Sampling Description-The statistics in this publication were collected on the Bureau of Domestic Business Development Form ITA-991,iTitanium Metal. The mailing panel for this survey includes all known titanium ingot, mill product, and castings producers. Survey Error-Figures for the current month include esti- mates for respondents whose reports were not received in time for tabulation. Such missing figures are "imputed" from month-to-month movements shown by reporting firms and are generally limited to a maximum of 10 percent for any one item. Individual items with imputation rates greater than 10 percent are footnoted. The imputation rate is not an explicit indicator of the potential error in published figures due to nonresponse, because the actual monthly movements for nonrespondents may or may not closely agree with the imputed movements. The probable range of difference between the actual and imputed figures is unknown. The degree of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the data, however, increases as the percentage of imputation increases. Figures with imputation rates above 10 percent should be used with caution. Revision to Previous Period Data-Statistics for previous months may be revised due to receipt of corrected data from respondents, including late reports for which imputations were previously made as described above, and other corrections. Figures which have been revised by more than 5 percent from previously published figures are indicated by footnotes. Seasonal Adjustment-The data are not adjusted for seasonal variation or number of working days. EXPLANATION OF TERMS Net Shipments-Derived by subtracting the sum of pro- ducers' receipts of each mill shape from the industry's gross shipments of that shape. Gross Shipments-Include the quantities of mill shapes con- sumed in rolling mills in the production of fabricated products such as forgings, etc. Also includes the quantities of mill shapes shipped between producers. COMPARISON OF EXPORT, IMPORT, AND DOMESTIC OUTPUT DATA The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system used for domestic output and the statistical export and import com- modity classifications were developed independently and are based on somewhat differing systems of classification. This results in considerable difficulty in comparing the three types of data for many commodity areas. The domestic output classifi- cation is based on type of industry; whereas, the export and import classification system is more materials oriented. Aside from the differences in the basic commodity classifications, there are additional problems involving import data, since there are a substantial number of imported commodities which are not produced in the United States or which are produced only in very small quantities and which, therefore, have no com- parable domestic output classification. The relationships shown in this report should be considered only as approximations. since, in addition to those mentioned above, there are also the following problems affecting the comparability of the three sets of data: a. Valuation-There are different methods of valuation for the three types of data. Domestic Output-Valued at the point of production. It includes the net sales price, f.o.b. plant, after discounts and allowances, exclusive of freight charges and excise taxes. Exports-Valued at the point of exportation. It includes the selling price, or cost if not sold, and inland freight. insurance, and other charges to the export point. Estimated producers' value of exports have also been devel- oped. These values more closely approximate the values re- ported for domestic output because they exclude freight, in- surance and other charges applied from the producing plant to the export point Imports-Valued at the first port of entry in the United States. It includes c.i.f. (cost, insurance, and freight), duty, and other charges to the import point b. Duplication in Quantity and Value of Output-Because producers' shipments of some commodities may be used as materials for incorporation into other commodities, combina- tions of data for such commodities may contain a certain amount of duplication. Thus, percentages of exports to output or imports to apparent consumption (output plus imports minus exports) at four-digit or broader levels may be understated. Where duplication is known to be substantial, the output data are appropriately noted in the table. c. Low-Valued Export and Import Transactions-Commodity information is not shown for individual imports valued under $251. For exports, commodity information is not reported for shipments individually valued under $251 effective October 1969 and for shipments valued under $100 prior to October 1969. This is believed to have only negligible effect on the statistics for most commodities. d. Manufacturers' Shipments, Not Specified by Kind-The value of manufacturers' shipments at the four-digit industry level often includes a small amount which is not distributed among the individual five-digit product classes. Export and import percentages at the more detailed levels might, therefore, be slightly overstated. e. Time Lag Between Output and Exports-There will be a lag between the time a commodity is produced or shipped by the producer and the time it is actually exported, especially when intermediaries (wholesalers, exporters, etc.) are involved. Ordinarily, this type of discrepancy is insignificant in annual figures. f. "Direct" vs "Total" Commodity Export and Imports- Export and import data do not include materials which are incorporated into other more finished products and exported or imported in finished form. Thus, by showing only direct exports and imports, the relation of exports to output and imports to apparent consumption for intermediate products is considerably understated. g. Used Commodities-With a few exceptions, used or rebuilt commodities are classified in the same import or export codes as is new merchandise. Percentages are thus overstated to the extent that used or rebuilt products are significant in trade.
