U. S. DEPARTMENT OF/COMMERCE Chares Sawyer, Secretary RCE USI UNITED STATES FOREIGN TRADE CALENDAR YEAR 19511 SUMMARY REPORT FT 9_1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 3, 1952 SHIPPING WEIGHT AND DOLLAR VALVE OF MERCHANDISE LADEN ON AND UNLADEN FROM VESSELS AT UNITED STATES PORTS DURING THE IN-TRANSIT MOVEMENT OF THE MERCHANDISE FROM CUE FOREIGN COUNTRY TO ANOTHER COVERAGE This report presents annual statistics in terms of calendar year periods. The calendar year figures repre- sent shipments unladen from and laden on vessels arriving or departing during the interval January 1 December 31, and are being presented as part of an interagency program designed to promote the presentation of governmental ship- ping data on as nearly a uniform basis as possible. The official sources for determining vessel arrival and de- parture dates are the Bureau of Customs Forms 1400 and 14C1,Record of Vessels Engaged in Foreign Trade Entered or Arrived Under Permit to Proceed and Record of Vessels Engaged in Foreign Trade Cleared or Granted Permit to Proceed, respectively. The statistical year figures for 1951, representing the aggregate of transactions processed during the twelve monthly account periods January December 1951, were published in Report FT 981 dated June 16, 1952. This re- port included some shipments unladen from and laden on vessels during the latter part of 1950 and omitted some late shipments made during 1951 for which information was not received in time to be included in the statistical year figures (see July 1952 issue of Foreign Trade Statistics Notes). The 1951 calendar year figures presented in this re- port reflect the data shown in the statistical ledgers as of September 1, 1952. Any subsequent transactions will not be included in the calendar year figures without the concurrence of an interagency group representing the Bureau of the Budget, the Maritime Administration, the Corps of Engineers of the Department of the Army, and the Bureau of the Census. This Report FT 981 presents the value (million of dollars) and shipping weight (millions of pounds) of in- transit merchandise moving into and/or out of United States ports by vessel. In-transit merchandise is de- fined as merchandise coming into the United States from a foreign country and shipped to a foreign country without having been entered as an import.' Such merchandise re- nains in Customs custody or under band at all times while in the United States to assure that none of it enters consumption channels without the payment of United States import duties. In-transit merchandise includes the following: 1. Foreign merchandise transferred from one vessel to another in the United States port of arrival and shipped to a foreign country without being released from Customs custody in the United States. 2. Foreign merchandise shipped through the United States under Customs bond, leaving the United States from a port other than that at which it arrived. 3. Foreign merchandise withdrawn from a General Order Warehouse for immediate export or for transportation and export (such merchandise was not recorded as an import when it entered the warehouse). 4. Foreign merchandise shipped from a United States Foreign Trade Zone to a foreign country (such merchandise is deposited in the Foreign Trade Zone without being entered as an import). Foreign merchandise entering the United States from a Foreign Trade Zone for shipment to a foreign country is excluded from the inbound in-transit statistics but is included in the outbound in-transit statisticss when it leaves the United States. Shipments of merchandise on United States flag ves- sels moving from one United States port to another via a foreign port do not require the filing of export or im- port documents if none of the merchandise is unladen at the foreign port. This exemption also applies, in cer- tain instances, to merchandise moving on foreign flag vessels trading in the Great Lakes area. Similarly, the filing of documents for merchandise moving by vessel from one foreign port to another foreign port via a United States port is not required if none of the merchandise ic unladen in the United States. The shipments described above are not defined as in-transit merchandise and pre not included in the inbound or outbound in-transit sta- tistics; neither are they included in the export or im- port statistics compiled by this Bureau. Foreign merchandise entered as an import into the United States and subsequently re-exported is not in- cluded in the inbound or outbound in-transit statistics. Such merchandise is reported as an import upon arrival, and upon shipment to a foreign country is classified as either an export or a re-export. Shipments of in-transit merchandise are excluded from the statistics on exports and imports by vessel shown in Reports FT 972, 973, 976, SM 303, 703, etc., and from the total United States export and import statistics shown in Reports FT 900, 950, 410, 120, etc. (see Fareigi Trade Statistics Notes for August 1947, February 1948 and June 1950) These data are preliminary and subject to revision.
