NOTICE TO USERS OF THE CONSTANT DOLLAR (REAL) DATA SERIES


After further review of the real export and import statistics, found in exhibits 10 and 11 of the September issue of the U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services report, the Census Bureau identified a processing error that caused incorrect deflators to be applied to the revised data for April 2004 through September 2004. The revision procedure for the real dollars requires compiling new deflators at the end of each quarter and applying them to the current and previous quarter. With the release of this notice, a new set of deflators has been compiled and applied to the April 2004 through September 2004 seasonally adjusted data. Exhibits 10 and 11 have been recompiled and are available at www.census.gov/trade. If you have further questions contact the U.S. Census Bureau, Foreign Trade Division at: (301) 763-3251 or e-mail Glenn Barresse at glenn.a.barresse@census.gov.
