KEY:
– Represents data cell
equal to zero or less than 1 unit of measure.
S Estimate does not meet publication standards because of high sampling
variability or poor response quality.
1 Ton-miles estimates are based on estimated distances
traveled along a modeled transportation network. See "Mileage
Calculations" section for additional information.
2 Estimates exclude shipments of crude petroleum (SCTG 16).
NOTES: Value-of-shipments estimates have not been adjusted for price
changes. Appendix B tables provide estimated measures of sampling
variability. The Introduction and appendixes give information on
confidentially protection, sampling error, nonsampling error, sample design,
and definitions. Links to this information on the Internet may be found at

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.
