C 3, >:9 -i U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Frederick H. Mueller, Secretary / . BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Robett W Burgess, Dirctor CENSUS] UNITED STATES FOREIGN TRADE SUfMARY REPORT FT 930-I FEBRUARY 1960 April 26, 1 ,, IMPORT TRADE BY COMMODITY The Bureau of the Census, Department of Conmrrerce, announced today that the increase in United '."tes imports for consumption from $1,162.5 million in January to $1,2-'-'.6 million in February, a gain of about 11 percent, resulted from higher levels of im- ports of all of the economic classes of commodities. The February l'r.u imports for consumption total was about 16 percent more than the February 1959 total of $1,113.6 million. It should be noted that February 1960 had one more day than February 1959. The Bureau pointed out that the bulk of the over-all increase of about $126 million in imports for consumption from January to February was accicnted for by noticeable increases in imports of two of lhe five economic classes of commodities, finished man$- factures and crude foodstuffs. A part of the rise',\ in imports of finished manufactures from $410.3 to \ $465.1 million was the result of increases in imports of automobiles and parts, from $61.3 to $80.6 mil- lion; newsprint, from $48.2 to $53.6 million; and agricultural machinery and implements, from $12.1 to $16.1 million. Imports of coffee rose from $56.6 to $101.7 million largely accounting for the increase in imports of crude foodstuffs from $111.4 to $165.9 million. A sizable increase in imports of iug;jr, from $32.2 to $42.4 million was the primary factor in the rise in imports of manufactured foodstuffs from tl0'.9 to $117.3 million. F.-bruLry imports of _.;mi- manufactures, valued at $293.5 million, were slightly higher than the January total of $2.4.9 million. Re- flected in the increase were gains in imports of .sarebsd-bea9s, plnks and deals, from $18.9 to ?.-9.9 million; v. Fulp, from $22.3 to $26.9 million; and "frrtln iersi' materials, from $3.5 to $6.6 ril ion, which were part' offset by a declir:. in imports of nickel and a11 from $18.5 to $13.9 million. Although the advance in imports of crude mate- rials from Janut p to February was small, $245.0 to $246.8 million', there were some appreciable counter- balancLng c6han s in imports of several of the indi- viqval 'co mo(ties included in this economic class. Tniateges n imports of crude petroleum, from $61.5 to $69.1 million; crude rubber, from $27.2 to $32.9 million; and copper, from $1.7 to $6.4 million, were largely offset by declines in imports of tin, from $5.5 to $1.4 million; lead, from $4.9 to $1.1 mil- lion, and undressed furs, from $16.1 to $12.6 mil- lion. 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 and United States possessions is not included in this report, but the import trade of Puerto Rico 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: Formal entry shipments valued less than $100 and informal entry shipments valued $250 or less (less than one percent of total import value) are estimated by sampling. These estimated values are shown in the tables of this report as "Estimated value $1-$99 formal and $1-$250 informal entry shipments" and are arbitrarily included in the total for "Finished manufactures." The largest variation from rounding of figures is $50,000. Further information regarding coverage, valua- tion, etc., is contained in the "General Explanation" in foreword of Report No. FT 110. For complete statement, see the foreword in Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States.
