Note.— This table covers substantially the trade of the world. It should not be expected that the world 
export and import totals for any year will agree. Among sources of disagreement are these: (1) Different 
periods of time covered in the "year" of the various countries; (2) imports received in year subsequent to 
year of export; (3) want of uniformity in classification of goods among countries; (4) different practices and 
varying degrees of failure in recording countries of origin and ultimate destination; (5) different practices 
of recording reexported goods; (6) opposite methods of treating free ports; (7) clerical errors, which, it may 
be assumed, are not infrequent; (8) losses at sea. 
The exports given are domestic exports, and the imports given are imports for consumption as far as it 
is feasible and consistent so to express the facts. While there are some inevitable omissions, on the other 
hand there are some duplications because of reshipments that do not appear as such in official reports. 
For the United Kingdom , import figures refer to imports for consumption when available; otherwise total 
.imports less exports of "foreign and colonial merchandise." 
The following kinds and grades have been included under the head of sugar: Brown, white, candied, 
caramel, chancaca (Peru), crystal cube, maple, muscovado, panela. The following have been excluded: 
"Candy" (meaning confectionery), confectionery, glucose, grape sugar, jaggery, molasses, and sirup. 
Some figures in this table refer to raw and some to refined sugar, according to the kind reported in the 
original returns. In the statistics of the foreign trade of the United States, the Philippine Islands are. 
treated as a foreign country; all other noncontiguous possessions, as part of the United States.
