PACIFIC COAST WATERBORNE FOREIGN TRADE— 1953 INTRODUCTION h e which would have the greatest general interest. It should be noted that more detailed information is available than that presented in the statistical tables; some of it is utilized in the text. In the descriptive sections of this study the information contained in the statistical tables is summarized and an effort is made to point up some of the highlights of Pa cific Coast waterborne foreign trade during 1953. Some additional information on trade by both commodity and foreign country which is not included in the tables is in corporated in these sections. purpose of this publication is to fill certain gaps in the official published statistics of Pacific Coast water T borne foreign trade. The data included cover only the single calendar year 1953. Thus, what is presented here is a sample study showing certain important types of statis tical information which are currently being collected but which are not available in published form. Official foreign trade statistics for the United States are compiled by the Bureau of the Census of the United States Department of Commerce from exporters' declara tions and import entries. The Bureau of the Census regu larly publishes relatively complete statistical data on the foreign trade of the United States by commodity and foreign country. Such detail, however, is not published for individual ports or customs districts. Included in the published reports by customs district are only the total value and weight data, with no detail by commodity or foreign country. Similar limited data are published for a selected number of major ports within each customs district. Those desiring additional data by port or by customs district are faced at present with three rather difficult alternatives. First, machine tabulation code sheets are available for public use at the various Field Offices of the Department of Commerce which are located in major cities. Compiling desired details from these coded reports, however, is a difficult and time-consuming operation. Second, the Bureau of the Census will prepare special reports on a cost basis to the extent that time availability permits. Third, the Bureau of the Census will furnish, on a cost basis, machine tabulation punch cards. In order to utilize these cards, however, it is necessary to have avail able the necessary sorting and tabulating machines. In using any of the three alternatives there is the further handicap that the data do not become available until a considerable time after the close of the period in which the actual shipments take place. In preparing the data contained in this study the third alternative, machine tabulation punch cards, was utilized. All of the underlying detail was obtained from these cards furnished by the Bureau of the Census.1 These cards were sorted, summarized, and tabulated to obtain the informa tion presented. In selecting the type of information to be published, an effort was made to present the information Seventeen tables are presented in the statistical section. The first two tables show the relative importance of dry cargo and tanker trade by customs district and the over all importance of the trade of individual ports. Of the remaining tables, four are devoted to commodity detail and six to country detail, with five tables on the in-transit trade of the Pacific Coast by customs district. The com modity tables show the most important individual com modity imports and exports for the Pacific Coast as a whole and the commodity composition of trade for each Pacific Coast customs district by major commodity groups. The country tables show the leading markets and sources of imports for the Pacific Coast and customs district imports and exports by trade areas. Two more tables, one showing dry cargo and the other tanker trade, give the complete breakdown of the trade of each customs district by foreign country of origin or destination of shipments. An appendix at the end of the statistical tables explains the terms and statistics used. Insofar as possible the offi cial Bureau of the Census definitions have been utilized, and thus the definitions would also apply to similar statis tics based on official Census data. As indicated initially, this study covers only one year and therefore its use for analytical purposes is limited. In any given year there are non-recurring factors which will influence the totals. Consequently, in order to draw significant conclusions as to the commodity composition or the direction of Pacific Coast foreign trade, it would be necessary to have the kind of data presented in this report available for a period of several years. The data do, however, give a snapshot of a particular year and present statistics which have not been previously available.1 ‘ The cards used for this study were “ Annual vessel summary cards (No. 2) for United States water-borne general imports, exports and in-transit shipments on dry cargo (liner and irregular) and tanker vessels at all Pacific Coast ports.” The detail contained included: type of service, United States customs district and port, foreign port, commodity by Schedules S and T , foreign country of origin or destination» value, and shipping weight. 1 There is one customs district which is excepted from this statement. The Board of State Harbor Commissioners for San Francisco Harbor prepares an annual report on “ Foreign Trade Through the San Francisco Customs District.” This report, based on Bureau of the Census data, has been published continually since 1925 and presents data by commodity and by country for the San Fran cisco customs district. 1 THE PATTERN OF PACIFIC COAST W ATERBORNE FOREIGN TRADE IN 1953 1953, the Pacific Coast customs districts accounted for 10 percent of the value of total United States water borne foreign trade. The combined total value of exports and imports of $1,688 million was 8 percent below the 1952 total and 11 percent below the postwar peak regis tered in 1951. The Pacific Coast’s share of United States waterborne foreign trade, however, has been rising fairly steadily since 1947, and this is an indication of the improv ing position of the Pacific Coast in the foreign trade pic ture. The Pacific Coast's share of United States water borne shipping weight has also shown consistent progress. In 1953 her share was 10 percent, compared with the next highest share of 9 percent reached in 1952. Actual ship ping weight in 1953, moreover, was the highest recorded for the Pacific Coast in any of the eight years since 1947. The Pacific Coast’s share of export value follows the trend of total trade as a whole. With the exception of 1952, the Pacific Coast’s percentage share of export value in 1953— 12 percent—was the highest of the postwar period. This percentage was well above the six-year post war average of 9.5 percent, although actual dollar value and shipping weight were some 18 percent below that of 1952. The Pacific Coast’s gain in the share of total United States export shipping volume, in addition, has shown a steady improvement, rising from a postwar low of 7.8 percent in 1948 to 13.9 percent in 1953. The Pacific Coast’s share of United States import value, on the other hand, has tended to vary from year to year, but the 1953 percentage of 9 percent compared favorably with that of other postwar years. Import ship ping weight, however, increased rapidly from almost 5 billion pounds in 1947 to 18 billion pounds in 1953. From 1952 to 1953 alone, import shipping weight rose by 54 percent. The percentage share rose from 4 percent in 1947 to 7.5 percent in 1953. More than half of this in crease since 1947 was due to petroleum imports. I On the basis of customs districts, the San Francisco district dominated the waterborne foreign trade of the Pacific Coast districts with 42 percent of total value. Los Angeles was second with 30 percent, Washington third with 15 percent, and Oregon fourth with 12 percent. San Diego, with the smallest area of the five districts, ac counted for less than 1 percent of total value. In terms of physical volume, the positions of San Francisco and Los Angeles were reversed, while the other customs districts retained their relative positions. n Ten ports account for the major proportion of export value The ranking of the various customs districts is changed only slightly when exports alone are considered. San Francisco accounted for 38 percent of total export value, and Los Angeles for 28 percent. Oregon and Washington switched places, however, with Oregon handling 19 per cent of the export trade by value and Washington 14 percent. On the basis of shipping weight, the Los Angeles district was again the leader, with petroleum shipments responsible for much of its 42 percent of export shipping weight. The San Francisco customs district ranked second with 25 percent of Pacific Coast shipping weight, followed by Oregon with 21 percent and Washington with 12 per cent. As in the case of total trade, a small number of ports (ten, in this instance) accounted for the major proportion of export value—almost 90 percent. Through the port of San Francisco passed 21 percent of the Pacific Coast’s exports, while the port of Los Angeles handled 15 percent of export shipments. Long Beach and Portland each ac counted for 10 percent or more of export value. The ports of Oakland, Seattle, and Tacoma shared equally in export value, each with 6.5 percent of the total. The importance of petroleum shipments placed the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in leading positions on the basis of ship ping weight, while the ports of San Francisco and Tacoma were fifth and sixth with 5.3 percent each. Bulk wheat shipments were responsible for the third-place showing of Portland, which accounted for 10 percent of total Pa cific Coast export shipping weight. The port of Longview was fourth with 5.5 percent of the total. Pacific Coast W aterborne Foreign Trade b y Port and Customs District Twelve ports along the Pacific Coast (out of a total of 37 port classifications distinguished in Bureau of the Cen sus data) accounted for 93 percent of the area’s total value of waterborne foreign trade and 76 percent of the shipping weight in 1953. The port of San Francisco led all others with more than one-fourth, or 29 percent, of total value. Los Angeles, with almost one-fifth of the Pacific Coast total, was the next largest port in terms of dollar volume, followed by Long Beach, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, and Oakland. However, because of the large volume of petro leum shipments (which are heavy in weight but low in value), the ports ranked in somewhat different order on a shipping weight basis. Los Angeles was the most im portant port volume-wise, with Long Beach and Rich mond next. San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma, and Seattle followed some distance behind because of the lesser im portance of petroleum shipments to those ports. Eight ports account for 94 percent of import value Eight ports along the Pacific Coast accounted for 94 percent of total waterborne import value. San Francisco was first with 38 percent of the total, followed by Los Angeles with 25 percent; Seattle, 7.3 percent; Long Beach, 6.9 percent; Tacoma, 6.5 percent; Oakland, 4 per cent; Portland, 3.5 percent; and Richmond, 2.7 percent. These ports, however, did not rank in the same order on the basis of shipping weight because of the importance of certain low-value high-weight commodities in the import trade. Petroleum imports into the port of Los Angeles, for example, accounted for a large part of the shipping weight of the port, which in turn accounted for slightly 2 more than one-fourth of Pacific Coast import volume. Petroleum was also significant in the import picture of Richmond, with another 20 percent of the total, and for Long Beach, with 7 percent of the total. Metal ores im ported for refining—and re-export—were responsible for the importance of the port of Tacoma, which accounted for almost 6 percent of total import shipping weight, while wood product imports contributed to the importance of the ports of Bellingham and Seattle. The port of San Francisco, with almost 9 percent of the total, had a more diversified import trade. On the basis of customs districts, the San Francisco customs district led the rest of the Pacific Coast in both dollar value and shipping weight of imports, with 48 and 40 percent of the total respectively. Los Angeles was second with 33 percent of import value and 37 percent of import volume; Washington, third with 15 and 21 per cent respectively; and Portland, fourth with 4 and 2 per cent respectively. Coast total. The customs district of San Francisco, with $118 million of vegetable food product exports, accounted for 37 percent of the Pacific Coast total. Fruit and fruit products, vegetables and vegetable products, and grains were the main San Francisco district exports in this cate gory. The Washington customs district, with $53 million in vegetable food exports, was third, while Los Angeles with $19 million was in fourth place. The machinery and vehicles category ranked second in export value The second largest category of Pacific Coast exports in 1953 was, by contrast, a manufacturing industry— the machinery and vehicles group—which accounted for about 14 percent of Pacific Coast export value. This cate gory, incidentally, was the most important commodity group export for the United States as a whole in 1953, contributing 36 percent of total United States export value. Machinery and vehicle exports from the Pacific Coast totaled $127 million in 1953, with the San Fran cisco customs district accounting for 58 percent and the Los Angeles district 29 percent. About 75 percent of the total consisted of industrial machinery (general electrical machinery, construction and mining machinery, and so on ), and another 18 percent was vehicles and parts. With in the industrial machinery category, construction and mining machinery was the most important; exports of $35 million placed this classification in third position among individual commodity exports. Most of the indus trial machinery was shipped to the countries of East Asia and to Australia and South America. Vehicle and vehicle parts exports went primarily to the Philippines and Japan. The Com m odity Com position of Pacific Coast Exports Vegetable food products the most important commodity group The leading export commodity groups on the Pacific Coast reflect the essentially agricultural and extractive nature of the Twelfth District economy from which the ports draw most of their trade. In 1953 almost 40 percent of export value was accounted for by the edible animal and vegetable food product categories. Vegetable food products alone constituted more than one-third of total export value, with wheat exports accounting for almost half of that total. Wheat exports of $153 million were the principal commodity export from the Pacific Coast in terms of value. More than two-thirds of these wheat ex: ports were shipped to two countries, Japan and India. Other grains and grain preparations also ranked high. Rice exports, 95 percent of which were destined for Japan, totaled $27 million. Four-fifths of the barley and rye ex ports of $14 million were also shipped to Japan, while 46 percent of the $16 million of wheat flour exports went to the Philippines. Fruits and their preparations were sec ond in importance among vegetable food products. They totaled $59 million and accounted for slightly more than 6 percent of total export value. Vegetables and their prep arations were third in the vegetable food products group, reaching $26 million in value and constituting almost 3 percent of total export value. In the edible animal products category, dairy products totaling $25 million (half of which consisted of condensed and evaporated milk) and fish and fish products totaling $12 million were the leading commodities. Practically all of the condensed and evaporated milk was exported to the Philippines. The importance of wheat exports to Oregon, which ac counted for 85 percent of its total value of vegetable food exports, made it the leading exporter of vegetable food products with $127 million, or 40 percent, of the Pacific Petroleum products third by value but first in shipping weight The third largest category on the basis of export value was nonmetallic minerals, which comprised 12 percent of total Pacific Coast export value, or $111 million. Of this total, 26 percent consisted of residual fuel oil, 18 per cent of motor fuels and gasoline, 16.5 percent of crude petroleum, and 12.5 percent of gas oil and distillate fuel oil. Practically all of the nonmetallic mineral exports were handled by the customs districts of Los Angeles (65 per cent) and San Francisco (28 percent). Owing to their great weight, petroleum products were by far the most important commodity group in the shipping weight col umn, accounting for 46 percent of total shipping weight. More than half of the residual fuel oil shipments went to Japan, while Canada was the principal market for most of the other petroleum exports. Textile fibers and manufactures occupied fourth place in export value Textile fibers and manufactures constituted the fourth largest export commodity group on the Pacific Coast in 1953, although the principal commodity in this category, raw cotton, was the area's second most valuable export. Eighty-eight percent of the $102 million of textile fibers 3 and manufactures exports consisted of raw cotton. The Los Angeles customs district shipped almost three-fourths of the cotton exports by value, and the San Francisco dis trict 26 percent. Japan bought a little more than one-third of this total, and India took 6 percent. European nations purchased most of the remainder: France, 21 percent; West Germany, 14 percent; Italy 6.7 percent; and the Netherlands, 5.6 percent. Other major export commodities that ranked among the first ten in terms of value were refined copper in crude forms, which totaled $28 million in 1953 and accounted for 3 percent of Pacific Coast export value; and lumber and shingles, which accounted for $22 million and almost 3 percent of export value. The leading markets for Pacific Northwest lumber were Japan, Australia, and South America. The Oregon customs district accounted for three-fourths of the exports of lumber and shingles, while the Washington customs district (primarily the port of Tacoma) accounted for most of the exports of refined copper. semifabricated tin from British Malaya and zinc ore, con centrates, and scrap from Peru and Bolivia. Another important commodity classification in the met als category was rolled and finished steel products, total ing $15 million and accounting for 15 percent of the value of the metals group. Japan, Belgium, and West Germany were the principal suppliers of the rolled and finished steel products. Because of the concentration of copper and other refin eries in the Pacific Northwest, the Washington customs district accounted for almost half of the import value of the metals category. The Los Angeles and San Francisco customs districts were next in importance, each account ing for approximately one-fourth of the total. Newsprint imports contributed to the third place position of wood and paper products The third leading import commodity group on the Pa cific Coast in 1953 was wood and paper products which contributed 10 percent of total import value. Somewhat more than half, or 57 percent, consisted of newsprint, which totaled $44 million. Newsprint was the Pacific Coast's third largest individual import by value in 1953 and came principally from Canada, Finland, and the Scandinavian countries. Other important wood and paper product imports were lumber and shingles from Canada, the Philippines, and Japan; box materials and plywood (mainly plywood) from Japan; other wood manufac tures ; and pulpwood and logs from Canada. The Los Angeles customs district was the leading im porter of wood and paper products, accounting for $34 million and 43 percent of the Pacific Coast total. About two-thirds of this amount consisted of newsprint. Al though the San Francisco customs district only imported $22 million of wood and paper products in 1953, twothirds of this also consisted of newsprint. The Com m odity Com position of Pacific Coast Im ports Vegetable food products the leading import commodity group Four-fifths of the Pacific Coast's imports by value were composed of five commodity classifications: vegetable food products, metals and manufactures, wood and paper products, inedible vegetable products, and nonmetallic minerals. As in the case of exports, vegetable food prod ucts was the most important commodity group, consti tuting 38 percent of import value and totaling $288 mil lion. The San Francisco customs district accounted for 70 percent of the total and the Los Angeles district for 19 percent. More than four-fifths of the Pacific Coast total consisted of imports of coffee, which is the leading Pacific Coast import. Imports of raw or green coffee comprised almost one-third of Pacific Coast imports by value—or $236 million—and were by far the most important single import commodity. Three-fourths of the coffee imports were shipped to Pacific Coast ports by three countries. Brazil supplied approximately one-third of the total, Co lombia a little less than one-third, and El Salvador, 9 per cent. Copra and rubber were the principal inedible vegetable imports The Pacific Coast imported $73 million of inedible vegetable products in 1953, the fourth largest commodity group in terms of value. Of this total, 58 percent, or $42 million, was composed of copra, which was the Pacific Coast’s fourth most valuable import. All of the copra was shipped from the Philippines. Two-thirds of it entered through the San Francisco customs district, while the remainder was shipped through the Los Angeles district. Another 29 percent of the value of inedible vegetable products consisted of imports of crude rubber, which totaled $21 million. Most of the supply originated from British Malaya and Indonesia. The major proportion of the rubber imports entered through the Los Angeles cus toms district and accounted for almost half of that dis trict's imports of inedible vegetable products. Metals and manufactures accounted for 73 percent of import value The second most important commodity group on the import side was the metals and metal manufactures cate gory, which accounted for 13 percent of Pacific Coast im port value. Three-fourths of the total value of $101 million was made up of nonferrous ores and products. Copper ore, concentrates, and scrap from Canada, the Philippines, Chile, Australia, and Peru accounted for slightly more than one-third of the total metals and manufactures im ports. Lead ores, concentrates, and scrap from Peru, Bo livia, and Australia accounted for 14 percent. Other sig nificant nonferrous metal imports in 1953 were crude and Imports of nonmetallic minerals in fifth place The fifth largest import category in 1953 on the Pacific Coast was nonmetallic minerals. Slightly more than half of the total was imported into the San Francisco customs 4 geles customs district shipped slightly more than half of these exports by value, the San Francisco district a little more than one-fourth, and the Washington customs dis trict accounted for one-fifth. Almost 70 percent of the total consisted of nonmetallic minerals (mainly petroleum products). Vegetable food products, machinery and ve hicles, and metal products constituted another 20 percent. Because of the contiguity of Canada and the Washing ton customs district and because the United States also trades with Canada by rail and truck, the total of exports to Canada by vessel is quite a bit smaller than the com bined total of trade by all methods of transportation. Ves sel shipments are to some extent used for heavier, lowvalue commodities, such as petroleum products, which are more suited to water transportation. Perishable com modities such as fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, are often shipped by rail or truck across the border and thus their importance in foreign trade with Canada is not fully reflected in these statistics. district, while 42 percent entered the Los Angeles customs district. Crude petroleum, amounting to $52 million, or 79 percent of nonmetallic mineral import value, was the leading commodity in this group and also the second larg est individual commodity import by value on the Pacific Coast. It accounted for 87 percent of the San Francisco district’s imports of nonmetallic minerals and 80 percent of those of Los Angeles. The principal sources of petro leum products were Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Pacific Coast Exports b y Country More than half of Pacific Coast exports destined for Asia More than half, or 55 percent, of the Pacific Coast's exports were destined for the countries of Asia (East Asia and Southern and Southeast Asia) in 1953. Japan was the principal market for Pacific Coast exports, ac counting for 30 percent of our export value, or $273 mil lion. The San Francisco customs district was responsible for 41 percent of the Pacific Coast's exports to Japan, followed by Los Angeles with 25 percent and Oregon with 24 percent. The most important category of exports to Japan was the vegetable food products group, totaling $113 million and consisting primarily of grains. More than half of this total consisted of wheat, while barley and rye and rice exports were also shipped in significant volume. Other major exports to Japan were textile fibers and manu factures (principally raw cotton), nonmetallic minerals (residual fuel oil and other petroleum products), machin ery and vehicles (mainly industrial machinery), and in edible animal products (such as raw hides and skins). India In fourth place as a destination for exports was India. Pacific Coast exports to India reached $46 million in 1953 and accounted for 5 percent of the total export value of the Pacific Coast. The Oregon customs district handled 60 percent of the total, almost all of it consisting of wheat shipments. Altogether, 72 percent of Pacific Coast ex ports to India consisted of wheat. Another 12 percent consisted of raw cotton. European markets The next five countries in order of importance in 1953 were European countries— France, West Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The countries of Europe as a whole accounted for 19 percent of total Pacific Coast export value. Of the $176 million exported to Europe, more than one-third consisted of vegetable food products (wheat and fruits and fruit products). The textile fibers and manufactures group (mostly raw cot ton) was next in importance. Another major export was metals and manufactures of approximately $25 million— principally refined metals in crude forms shipped from the Washington customs district. The Los Angeles customs district accounted for 36 percent of total Pacific Coast exports to Europe, while the San Francisco district ac counted for slightly over one-third of the total. The Wash ington customs district accounted for another 21 percent, leaving 10 percent for the Oregon customs district. Philippines the second largest customer Another Asian country, the Republic of the Philip pines, was the Pacific Coast's second largest customer, taking $105 million worth of our goods and accounting for 11 percent of our export value. Sixty percent of our export trade with the Philippines was handled by the San Francisco customs district, while Los Angeles was second with 19 percent and Oregon third with 13 percent. The leading commodity group was machinery and ve hicles, totaling $25 million and consisting mostly of in dustrial machinery. Edible animals and animal products (primarily dairy products, such as concentrated and evap orated milk and dried milk solids, and fish and fish prod ucts), vegetable food products (wheat flour and other flour and grain preparations, fruits and vegetables and their preparations, and table beverages), chemicals and manufactures (medical and pharmaceutical preparations, pigments, paints and varnishes, and chemical specialties), and metals and manufactures (including rolled and fin ished steel products) were the other principal commodity group exports to the Philippines. South America A third major trading area for the Pacific Coast cus toms districts was South America, which accounted for 7 percent, or $64 million, of the Pacific Coast's total ex port value. Four countries— Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, and Brazil—accounted for four-fifths of the total. The leading export categories were machinery and vehicles and vegetable food products, each contributing approxi mately one-fourth of the total export value of merchandise shipped to South American nations. Canada the third most important market The third most important market for the exports of the Pacific Coast customs districts was Canada, which pur chased $75 million of these goods in 1953. The Los An 5 A little less than one-third of the total was composed of imports of edible animal products (most of which were fish and fish products). Wood and paper products (prin cipally plywood) accounted for about 20 percent of the total. Textile products (silk and manufactured cotton products) accounted for 15 percent. Also contributing 15 percent of Japanese import value was the metals and metal products group, about half of which consisted of rolled and finished steel products, while one-third was alu minum metal and alloys in crude and semifabricated forms. Ten percent consisted of miscellaneous goods such as toys, cameras, and other manufactured consumer goods produced in Japan. The nonmetallic minerals category was in sixth place with 9 percent of the import total. Ninety percent of this was clay products, largely chinaware. Pacific Coast Im ports b y Country The same four geographical areas which dominated the export trade of the Pacific Coast appeared again to be of primary importance on the import side, although in some what different order. Asia again was first, followed, how ever, by Europe, North America, and South America. These four areas accounted for 84 percent of total import value in 1953. Brazil is the leading source of imports Despite the primary importance of Asia as a source of our imports, a South American nation— Brazil—is the principal country of origin for our imports. In 1953, the Pacific Coast customs districts imported $84 million of merchandise from that country, 11 percent of the total. Ninety-eight percent, or $82 million, however, consisted of only one commodity—green coffee. The dominant role of coffee imports is largely responsible for the importance of South America in the Pacific Coast import picture. The San Francisco customs district handled 69 percent of Bra zil’s imports; Washington, 13 percent; Los Angeles, 12 percent; and Oregon, 6 percent. Canada Canada was fifth in importance as a source of Pacific Coast waterborne imports. Imports by water from Canada in 1953 totaled $64 million and accounted for 8 percent of total value. Three customs districts handled most of the imports from Canada: the Washington customs district, almost 47 percent, the Los Angeles district, 30 percent, and the San Francisco district, 22 percent. About 60 per cent of import value consisted of newsprint imports of $38 million. Copper ore, concentrates, and scrap entering through the port of Tacoma, fish and fish products, log imports, and pulpwood (all of it imported through the Washington district) were other important imports from Canada. The Philippines also second on the import side The second most important country as a source of Pa cific Coast imports was the Philippines, which shipped $74 million of her goods to Pacific Coast customs districts in 1953. More than half, or 56 percent, consisted of copra imports. Other leading imports from the Philippines were copper ore, concentrates, and scrap totaling $7 million; animal feeds consisting primarily of copra meal, $6 mil lion ; nuts and preparations, $4 million; and lumber and shingles, $3 million. These five commodity classifications accounted for five-sixths of the total value of imports from the Philippines. Exactly 50 percent of Philippine imports entered through the San Francisco customs district; another 35 percent entered through the Los Angeles cus toms district. The United Kingdom Sixth in order of importance was the United Kingdom, whose $43 million of goods imported into the Pacific Coast customs districts constituted 38 percent of the value of imports from Europe. Two commodity groups ac counted for 75 percent of the value: machinery and ve hicles and vegetable food products. Slightly more than three-fourths of the machinery and vehicle imports con sisted of automobiles and parts, while 87 percent of the vegetable food product imports were distilled spirits, malt liquors, and wines. The Los Angeles customs district handled 56 percent of the Pacific Coast's import trade with the United Kingdom, while the San Francisco cus toms district imported 29 percent of the total. Also among the first ten countries ranked in order as sources of Pacific Coast imports were Indonesia with its crude rubber, Australia with its wool and lead ore im ports, Peru with its lead and copper ore imports, and El Salvador’s coffee imports. Colombian imports the third largest Imports from Colombia were the third largest by value in 1953, totaling $72 million and consisting almost exclu sively of imports of coffee. Four-fifths of the Colombia imports were shipped into the San Francisco customs dis trict, where most of the coffee roasting industry in the Twelfth District is concentrated. The Los Angeles cus toms district, in contrast, imported only 9 percent of the total by value, while Oregon and Washington shared equally in the remainder of the import trade with Co lombia. The Direction and Com m odity Com position of the W aterborne Foreign Exports of the Pacific Coast b y Customs Districts Japan Japan was the fourth most important source of Pacific Coast imports in 1953, accounting for $70 million or about 9 percent of the total. The Los Angeles customs district imported 45 percent of the total, while the San Francisco district accounted for approximately one-third. The Washington customs district was third with 15 percent. The San Francisco customs district Considering the customs districts individually, the veg etable food products classification was the leading com modity group export for San Francisco as for the Pacific 6 paper products contributed another 13 percent of the total for third place. The geographical distribution of Washington’s export trade followed the general pattern of the other customs districts, with the exception of Oregon. The Washington customs district shipped 43 percent of its exports to Asia, 27 percent to Europe, 13 percent to North American countries, and 10 percent to South America. Coast as a whole, with 33 percent of San Francisco’s total. Like the Pacific Coast too, machinery and vehicle exports were second by value for the San Francisco district, ac counting for 20 percent of total value. Nonmetallic min erals, textile fibers and manufactures, and edible animal products each contributed from 7 to 8 percent of export value as the next most important commodity categories. The orientation of Pacific Coast exports towards the countries of Asia is reflected in the statistics for the San Francisco customs district. Sixty percent of San Fran cisco’s exports in 1953 were shipped to Asia. Europe was second with 17 percent. North America, with 5.8 percent of the total, and South America, with 5.5 percent, were third and fourth respectively. The San Diego customs district The San Diego customs district’s waterborne exports consisted of inedible animal products, 33 percent; textile fibers and manufactures (raw cotton), 31 percent, and chemicals, 11 percent. More than four-fifths of this total was destined for countries of Asia. Canada and Mexico together accounted for another 15 percent. The Los Angeles customs district In the Los Angeles customs district, on the other hand, the commodity composition of exports was dominated by nonmetallic minerals (principally petroleum products), which accounted for the largest share of export value— 29 percent. Because of the importance of cotton exports to the Los Angeles district, textile fibers and manufac tures followed close behind with 27 percent of the total. In third place were machinery and vehicle exports which contributed 14 percent of export value. Vegetable food products, chemicals and chemical products, and metals and metal manufactures made up a large part of the remainder. The geographical pattern of Los Angeles’ exports again emphasized the importance of Asia. Of the exports from this customs district, 41 percent were directed to Asian nations. Europe was next in importance as a market with 24 percent of export value, while North America (Canada and Mexico) was third with 18 percent. South America was a poor fourth with 8 percent of the total. The Direction and Com m odity Composition of the W aterborne Foreign Im ports of the Pacific Coast b y Customs Districts The San Francisco customs district Although the five leading Pacific Coast import com modity groups were also important in the trade of the individual customs districts, their relative importance varied from district to district. Vegetable food products was the most important import commodity group for the San Francisco district, contributing more than half of total value. Nonmetallic minerals were second, followed by inedible vegetable products, metals and metal prod ucts, and wood and paper products. The geographical importance of various trade areas to individual customs districts also differed from the pattern for the entire Pacific Coast. South America was the prin cipal supplier of San Francisco’s imports because of the importance of the coffee trade to the district. Imports from South America accounted for 37 percent of San Francisco’s import value. Coffee imports from Central America also help to explain the 13 percent share of that area in San Francisco’s import trade. Asia ranked second in import value with 29 percent of the total, while Europe was fourth, providing 9 percent. The Oregon customs district The Oregon and Washington customs districts re vealed a wholly different commodity pattern of exports because of the less diversified nature of the Pacific North west economy. Vegetable food products, comprised prin cipally of wheat, accounted for almost three-fourths of total Oregon district export value, while wood and paper exports accounted for 16 percent. All other export cate gories were relatively unimportant. Like the rest of the Pacific Coast customs districts, the Oregon district shipped the largest share of its exports to Asia— 71 percent. Europe was second with 9 percent, Africa a rather surprising third with 5.8 percent, and South America was fourth with 5.7 percent. The Los Angeles customs district Vegetable food products, accounting for 21 percent of the Los Angeles customs district’s imports, was also the principal commodity group import for that district and for the Pacific Coast. The second most important com modity group import for Los Angeles, however, was the inedible vegetable products group. Rubber imports through the Los Angeles district contributed to the 16 percent share of inedible vegetable products in Los An geles’ import value. Wood and paper products, non metallic minerals, metals and metal products, and ma chinery and vehicles were next in order of significance. Asia accounted for 39 percent of Los Angeles’ import value in 1953. Imports from Europe were 24 percent of the total; South America, 13 percent; and North Amer ica, 9 percent; whereas the Pacific Coast’s major trading areas were South America, North America, Asia, and Europe in that order. The Washington customs district In the Washington customs district, three commodity categories accounted for the major share of export value. Vegetable food exports were again the leading commodity group, although by a significantly smaller percentage than the Oregon district— 40 percent. In second place were metal product exports (mainly refined copper in crude forms) with almost one-fourth of export value. Wood and 7 role of Pacific Coast ports in channeling trade between foreign countries is of vital importance. The three foreign trade zones established on the Pacific Coast (Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles), moreover, have been de signed to foster this type of trade. Inbound in-transit ship ments in 1953 totaled $40 million and were about 5 per cent of the total value of Pacific Coast imports. Outbound in-transit shipments were substantially larger. They totaled $99 million and constituted about one-tenth of the value of Pacific Coast exports. The excess of outbound over inbound in-transit shipments is accounted for in con siderable part by shipments of cotton which came into the United States from Mexico by land transportation and were shipped out by water carriers. The San Francisco customs district handled 42 percent of the Pacific Coast's inbound in-transit trade in 1953. Los Angeles accounted for 38 percent, while the Wash ington customs district handled 18 percent. These inbound in-transit shipments consisted of vegetable food products (such as bananas and coffee), inedible vegetable products (mainly rubber), textile fibers and manufactures (raw cotton), metals and manufactures, and machinery and vehicles en route to other foreign countries. One-fourth of these inbound shipments came from Japan, 23 percent from British Malaya, 12 percent from Costa Rica, and lesser amounts from Colombia, Peru, Chile, India, Mex ico, and other countries. The Oregon customs district The emphasis in the Oregon customs district's imports was also on vegetable food products, which accounted for 43 percent of import value. Edible animal products were some distance behind with 13 percent of the total. Textile fibers and manufactures accounted for 12 percent in third place, while metal products imports comprised 11 percent. The commodity composition of Oregon's imports differed most from the rest of the Pacific Coast districts, but this did not affect the totals since Oregon's imports were rela tively small. As in the San Francisco district, South America was the principal source of Oregon's imports, supplying 35 percent of import value. Asia with 31 percent, Europe with 22 percent, and Central America with 8 percent accounted for most of the remainder. The Washington customs district The Washington customs district was the only Pacific Coast district in which vegetable food products did not occupy first place. Imports of metals and metal products (mainly ores and concentrates for Washington refineries) were responsible for 42 percent of import value. Wood and paper products and vegetable food products each con tributed 18 percent to the total. Edible animal products accounted for 7 percent, while the remaining categories were relatively small. South American nations were also a leading source of ores so that South America was Washington’s most im portant trading partner on the import side with 30 percent of import value in 1953. North America (principally Can ada) was a close second with 27 percent. Asia was the next largest source of imports, accounting for 21 percent. Europe with 10 percent and Australia and Oceania with 9 percent were also significant. The Los Angeles customs district accounted for 71 per cent of the outbound in-transit shipments that passed through Pacific Coast customs districts in 1953. San Francisco was second with 19 percent, while the San Diego customs district was third with 8 percent of the total. Textile fibers and manufactures were by far the most important commodity group—72 percent of out bound value—and consisted almost entirely of shipments of raw cotton. The raw cotton was principally Mexican cotton which was being shipped to overseas destinations through the customs districts of San Diego and Los An geles. The second largest commodity group on the out bound side was inedible vegetable products— 11 percent. In third place was vegetable food products with 6 percent of outbound in-transit value. The principal destination for these outbound shipments was Japan, which received 57 percent of this merchandise by value. Belgium was the second largest recipient, but trailed far behind with only 7 percent of the total. Countries of the Western Hemi sphere and Europe accounted for the major share of the rest of the trade. The San Diego customs district In the San Diego customs district, 57 percent of dollar import value was composed of wood and paper imports, which consisted primarily of newsprint. Edible animal products and chemical products each accounted for 14 percent. These imports came from three trading areas: Europe, 44 percent; North America, 37 percent; and South America, 19 percent. In-transit Trade The volume of in-transit trade carried on by the cus toms districts on the Pacific Coast is small in relation to the over-all volume of foreign trade.

Excluded are export and import shipments by land carriers (rail or truck) or by air. Total trade figures by all means of trans portation (land, air, and vessel) therefore differ from waterborne trade by the amount of land and air shipments excluded. In addition, there is some difference in the way in which imports and exports are credited to the various customs districts. For waterborne trade, exports are cred ited to the customs district in which the cargoes are laden on shipboard while imports are credited to the customs district of unlading. In the case of total trade, exports are credited to the customs district from which the goods leave the country (except for vessel and air shipments, which are credited to the district of lading) and thus also include goods transshipped from other customs districts in the United States. Imports, on the other hand, are credited to the customs district in which the goods enter warehouses or are made available for immediate con sumption. This credited district may be different from the district through which the goods entered the country. The difference between waterborne and total trade sta tistics is most significant for the San Diego and Wash ington customs districts because of the substantial volume of foreign trade by land carriers in these two districts. Y V T aterborne DEFINITION OF TERMS of the major summary figures or the reliability of the majority of the detail totals on cross-classifications to any appreciable extent. This is true because the low-value shipments account for a very small proportion of the total shipping weight or dollar value of export shipments. Exports Vessel exports represent exports of domestic merchan dise and foreign merchandise (re-exports) laden at the United States Customs area ports for shipment to foreign countries. They are credited to the customs district and port at which the merchandise was laden and include ex port shipments to United States civilian Government agencies and exports under the various foreign aid pro grams made on commercial vessels not controlled by the Department of Defense. Excluded from export figures are shipments to the United States Armed Forces abroad for their own use, shipments between continental United States and its Ter ritories and Possessions, and shipments of “ special category” commodities (items whose shipment is not revealed for security reasons). Shipments of Department of De fense controlled cargo are also excluded. These shipments represent cargo exported by the Department of Defense under special foreign aid programs, that is, Civilian Sup ply, Foreign Operations Administration, Mutual Defense Assistance, etc., on United States flag vessels such as Army or Navy transports and commercial vessels char tered by the Department of Defense under time charter, voyage charter, and space charter arrangements. Effective with the statistics for July 1953, export ship ments of domestic and foreign merchandise valued at $500 or more are completely covered, but data for shipments valued at $100-$499 are based on a 10 percent random sample. According to the Bureau of the Census, the appli cation of this sampling procedure generally has only an insignificant effect on the major summary figures on ship ping statistics, such as the figures on shipping weight of total waterborne exports by type of vessel service, the shipping weight totals by United States coastal districts, customs districts, port totals, foreign trade area totals, etc. The effect, of course, is greater where greater detail is shown such as in cross-classifications of United States port by foreign port by commodity. Nevertheless, the over-all effect of sampling should not affect the accuracy Imports Vessel imports represent general imports unladen from vessels, that is, the total of imports for immediate con sumption plus entries into Customs bonded storage and manufacturing warehouses. Imports by vessel are credited to the customs district and port at which the merchandise was unladen, even though this may be different from the customs district in which the goods were entered into warehouses or entered for immediate consumption. Vessel import figures exclude American goods re turned by the United States Armed Forces for their own use, import shipments on Army or Navy transports and vessels under time and voyage charter to the Military Sea Transportation Service and shipments valued at under $100 where the shipping weight is less than 10,000 pounds (import shipments of 10,000 pounds or over are included regardless of value). The following types of shipments are excluded from both the vessel export and import data: (1) shipments of household and personal effects, (2) shipments by mail and parcel post, and (3) shipments of vessels under their own power and afloat. Shipping weight Shipping weight figures represent the gross weight in pounds of shipments, including the weight of containers, wrappings, crates, and moisture content. Value Vessel export values represent the values in dollars at time and place of export. They are based on the selling price (or on the cost if not sold) and include inland freight, insurance, and other charges to place of export. Transportation and other costs beyond the United States port of exportation are excluded. 30 Vessel import values, as well as the values for in-transit shipments, are generally based on the market or selling price and are in general f .o.b. the exporting country. Since in-transit merchandise is not subject to the imposition of import duties at the United States, the valuation reported for such shipments is not verified by Customs to the ex tent applicable in the case of import entries and may in some cases include transportation costs and insurance to the United States as well as other cost elements. United States Foreign Trade Statistics, January 1, 1952 issue. In the statistics used in this report, vessel exports are credited to the country of final destination, which is not necessarily the country in which the merchandise was unladen. Vessel imports are credited to the country in which the merchandise originated, which is not necessar ily the country in which the merchandise was laden aboard the vessel for shipment to the United States. Type of vessel In-transit trade Vessel shipments are classified as dry cargo or tanker shipments solely on the basis of the type of vessel used without regard to the cargo carried. Tanker vessels are those primarily designed for the carriage of liquid cargoes in bulk, while all others are classified as dry cargo vessels. Dry cargo vessel shipments are further segregated on the basis of type of service, that is, liner (berth) or irregular (tramp). In this report, however, dry cargo vessel ship ments are not separated into liner and irregular service. In-transit trade includes all merchandise shipped in bond through the United States in transit from one foreign country to another without having been entered as an import. Outbound in-transit cargo shows in-transit merchandise laden aboard vessels at United States ports, while inbound in-transit cargo shows the portions of in transit merchandise unladen from vessels at United States ports. In-transit merchandise remains in Customs custody or under bond at all times while in the United States to assure that none of it enters consumption channels with out the payment of United States import duties. In-transit merchandise generally includes the following: (1) foreign merchandise transferred from one vessel to another in the United States port of arrival and shipped to a foreign country without being released from Customs custody in the United States; (2) foreign merchandise shipped through the United States under Customs bond, leaving the United States from a port other than that at which it arrived; (3) foreign merchandise withdrawn from a general order warehouse for immediate export or for transportation and export (such merchandise is not re corded as an import when it enters the warehouse) ; and (4) foreign merchandise shipped from a United States Foreign Trade Zone to a foreign country (such merchan dise is deposited in the Foreign Trade Zone without be ing entered as an import). Commodifies The commodity categories for imports follow the groupings set up in Schedule T, Statistical Classification of Imports into the United States Arranged in Shipping Commodity Groups, effective January 1, 1953. This schedule represents the condensation into 163 shipping commodity groupings of approximately 6,000 commodity classifications appearing in the August 1, 1950 edition of Schedule A, Statistical Classification of Commodities Imported into the United States. The commodity groupings for exports are those pub lished in Schedule S, Statistical Classification of Domestic and Foreign Merchandise Exported from the United States Arranged in Shipping Commodity Groups, effec tive January 1,1953. Schedule S represents the condensa tion into 188 shipping commodity groupings of approxi mately 2,900 commodity classifications appearing in the January 1, 1952 edition of Schedule B, Statistical Classi fication of Domestic and Foreign Commodities Exported from the United States. Country Country designations are those used in Schedule C, Classification of Designations Used in Compiling the 31 United States customs districts and ports United States customs district and port designations follow the classifications set up by the Bureau of the Census in Schedule D, Code Classification of United States Customs Districts and Ports, January 1, 1952 issue.
