1Totals, other than the number of firms reporting, are enhanced to the extent that an exporter and one or more other organizations report on the same transaction.
2Two or more types of restrictive trade practices are often reported in connection with one transaction.
3Transactions in this table are characterized as "take action" or "refuse" in terms of action taken on the original request, not on amended or deleted requests.
4 "Refuse" does not necessarily mean that business was lost because a firm refused to comply with a prohibited boycott request. Rather, it indicates that firms refused to comply with the request in bidding on contracts totaling the dollar amounts indicated. Prohibited boycott language is often amended or deleted to permit U.S. firms to comply with U.S. law. Amendments and deletions are not reflected in these statistics.
