. Standard International Trade Classification (SITC-UnitedNations Statistical Papers, Series M, No. 34/Rev. 3).

The SITC is a statistical classification of the commodi-ties entering external trade designed to provide thecommodity aggregates needed for purposes of eco-nomic analysis and to facilitate the international com-parison of trade-by-commodity data.

The Harmonized System and SITC Revision 3 areinterrelated. The rearrangement of import and exportdata reported in terms of the Harmonized System intothe SITC allows for an additional means of comparisonbetween the United States and its trading partners interms of commodity classification and trade statistics.

Certain foreign trade reports present HTS and Sched-ule B classifications summarized into approximately3,000 five-digit SITC codes.

Within the SITC framework, ‘‘Manufactured Goods’’includes all products classified in groups 5 through 9.Manufactured goods conform to the SITC sections thatinclude chemicals and related products, n.s.p.f. (notspecifically provided for); manufactured goods classi-fied chiefly by material; machinery and transport equip-ment; miscellaneous manufactured articles, n.s.p.f.;and commodities and transactions not classified else-where.

2. Standard Industrial Classification (SIC-Office of Man-agement and Budget, 1987).

The rearrangement of the import and export data into astructure related to the statistical classification of prod-ucts by industry facilitates the comparison of the U.S.import and export statistics with data related to thedomestic production and other U.S. economic statis-tics.

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and Schedule Bclassifications are summarized into approximately 450four-digit SIC-based import and approximately 430four-digit SIC-based export codes.

3. End-Use Commodity Category.

The HTS and Schedule B classifications are summa-rized into six principal ‘‘end-use’’ categories and furthersubdivided into about 140 broad commodity groupings.These categories are used in developing seasonallyadjusted and constant dollar totals. The concept ofend-use demand was developed for balance of pay-ments purposes by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.(See subsection entitled ‘‘Seasonal Adjustment’’.)

4. Agricultural and Nonagricultural Commodities.

Agricultural commodities consist of nonmarine foodproducts, natural fibers, unmanufactured tobacco, and


other farm products subject to federal legislation suchas Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Someprocessed agricultural commodities are included if thevalue added by manufacturing accounts for less than50 percent of the final value of shipments is reported inthe latest Census of Manufactures. Examples of pro-cessed agricultural commodities include cereal flours,dairy products, canned meats, canned fruits and veg-etables, vegetable oils, animal hides, fur pelts, wine,and beer. Textiles, leather products, distilled bever-ages, forestry, and fishery products are classified asnonagricultural commodities.

Assignments of individual HTS and Schedule B clas-sifications generally are determined by the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture and differ from the guidelines in theStandard Industrial (SIC) Classification of the UnitedStates.

5. Advanced Technology Products (ATP’s).

Approximately 500 of the HTS and Schedule B com-modity classification codes used in reporting U.S.exports and imports are identified as ‘‘advanced tech-nology’’ codes that must meet the following criteria:

a. The code contains products whose technology isfrom a recognized high technology field (e.g., bio-technology).

b. These products represent leading edge technologyin that field.

c. Such products constitute a significant part of allitems covered in the selected classification code.

This product and commodity-basedmeasure of advancedtechnology differs from broader SIC industry-basedmeasures that include all commodities produced by aparticular industry group, regardless of the level oftechnology embodied in the commodities.

COUNTRY DESIGNATIONS

Country Classification

The names and codes of the countries of the world arelisted in Schedule C, Classification of Country and TerritoryDesignations for U.S. Foreign Trade Statistics, the systemused for publishing both import and export country statis-tics. Schedule C is arranged in geographic order accordingto continents. Countries and territories are listed in sequencewithin each continent, generally from north to south andwest to east. The classifications appearing in Schedule Cconform to those prescribed by the International Organiza-tion for Standardization (ISO) and are recommended byISO for international exchange. Schedule C is published asa statistical annex in HTS and as a part of Schedule B.

Export Country of Destination

Country of destination for exports is the country wherethe goods are to be consumed, further processed, ormanufactured, as known to the shipper at the time of

exportation. If the shipper does not know the country ofultimate destination, the shipment is credited to the lastcountry to which the shipper knows that the merchandisewill be shipped in the same form as when exported.

Import Country of Origin

Country of origin for imports is the country where themerchandise was grown, mined, or manufactured, in accor-dance with U.S. Customs Regulations. In instances wherethe country of origin cannot be determined, transactionsare credited to the country of shipment.

Import Country Subcodes

Certain foreign trade reports show the following countrysubcodes to indicate special tariff treatment afforded someimported articles:

Code Definition

OGN Country of origin; no special program claimed byimporter

SHP Country of shipment; country of origin unknown

GSP Articles imported under the Generalized Systemof Preferences (GSP) provisions of the HTS

PTA Articles imported under the provisions of theUnited States - Canada Automotive ProductsTrade Act

ACA Articles imported under the provisions of theAgreement on Trade in Civil Aircraft

CFT Articles imported under the provisions of theUnited States - Canada Free-Trade AgreementImplementation Act of 1988

CBA Articles imported under the provisions of theCaribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act of 1983

IFT Articles imported under the provisions of theIsrael Free-Trade Implementation Act of 1985

CFA Articles imported under the Compact of FreeAssociations Act

Statistical Presentation

Abbreviated country designations are used in lieu ofcomplete country names in the foreign trade program.Numerical codes are used for automated purposes. Alpha-betical abbreviations are used for published reports.

The designation UNIDENT (Unidentified Countries) inthe export statistics reflects shipments of certain grains andoilseeds for storage in Canada but ultimately destined forthird countries, the specific country of ultimate destinationbeing unknown at the time of shipment. This is not a part ofthe United States/Canada Data Exchange. Annually, by


Special Announcement, based on information supplied bythe U.S. Department of Agriculture, specific country ofdestination information on exports of such grains andoilseeds is published. This designation also includes sat-ellites launched in the United States on behalf of interna-tional organizations.

The designation OTH CTY used in some reports repre-sents the total for countries from or to which imports orexports of the particular commodity averaged less than$50,000 per month on a cumulative year-to-date basis.

The major world areas for which foreign trade data areshown represent individual Schedule C countries or group-ings of several countries into geographic areas or eco-nomic unions.

QUANTITY AND SHIPPING WEIGHT

Quantity

Units of quantity shown are published in terms of theunits specified in the HTS and Schedule B for eachclassification. When two units of quantity are required foran item in the HTS or Schedule B, the first or primary unitis shown along with the value.

Also, specific to the FT895 tables, a ‘‘0’’ in the ‘‘NetQuantity’’ column means that no quantity has been reportedfor that particular commodity.

Shipping Weight

Shipping weight represents the gross weight in kilo-grams of shipments, including the weight of moisturecontent, wrappings, crates, boxes, and containers (otherthan cargo vans and similar substantial outer containers).Shipping weight information is available for shipments byvessel and air only.

Also, specific to the FT895 tables, a ‘‘0’’ in the ‘‘ShippingWeight’’ column means that no shipping weight has beenreported for that particular commodity.

CUSTOMS DISTRICTS

District and Port Classification

The names and codes of the customs districts and portsare listed in Schedule D, Classification of U.S. CustomsDistricts and Ports for Foreign Trade Statistics. The geo-graphical limits of each district are published in the U.S.Customs regulations. Schedule D is published as a statis-tical annex in HTS and as a part of Schedule B.

District of Exportation

1. Vessel or air - the customs district in which the mer-chandise is loaded on the vessel or aircraft that takesthe merchandise out of the country.

2. Rail, truck, pipeline, or other overland transporta-tion - the customs district through which the merchan-dise crosses the U.S. border into foreign territory.

3. Aircraft exported under their own power are credited tothe customs district from which they are flown out ofthe United States.

Import District of Entry

The district in which merchandise clears customs forentry into consumption channels, bonded warehouses, orForeign Trade Zones.

Import District of Unlading

The district where merchandise is unloaded from theimporting vessel or aircraft.

Statistical Presentation

Abbreviated customs district designations are used insteadof complete names in the foreign trade program. Numericalcodes are used for automated purposes. Alphabeticalabbreviations are used for published reports.

Special Districts

The following types of shipments are included for statis-tical purposes in special customs districts and are notreported by geographical location of the individual customsdistrict of entry or exportation:

1. Vessels under their own power or afloat (imports andexports).

2. Low-value imports and exports (see subsection entitled‘‘Low-Value Statistics’’).

3. Mail shipments (exports only).

4. Norfolk, VA - Charleston, SC - Mobile, AL (exports ofbituminous coal). See discussion of customs districtsunder subsection entitled ‘‘Sources of Error’’.

5. Wilmington, NC - Savannah, GA (exports of cottonlinter pulp). See discussion of customs districts undersubsection entitled ‘‘Sources of Error’’.

STATE STATISTICS

Export data by State denote the State (as reported bythe exporter or agent on the Shipper’s Export Declaration)from which the merchandise actually starts its journey tothe port of export. This may not be, necessarily, the Statewhere the merchandise is grown, produced, or manufac-tured, nor necessarily the actual location of the exporter. Inthe case of consolidated shipments, it is the State of thecommodity of greatest value or the State of consolidation.


Foreign Trade Zone shipments are included in the U.S.total and States/Territories total, and are distributed amongindividual States and territories. A separate Foreign TradeZone total is shown for reference only.

LOW-VALUE STATISTICS

Exports

Export statistics are fully compiled on shipments to allcountries, except Canada, where the value of commoditiesclassified under each individual Schedule B number is over$2,500. Value data for such commodities valued under$2,501 are estimated for individual countries using factorsbased on the ratios of low-value shipments to individualcountry totals for past periods. The estimates for low-valueshipments are shown under a single Schedule B numberand are omitted from the statistics for the detailed com-modity classifications. Shipments valued under $2,501 toall countries, except Canada, represent slightly less than2.5 percent of the monthly value of U.S. exports to thosecountries.

As a result of the data exchange between the UnitedStates and Canada, the United States has adopted theCanadian import exemption level for its export statistics onshipments to Canada. The Canadian import exemptionlevel is based on total value per shipment rather than onvalue per commodity classification line item. Prior to dataexchange each month, the United States furnishes Canadawith a factor to convert data reported on Canadian importdocuments from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. Lineitems reported on documents where the total shipmentvalue is the equivalent of $900 (Canada) or more areincluded in the appropriate Schedule B classifications inchapters 1 through 97. Out of this group, those itemsvalued $2,500 (United States) or less are assigned to thespecial customs district for low-value exports with nomethod of transportation detail. The remaining items, i.e.,those valued over $2,500 (United States) are publishedwith both customs district and method of transportationdetail. Items reported on Canadian documents having atotal shipment value equivalent to less than $900 (Canada)are published under a single Schedule B number estab-lished for Canadian low-value shipments and certain othershipments that Canada does not identify by kind. Suchshipments represent 2 percent of the monthly value of U.S.exports to Canada.

Imports

Import statistics are fully compiled on shipments valuedover $1,250 or, under certain textile programs, for anyarticle that must be reported on a formal entry. Value datafor shipments that are valued under $1,251 and that do nothave to be reported on formal entries are estimated forindividual countries, using factors based on the ratios oflow-value shipments to individual country totals for pastperiods. The estimates for low-value shipments are shown

under a single HTS number. They are omitted from thestatistics for the detailed commodity classifications. Thetotal value excluded represents slightly less than 1 percentof the monthly import value.

TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS

Method of Transportation

The transportation statistics are presented in terms ofthree categories (vessel, air, and all methods), based onthe method of transportation by which the merchandisearrived in or departed from the United States. In someinstances, shipments between the United States and coun-tries abroad enter or depart through Canada or Mexico.Such shipments are recorded under the method of trans-portation by which they enter or depart the United Statesregardless of the transportation mode between Canada orMexico and the country of origin or destination.

There are some differences in the coverage of thesestatistics, primarily as follows:

1. The data for all methods of transportation includeexports and general imports by vessel, air, truck, rail,air mail, parcel post, and other methods of transporta-tion.

2. The data for vessel and air exports and general importsrepresent waterborne and airborne shipments only(merchandise actually leaving or arriving in the UnitedStates aboard a vessel or an aircraft).

3. Imports and exports of (a) vessels moving under theirown power or afloat and (b) aircraft flown into or out ofthe United States are included in the all methods databut excluded from the vessel and air statistics.

4. Mail and parcel post shipments (including those trans-ported by vessel or air) are included in the all methodsdata but excluded from the vessel and air statistics.

5. Low-value shipments are included in the all methodsdata but excluded from the vessel and air statistics.

Types of Vessel Service

Waterborne statistics are presented in terms of type ofservice: (1) liner; (2) irregular or tramp; and (3) tanker.

Liner service is that type of service offered by a regularline operator of vessels on berth. The itineraries and sailingschedules of vessels in liner service are predeterminedand fixed.

Irregular (or tramp) service is that type of serviceafforded by vessels, other than tanker vessels, that arechartered or otherwise hired for the carriage of goods onspecial voyages. Vessels in this type of service are not onberth and their sailing schedules are not predetermined orfixed.

Tanker vessels are primarily designed for the carriage ofliquid cargoes in bulk. All others are classified as dry cargo.


Intransit Shipments

Shipments of merchandise transported in bond throughthe United States en route from one foreign country toanother without having been entered as an import arecalled intransit shipments. The intransit statistics includeonly inbound or outbound merchandise moving by vessel.

Vessel entrances and clearances by Customs districtare published monthly.

U.S. TRADE WITH PUERTO RICO AND U.S.POSSESSIONS

Source of Information

Statistics on shipments from the United States to PuertoRico and the Virgin Islands, and on shipments from PuertoRico to the United States, are compiled from informationfurnished on SED’s, which must be filed with customsofficials, and shipments by qualified exporters who havebeen authorized to submit data by automated meansdirectly to the Bureau of the Census.

Statistics on shipments from the U.S. Virgin Islands andother U.S. possessions to the United States are compiledfrom automated data submitted through the Customs Auto-mated Commercial System and from import documentsfiled with Customs officials.

Data on shipments from the United States to other U.S.possessions, as well as between the possessions, are notcompiled.

Coverage

Statistics are separately published covering shipments(1) between the United States and Puerto Rico, (2) betweenthe United States (including Puerto Rico) and the U.S.Virgin Islands, and (3) from other U.S. possessions to theUnited States. U.S. possessions refers to those listed inSchedule C, Classification of Country and Territory Desig-nations for U.S. Foreign Trade Statistics.

Previous discussions and definitions relating to theexport statistics should be applied to statistics on ship-ments from the United States to Puerto Rico and the U.S.Virgin Islands, and on shipments from Puerto Rico to theUnited States. Similarly, previous discussions and defini-tions relating to the import statistics should be applied tostatistics on shipments from the U.S. Virgin Islands andother U.S. possessions to the United States.

Trade With Foreign Countries

Puerto Rico is a customs district within the U.S. Cus-toms Territory, and its trade with foreign countries isincluded in the U.S. export and import statistics. The U.S.export and import statistics include merchandise tradebetween the U.S. Virgin Islands and foreign countries eventhough the Virgin Islands of the United States are not

officially a part of the U.S. Customs Territory. Data on tradeof other U.S. outlying possessions with foreign countriesare not compiled by the United States.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Sources of Error

The procedures used to compile the statistics includeprocessing checks designed to protect the accuracy of thestatistics to the fullest practicable extent. Export and importfigures are subject to the possibility of errors that may arisefrom incorrect reporting and/or processing of informationas to commodity classification, net quantity, value, andother statistical factors, month of inclusion (see subsectionentitled ‘‘Carryover’’), and errors that may result from theestimation of certain shipments. (See the subsection entitled‘‘Low-Value Statistics’’.)

Carryover

Carryover is the term used to identify the trade recordsreceived and/or processed too late for inclusion with recordsfor that transaction month. There are several causes forcarryover. Among them is the customs procedure thatallows importers to file import documentation up to 10workdays after the date of release of the merchandise.Processing problems, such as rejection of a shipmentbecause the data failed to meet certain edit criteria estab-lished to protect the accuracy of the statistics, also contrib-ute to carryover. The current carryover rate is 0.5 percentfor exports and 2.5 percent for imports.

Each month, in the Summary of U.S. Export and ImportMerchandise Trade (FT900) only, the total import, export,and trade balance figures, as well as the end-use totals forthe prior month, are adjusted for carryover. SITC andcountry detail data are not revised.

Estimated Calculated Duty

Estimates of calculated duty do not necessarily reflectamounts of duty paid and should, therefore, be used withcaution. The figures may be somewhat overstated as aresult of the inclusion in the figures of some U.S. productsreturned after processing or assembly abroad, for which aportion of the value is eligible for duty-free consideration. Incases where articles are dutiable at various or specialrates, a dutiable value is shown, but no duty is calculated.Estimates of calculated duty are understated to the extentthat these situations exist.

Shipments Not Classified by Commodity

Single classifications are provided for the followingshipments without commodity detail:

1. Exports to all countries, except Canada, valued under$2,501.


2. Exports to Canada, reported on Canadian documentshaving a total shipment value less than $900 (Canada).

3. Exports to all countries, except Canada, valued $2,501through $10,000 that are reported on Shipper’s ExportDeclarations without a valid Schedule B number. (TheUnited States/Canada data exchange allows that por-tion of the value formerly shown under this classifica-tion as exports to Canada to be distributed among theappropriate commodity classifications.)

4. Exports of goods of Canadian origin being returned toCanada.

5. Exports of goods of other foreign origin being returnedto Canada.

6. Import transactions valued under $1,251 (and notrequiring formal entry).

Classifications other than those listed above exclude theinformation shown under these provisions and are under-counted to the extent that such shipments are made.

Comparison of Commodity Data

The omission of a commodity number from certainreports does not necessarily mean that there were noexports or imports of the commodity during the month. It ispossible that some shipments may not be classified bycommodity (see the preceding subsection).

Data users are cautioned that comparison of U.S.exports with corresponding Canadian import data at detailedcommodity levels is not recommended. Corrections, anddifferences in classification interpretation and in editing andprocessing environments make these comparisons uncer-tain.

In addition, the comparison of data on U.S. exports after1989 with data for prior years at levels other than for totalexports and exports by country may show distortion. Thesedistortions may result from the availability of detailed datafor undocumented exports to Canada that were previouslyestimated only at the total level. Distortions may also resultfrom the changeover to the Harmonized System, effectivewith the January 1989 statistics.

When publication of data under a particular commodityclassification causes disclosure of an individual firm’stransactions on a world-wide basis, it is sometimes neces-sary to combine several classifications into one. Eventhough the detail is reported, it is not published.

Country Designation

Statistics tend to be overcounted for shipments totrans-shipment countries such as Hong Kong and theNetherlands and undercounted for other countries. Further,since the export statistics reflect the country of destination

only as known to the exporter at time of shipment, thestatistics will not reflect any further distributions of themerchandise made after the shipment leaves the UnitedStates.

Quantity

Quantity data for shipments of one commodity to or froma specific country may not be published when the statisticsdisclose a particular company’s transactions with thatcountry. Similarly, quantity data for shipments of one com-modity to or from all countries may not be published whendisclosure occurs on a world-wide basis.

Customs District

Statistics for two or more customs districts may becombined and published under an arbitrary designation, orshipping weight may be excluded from an individual cus-toms district as a solution to disclosure situations. Conse-quently, statistics for individual ports may be understateddue to the suppression of the weight of the affectedcommodities.

State Data

The term ‘‘Not Specified’’ represents instances whereexporters have reported more than one State of origin orwhere the designation ‘‘US’’ has been reported. Transac-tions originating in a Foreign Trade Zone for which nonumber or State designation is reported are also includedunder ‘‘Not Specified’’.

Other designations are ‘‘Re-exports’’, ‘‘Estimated Ship-ments,’’ and ‘‘Unreported’’. Those shipments designated as‘‘Re-exports’’ (foreign exports) are exports having a foreigncountry as the point of origin. The ‘‘Unreported’’ designa-tion includes those cases where either no State of originwas reported or an undecipherable abbreviationwas reported.See the subsection entitled ‘‘Low-Value Statistics’’ for adiscussion of such shipments.

REVISIONS TO THE STATISTICS

Revisions to the import and export statistics occur inseveral ways. Monthly, the aggregate import, export andtrade balance figures, as well as the end-use totals for theprior month, are adjusted for carryover (data receivedand/or processed too late for inclusion in the propermonth). These revisions will appear only in the Summary ofU.S. Export and Import Merchandise Trade (FT900).

Revisions to the import and export statistics in the formof errata are issued quarterly and are available free ofcharge upon request. These errata provide corrections tostatistics issued in prior months’ foreign trade reports. Thedata are presented by statistical month in commoditynumber arrangement only. The revisions are shown incommodity classification, by country, by customs districtorder as net amounts to be added to or subtracted from the


previously issued statistics. Shipments by all methods oftransportation combined are reflected. There are no sepa-rate data for shipments by vessel or by air.

Annually, the Bureau of the Census publishes revisedmerchandise trade statistics for the prior year. Theserevisions include import and export data adjusted to elimi-nate carryover (that small portion of the monthly statisticsthat arrives too late for inclusion in the transaction month).Reflected also in these statistics are the application ofquarterly errata and other corrections to the publishedmonthly data.

The initial release of the statistics (FT900) and certainreports include special announcements, as warranted, tocall attention to the discovery of large or significant errorsand to provide information on the appropriate data correc-tions and program changes.

The Census Bureau receives revisions from Canada;however, our process does not permit corrections to detailfor data previously published. Therefore, the Census Bureauwill make corrections for prior period transactions as changesto the cumulative-to-date total for U.S. exports to Canada.

SOURCES OF FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUTTHE FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS

Supplementary information and explanations of interestto users of foreign trade statistics (such as notices ofchanges in statistical procedures) are included as specialannouncements in current issues of the statistical publica-tions. Reports providing additional detail compiled, but notpublished, may be obtained on a cost basis.

Copies of foreign trade statistics are available for publicreference use at various International Trade Administrationdistrict offices, Census Regional offices, and at some U.S.Customs Service offices. Since the distribution of foreigntrade material varies among offices, inquiries regarding theavailability of particular types of data should be made to:
