OF COMMERCE onnor, Secretary AU OF THE CENSUS United States SUMMARY REPORT April 1965 FT 986 CUSTOMS DISTRICT BY CONTINENT COVERAGE This report presents U.S. export and import statis- tics by air in U.S. Customs district by continent arrangement. Only those districts are shown whose combined exports and imports by air were valued at 2 million dollars or more for calendar year 1964. Exports These statistics represent exports of domestic and foreign merchandise combined and include government as well as nongovernment shipments of merchandise by air from the United States to foreign countries. The statistics, therefore, include Department of Defense Military Assistance Program--Grant-Aid snip- ments, Mutual Security Program economic assistance shipments, and shipments of agricultural commodi- ties under P. L. 480 (The Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended) and related laws. Shipments to U.S. armed forces and diplomatic missions abroad for their own use are not included in the export statistics. U.S. trade with Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and trade between U.S. possessions are not included in this report, but exports from Puerto Rico to foreign countries are included as a part of the U.S. export statistics. Merchandise shipped through the United States in transit from one foreign country to another, when documented as such through U.S. Customs, is excluded. (Foreign merchandise which has entered the United States as an import and is subsequently reexported is not treated as intransit merchandise, and is included in this report.) The figures in this re- port exclude exports of household and personal ef- fects, shipments by mail and parcel post, and ship- ments of airplanes under their own power. The statistics shown for exports to Canada represent fully compiled data for shipments individually valued $2,000 and over combined with estimated data for shipments valued $100-$1,999 based on a 10-percent sample of such shipments. The statistics shown for exports to countries other than Canada represent fully compiled datafor shipments individually valued $500 and over combined with estimated data for ship- ments valued $100-$499 based on a 50-percent sample of such shipments. In addition to these data, esti- mated data for shipments valued under $100 based on a lO-percent sample of such shipments are also included in the figures shown in the "Total" columns intable 1. These estimates for shipments valued under $100 are not included in the other figures in the table. Since the export figures shown include estimates based on a sample of low-valued shipments, they are subject to some degree of sampling variability. A rough guide to the general level of sampling variability (on a 2 changes out of 3 basis) of value totals shown is given below. Usually the higher value figures will have the lower percent sampling errors. Detailed information on the sam- pling variability of individual figures is avail- able upon request. Value totals for "Total" and "North America" of: $1,000,000 and over $500,000-$1,000,000 $100,000-$500,000 $20,000-$100,000 Cells of under $20,000 Value totals for continents of South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Oceania, and Africa of: $300,000 and over $100,000-$300,000 $20,000-$100,000 Under $20,000 Cells of $0 Proportion of cells with sampling variability of: under under under under 20% 2% 5% 10% 20% and over .60 .85 1.00 .45 .65 .70 1.00 .15 .40 .45 .55 .25 .75 Are likely to have sampling variability from $10,000 to $20,000 Are likely to have sampling variability of: Less than 2% Less than 5% with over half of the totals less than 2% Generally less than 10% with over half of the totals less than 5% Generally $1,000 to $2,000 Generally less than $500 For sale by the Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233.

FOR RELEASE August 17, 1965 ; 3,/; Fy6/f^ - The sampling variability, in percentage terms, of shipping weight figures can be approximated by the percent sampling variability of value. Imports These statistics represent general imports which are a combination of imports for immediate consump- tion and entries into bonded warehouses. The sta- tistics include government as well as nongovernment shipments of merchandise by air from foreign coun- tries to the United States. However, American goods returned by the U.S,. armed forces for their own use are excluded. U.S. trade with Puerto Rico and with U.S. possessions and trade between U.S. possessions are not included in this report but imports into Puerto Rico from foreign countries are considered to be U.S. imports and are included. Merchandise shipped through the United States in transit from one foreign country to another, when documented as such through U.S. Customs, is not re- pod a ported as imports and is excluded from the data shown in this report. (Foreign merchandise which has entered the United States as an import and is subsequently reexported is not treated as intransit merchandise, and is included in this report.) Im- ports of household and personal effects, imports by mail and parcel post, and imports of airplanes under their own power are not included. The airborne general import statistics reflect fully compiled data for formal entry shipments val- ued at $100 and over combined with estimated data for shipments reported on informal entries valued at $250 or less based upon a 10-percent sample of such shipments. These combined data are shown in the "Total" column for the value data in table 2 of this report. The continent and district by conti- nent value totals shown in the table include data for formal entries valued at $100 and over but ex- clude the estimated dollar value for shipments re- ported on informal entries valued $250 or less. The shipping weight information excludes shipping weight data for informal entries since this infor- mation is not required to be shown on such entries. Some rough indication as to the volume of shipping weight represented by informal entries may be ob- tained by reference to the air export statistics where low-valued shipments (under $100) are approx- imately 2 to 3 percent of the air export value and from 10 to 12 percent of the air export shipping weight. Import shipments by air reported on formal entries valued at less than $100 are entirely ex- cluded from the air import statistics. These under- $100 formal imports shipments amount to less than 1 percent of the total air import value and shipping weight. As noted above, the value figures for total air imports by Customs district include estimates of informal entries ($250 or less) based on a 10-percent sample of such entries. They are, therefore, subject to sampling variability. In general, the higher value figures will have the lower percent sampling errors. The following table gives a rough guide to the sampling variability of Customs district totals. More detailed information on the sampling variability of individual figures is available on request. Value totals of: $500,000 and over $100,000 $500,000 $20,000 $100,000 Under $20,000 Are likely to have sampling variability limits of: Less than 1% 1% to 5% 5% to 15% $1,000 to $2,000 The Customs district value and shipping weight totals shown include a small amount of shipments which could not be distributed by continent.
