C 1f/, 93c / United /( 2 00/ r C U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE States Luther H. Hodges, Secretary BUREAU OF THE CENSUS Foreign Trade RIchrd M. Scommon, Dir J[ l a'^ ,, Ii/J SUMMARY REPORT Y FOR RELEASE FT 930-E MAY 1962 July 12, 1962 EXPORT TRADE BY COMMODITY The Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, announced to- day that the increase in United States exports of domestic mer- chandise, from $1,857.5 million in April to $1,946.2 million in May1, a gain of about five percent, was primarily the result of increases in exports of crude materials, crude foodstuffs,and manufactured foodstuffs. The May domestic merchandise export total was about thirteen percent higher than the May 1961 total of $1,730.3 million. These totals include data on Department of Defense Military Assistance Program--Grant-Aid shipments. With Military Assistance Program--Grant-Aid shipments excluded, the May domestic merchandise export total was $1,866.1 million, about five percent higher than the April total of $1,775.1 mil- lion and about thirteen percent higher than the May 1961 total of $1,657.8 million. Exports of crude foodstuffs rose from $176.9 million in April to $214.9 million in May primarily as a result of increases in exports of wheat, from $86.4 to $103.7 million; corn, from $45.3 to 152.1 million; fresh or dried vegetables, from $8.4 to $11.4 million; and fresh or frozen fruits, from $7.5 to $9.0 million. Exports of rrude materials rose from $161.8 to $193.1 million owing chiefly to increa.ses in exports of individual items in- cluded in this economic class as follows: coal, from $27.4 to $36.8 million; unmanufactured cotton, from $42.6 to $50.4 million, 1See the May 1962 issue of Report No. FT 900-E for seasonally-edjusted figures aon total exports, excluding Military Assistance Program--Grant-Aid ship~iants. Seasonally adjusted data are not available on a canodity aeia. oilseeds, from $30.2 to $33.2 million; and inedible animal and fish oils and greases, from $8.4 to $11.2 million. Exports of manufactured foodstuffs advanced from $107.7 to $127.7 mil- l on r fle.: t r, in part, increases in exports of refined %.egetstblc oil., fats, and waxes, from $11.6 to $17.4 million; meat and meat products, from $12.0 to $17.3 million; and manu- factured foodstuffs, exported for relief or charity by indi- viduals and private agencies, from $13.6 to $17.5 million. Although the increase in exports of semimanufactures was small, from $254.9 to $257.0 million, notable counterbalancing changes were reported in exports of some of the commodities included in this economic class. The more noticeable of these were coal- tar and other cyclic chemical products, from $13.8 to $17.1 million; wood pulp, from $11.7 to $14.8 million; crude vegetable oils and fats, from $12.2 to $1.5 million; and synthetic rubber from $15.7 to $12.3 million. Exports of finished manufactures were valued at $1,153.6 million in May, a level about the same as the April total of $1,156.2 million. However, there were sizable counterbalancing changer in exports of some of the individual commodities included in this economic class. The more noticeable of these were passen- ger cars, from $29.2 to $21.8 million; railway transportation equipment, from $15.4 to $9.7 million; construction, excavating, mining, oil field, and related machinery, from $75.7 to $71.2 uiliion; aircraft, parts and accessories, from $130.2 to $149.8 million; machine tools, including metal-forming machine tools and parts, from $26.7 to $32.9 million; tractors, from $19.8 to $23.9 million; and trucks and busses, from $19.8 to $22.7 mil- lion. EXPLANATION OF STATISTICS COVERAGE: Export statistics include government as well as nongovernment ship- meats to foreign countries. The export statistics, therefore, include Department of Defense Military Assistance Program-Grant-Aid shipments (for which separate fig- area are shown in the footnotes of this report), Mutual Security Program economic as- sistance shipments; and shipments of agricultural commodities under P.L. 480 (The Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended) and related laws. (The separate information which is available on exports under P.L. 480 and related laws may be obtained from the Economic Research Service and the Foreign Agricultural Service of the Department of Agriculture. Shipments to United States armed forces and diplomatic missions abroad for their own use are excluded from export statistics. United States trade with Puerto Rico and United States possessions is not included in this report, but the export trade of Puerto Rico with foreign countries is included as a part of the United States export trade. Merchandise shipped in transit through the United States between foreign countries, not entered as imports, is not included in ex- port statistics. VALUATION: The valuation definition used in the export statistics is the value at the seaport, border point, or airport of exportation. It is based on the selling price (or cost if not sold) and includes inland freight, insurance, and other charges to the part of exportation Transportation sad other costs beyond the United States port of exportation are excluded None of the values have been adjusted for changes in price level. RELIABILITY: The statistics presented in this report are based partly on sample data and therefore are subject to sampling variation that may cause them to differ somewhat from the results which would have been obtained from processing all export documents. For the figures shown in this report the sampling variability can be ig- nored since the probable variability due to sampling is either less than $50,000 (the largest variation from rounding of figures) or less than a trivial percentage of the in- dividual totals shown. In addition to the effects of sampling variation, the data in this report are subject to errors from such sources as the carry-over of data from month to month, errors in reporting or processing, the estimation of shipments valued under $100 (estimated data for such shipments are included in the over-all export total and in the totals for "Finished manufactures" and "All other finished manufac- tures, exclusive of Special Category Type 1" but excluded from other totals), and the omission of parcel post shipments valued under $50. Although the effect of such errors on the rounded totals in this report is probably small, the possibility of inac- curacy should be taken into account, particularly in using figures of relatively small magnitude. Further information regarding coverage, valuation, compilation procedures and preci- sion of export data is contained in the foreword of Report No, FT 410.
