U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COA Frederick H. Mueller, Secreta SUMMARY REPORT FT 930-I AMERCE Ury UNITED STATES FOREIGN TRADE JUNE 1959 IMPORT TRADE BY COMMODITY The Bureau of the Census, Department of Com- merce, announced today that the increase in United States imports for consumption from $1,247.3 million in May to the record total of $1,335.5 million in June, a gain of about seven percent, resulted from noticeable increases in imports of all of the eco- nomic classes of commodities except crude foodstuffs. June imports for consumption were about 32 percent higher than the June 1958 imports for consumption total of $1,013.6 million. For the first six months of 1959, imports for consumption amounted to $7,313.6 million, a level about 17 percent higher than the $6,237.5 million reported for the corresponding period of 1958. The Bureau also pointed out that for fiscal 1959 (July 1958 through June 1959), imports for consumption totaled $13,857.8 million and represented an increase of about eight percent over the fiscal 1958 (July 1957 through June 1958) total of $12,788.0 million. Fiscal 1959 "duty-free" imports were valued at $5,497.6 million or about 40 percent of the total. For fiscal 1958, "duty-free" imports amounted to $5,718.9 million or about 45 percent of the total. From May to June, imports of semimanufactures rose from $261.5 to $306.1 million largely as a re- sult of increases in imports of sawed boards, planks, and deals, from $29.4 to $40.5 million; copper, from $13.3 to $21.1 million; aluminum, from $13.3 to $18.2 million; and gas and fuel oil, from $30.4 to $34.2 million. Imports of crude materials rose from $246.0 to $287.9 million as noticeable increases were registered in imports of crude petroleum, from $64.5 to $94.6 million; tin, from $0.1 to $8.6 million; and iron ore and concentrates, from $30.0 to $35.9 million. Small increases in imports of most of the individual items included in finished manufactures accounted for the over-all rise in imports of this economic class of commodities from $436.6 to $457.2 million. Owing chiefly to an in- crease in imports of meat products, from $32.8 to $38.5 million, imports of manufactured foodstuffs climbed from $142.1 to $147.7 million. During the period,imports of crude foodstuffs, reflecting in part a sizable drop in imports of coffee, from $91.1 to $73.2 million, fell from $161.0 to $136.6 million EXPLANATION OF STATISTICS COVERAGE: Import statistics include merchandise imported by government agencies as well as by pri- vate importers, but exclude American goods returned by the United States armed forces for their own use. United States trade with Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and United States possessions is not included in this re- port, but the import trade of Puerto Rico and Hawaii with foreign countries is included as a part of the United States import trade. Merchandise shipped in- transit through the United States between foreign countries is not included in import statistics. VALUATION: Import values are, in general, based on market price or selling price,and are,in general, f.o.b. the exporting country. Import values also ex- clude United States import duties. None of the values have been adjusted for changes in price level. EFFECT OF SAMPLING: Effective January 1958 for- mal entry shipments valued less than $100 and infor- mal entry shipments valued $250 or less (less than one percent of total import value) are estimated by sampling. These estimated values are shown in this table as "Estimated value $1-$99 formal and $1-$250 informal entry shipments" and are arbitrarily in- cluded in the total for "Finished manufactures". Prior to 1958 all imports valued $250 or less whether reported on formal or informal entries were esti- mated by sampling and were shown separately by eco- nomic class. For convenience these estimates for 1957 are now included in the "All other" category for each economic class. For an indication of the effect the change in coverage and the change in presentation of sampled transactions have on the economic classes and commodity totals shown in this report effective with data for 1958, see the January 1958 issue of FT 930-1. Further information regarding coverage, valua- tion, etc., is contained in the "General Explanation" in foreword of Report No. FT 110.
