NOTE,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Numbers may not add to totals due to roundings. Estimates for 2002 are preliminary and may be revised.  Value-of-shipments estimates have not been adjusted for price changes. Coverage for the 2002 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) differs from the previous surveys due to a change from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification system to the 1997 North American Industry Classification System and other survey improvements.  Therefore, data users are urged to use caution when comparing 2002 CFS estimates with estimates from prior years.  Final 2002 CFS available January 2005.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
