Excerpt from U. S. Foreign Agricultural Trade Statistical Report, Fiscal Year 1978: A Supplement to the Monthly Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States The country of destination is defined as the country of ultimate destination known to the exporter at the time it is exported. When the ultimate destination is not known, shipments are credited to the last known country. A significant part of u.s. Agri cultural shipments to some countries is not known to the exporter at the time of departure. Transshipment through transfer facilities in Canada and Western Europe results in overstatement of export data to the Netherlands, Belgium, and West Germany, and understates exports to many other countries. Supplementary tables at the end of this report provide information on transshipments by destination based on statistics acquired from foreign sources including the Canadian Grain Commission, the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics, the Belgian National Institute of Statistics, and the Hamburg (west Germany) State Statistical Office.
