 3/These values were derived by use of adjustment factors to exclude freight,

insurance, and other charges incurred in moving goods to the port of export.

This adjustment is made to convert the values to an approximation of the producers'

value of exported goods. Current adjustment factors are based on data for 1989

which are published in Exports from Manufacturing Establishments, AR89-1, appendix B.

The derived adjustment factor for this report is 0.9130.

 4/Source: Bureau of the Census report IM 145, U.S. Imports for Consumption.

 5/Represents c.i.f. (cost, insurance, and freight) value at the first port of

entry in the United States plus U.S. import duties.

 6/Apparent consumption is derived by subtracting exports from manufacturers'

shipments plus imports.
