EXPLANATION OF STATISTICS Import Valuation Coverage The U.S. import statistics reflect both government and nongovernment imports of merchandise from foreign countries into the U.S. Customs territory, which includes the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The U.S. import statistics exclude imports into the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and other U.S. possessions; and shipments between the United States and Puerto Rico, between the United States and U.S. possessions, and between any of these outlying areas. (Data on U.S. trade with Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands of the United States are published separately in Report FT 800. Additional data on such trade and on imports into the Virgin Islands from foreign countries are presented in reference tabulations.) Data on imports of petroleum and selected petroleum products, including shipments into the Virgin Islands from foreign countries, are included in this report effective with the January 1976 statistics (previously shown in former Report FT 900-Supplement). The U.S import statistics also exclude American goods returned to the United States by its Armed Forces; intransit shipments through the United States; temporary shipments; transactions not considered to be of statistical significance, such as shipments of personal and household effects; low-valued nondutiable imports by mail; issued monetary coins of all component metals; and gold in the form of ores, concentrates, waste, scrap, and refined bullion. Imports of silver in these forms are included in the statistics, unless otherwise noted. (Information on gold movements appears in Report FT 990 effective January 1975, previously shown in former Report FT 2402.) General Imports/Imports For Consumption The statistics on U.S. imports are presented in terms of both "General Imports" and "Imports for Consumption." General imports are a combination of entries for immediate con- sumption and entries into Customs bonded warehouses, and thus generally reflect total arrivals of merchandise. Imports for consumption are a combination of entries for immediate consumption and withdrawals from warehouses for con- sumption, and thus generally reflect the total of the com- modities entered into U.S. consumption channels. Source Of Import Information The official U.S. import statistics are compiled by the Bureau of the Census from copies of the import entry and warehouse withdrawal forms which importers are required by law to file with Customs officials. The information as to country of origin, net quantity, value, and commodity classification is verified by Customs officials on entries filed for transactions valued over $250, which are ordinarily subject to examination for Customs appraisement purposes. The statistical copy of the entry is corrected if it does not accurately reflect the information called for by the statistical requirements. F.a.s. Import Value.-The f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value represents the transaction value of imports at the foreign port of exportation. It is. based on the purchase price, i.e., the actual transaction value and generally includes all charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the port of exportation in the country of exportation. C.i.f. Import Value.-The c.i.f. (cost, insurance, and freight) value represents the value of imports at the first port of entry in the United States. It is based on the purchase price and includes all freight, insurance, and other charges (excluding U.S. import duties) incurred in bringing the merchandise from the country of exportation and generally placing it alongside the carrier at the first port of entry in the United States. If the merchandise was acquired in a transaction between related parties, the purchase price used in deriving the c.i.f. value is based on an arm's-length equivalent transaction price, i.e.. a price which would exist between unrelated buyers and sellers. Import Monthly Carryover It is the objective of the compiling procedures to include shipments, insofar as practicable, in the statistics for the actual month of importation. However, for purposes of the statistics the month of importation is based on the date of official acceptance by Customs of the import entry or warehouse withdrawal document. This may not in all cases correspond to the actual month of importation. (For example, under the Customs "immediate-delivery" procedures, importers may file the import entry up to 10 workdays after the actual date of importation.) Also, because of processing problems (e.g.. late receipt of a document for an end-of-month shipment, rejection of a shipment by the computer because the data fail to meet certain edit criteria established to protect the accuracy of the statistics, etc.), there is an overall average carryover of about 5 to 6 percent (in terms of value) of the shipments from the reported month of importation (based on the date of the import entry or warehouse withdrawal document) to a subsequent month, usually the succeeding month. In addition, as a result of the aforementioned Customs "immediate-delivery" procedures, there is a further carryover of presently unknown magnitude from the actual month of importation to a subsequent month. These limitations should be borne in mind when making month-to-month comparisons. Cumulations of data over at least 4-month periods are desirable to identify underlying trends. Month-to-month changes in imports, exports, and similar series often reflect primarily irregular movements, differences in monthly carryover, etc. Estimated Data for Imports Valued Under $251 The overall import and Schedule A Section 9 totals include sample estimates for shipments valued under $251. Therefore, they are subject to sampling error, estimated at less than one-tenth of one percent for the unadjusted overall total and about one percent for the unadjusted Schedule A Section 9 total. This means that we can have about 67 percent confidence IMPORT STATISTICS that the published unadjusted overall totals and the unadjusted Scheduled A Section 9 totals differ by less than one-tenth of a percent and one percent, respectively, from the totals that would have resulted from a complete tabulation. The statistics on imports of petroleum and petroleum products included in this report reflect fully compiled data and, therefore, are not subject to sampling error. EXPORT STATISTICS Coverage The export statistics reflect, in general, both government and nongovernment exports of domestic and foreign merchandise from the U.S. Customs territory (includes the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico) to foreign countries, whether the exportation involves a commercial transaction or not. The statistics, therefore, include Department of Defense Military Assistance Program Grant-Aid shipments, shipments for economic assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act and shipments of agricultural commodities under P.L. 480 (The Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended) and related laws. The following are excluded from the statistics: Shipments to U.S. Armed Forces and diplomatic missions abroad for their own use; shipments between the United States and Puerto Rico, between the United States and its possessions (including the Virgin Islands), and between these outlying areas; exports from U.S. possessions; intransit ship- ments through the United States; transactions not considered to be of statistical importance, such as personal and household effects, temporary\ exports; low-valued or non-commercial exports by mail; issued monetary coins of all component metals; and gold in the form of ores, concentrates, waste, scrap, and refined bullion. Exports of silver in these forms are included in the statistics, unless otherwise noted. (Information on gold movement appears in Report FT 990 effective January 1975, previously shown in former Report FT 2402.) Definition of Exports of Domestic and Foreign Merchandise Exports of domestic merchandise include commodities which are grown. produced, or manufactured in the UnitedStates, and commodities of foreign origin which have been changed in the United States from the form in which they were imported, or which have been enhanced in value by further manufacture in the United States. Exports of foreign merchandise consist of commodities of foreign origin which have entered the United States as imports and which, at the time of exportation, are in substantially. the same condition as when imported. Source of Export Information The official U.S. export statistics are compiled by the Bureau of the Census primarily from copies of Shipper's Export Declarations which are required to be filed with Customs officials, except for Department of Defense Military Assistance Program Grant- Aid shipments which are reported directly to the Bureau of the Census by the Department of Defense and shipments by qualified exporters who have been authorized to submit data in the form of magnetic tape, punched cards, or monthly Shipper's Summary Export Declarations directly to the Bureau of the Census. Export Valuation F.a.s. Export Value. -The value reported in the export statistics generally is equivalent to a f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value at the U.S. port of export, based on the transaction price, including inland freight, insurance and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. Export Monthly Carryover It is the objective of the compiling procedures to include shipments, insofar as practicable, in the statistics for the actual month of exportation. For purposes of the statistics, the month of exportation is generally based on the date when the shipment leaves the United States. (For vessel or air shipments it is the date when the carrier departs or is cleared from the port of export.) However, as indicated above for imports, because of processing problems (e.g., late receipt of a document for an end-of-month shipment, rejection of a shipment by the com- puter because the data fail to meet certain edit criteria established to protect the accuracy of the statistics, etc.), there is an overall average carryover of about 2 to 3 percent (in terms of value) of the shipments from the actual month of exporta- tion to a subsequent month, usually the succeeding month. These limitations should be borne in mind when making month-to-month comparisons. Cumulations of data over at least 4-month periods are desirable to identify underlying trends. Month-to-month changes in imports, exports, and similar series often reflect primarily irregular movements, differences in monthly carryover, etc. Estimated Data for Export Shipments The overall export and Schedule B section and division totals include sample estimates for shipments valued $251-$1,999 to Canada and for shipments valued $251-$999 to countries other than Canada. Data for shipments valued $250 and under to all countries are also estimated, based on established percentages of individual country totals, and included in the Schedule B Section 9 totals regardless of the commodity exported. It is estimated that the unadjusted overall total is subject to a sampling error of less than one-tenth of one percent, and the unadjusted Schedule B section or division totals are subject to sampling errors of about one percent. In addition, the Schedule B Section 9 total is subject to possible error in the estimated data for shipments valued $250 and under; and the overall total, and the individual totals for sections other than Section 9, to a more limited extent. Such $250 and under shipments represent about 1 percent of the total value of exports, and about 60 percent of the Schedule B Section 9 total. SOURCES OF ERROR IN THE STATISTICS Monthly import and export figures are subject to the possibility of errors which may arise from sources other thin sampling errors, discussed above. Among these are errors in the reporting and/or processing of information as to commodity classification, value and other statistical factors, month of inclusion (see paragraphs on import and export carryover. above), and the undercounting of exports to Canada due to the non-receipt of Shipper's Export Declarations. For 1975. the undercounting amounted to more than one bilhon dollars. In the case of imports the information as to value and commodity classification (as well as country of origin and net quantity) is verified b3 Customs officials on entries filed for transactions valued over $250 which are ordinanl. subject to examination for Customs appraisement purposes, thus considerably reducing the possibility of error. In addition, the procedures used to compile both the import and export statistics include clerical and computer processing checks designed to protect the accLracy of the statistics to the fullest practicable extent. MERCHANDISE TRADE BALANCES Two trade balances are presented in this report. 1) The balance between exports based on f.a.s. values and imports based on f.a.s. values. 2) The balance between exports based on f.a.s. values and imports based on c.i.f. values with adjustments for imports from affiliated sellers abroad to reflect arms-length equivalent prices. Both balances are useful for certain purposes. The first balance corresponds to a measurement of the international payments or credit flows resulting from merchandise trade between the U.S. and foreign countries. The second balance is based on concepts similar to those used by most foreign counties. and therefore provides a reference for comparison with the trade balances published by those counties REVISIONS TO THE STATISTICS Revisions are carried into the statistics on a periodic basis. Data for 1976 and 1977 appearing in the 1977 monthly issues of this report are presented as follows: 1977 Statistics a. January through November 1977 issues figures are as originally issued, except as noted below. b. December 1977 issue: figures reflect revisions for prior months of the year issued with December 1977 statistics or earlier, as noted below. 1076 Statistics a. January through May 1977 issues: figures reflect revisions issued with December 1976 statistics or earlier. b. June through December 1977 issues: figures reflect revisions to 1976 data issued with June 1977 statistics or earlier. In addition to the revisions which are made on a periodic basis, instances may occur where a significant error in the statistics for a month of the current year is discovered after the statistics for that month are compiled. If the error is of sufficient importance to require correction prior to the time that the regular revisions are carried, the correction is made and so noted in this report.

(It should be poted that imports into the Virgin Islands are excluded from the official U.S. import totals presented in the preceding tables of this report.) The data in these tables are not adjusted for seasonal and working-day variation. Beginning with the statistics for January 1977, certain changes were made in the TSUSA and Schedule A com- modity classifications covering petroleum products. These changes are reflected in the listing of commodities used in compiling the Petroleum information presented in this report shown below. Data for 1976 presented in tables 1B and 2B which follow have been revised to reflect these changes.
