(1) Due to non-disclosure requirements, beginning with the January 2009 statistics, 
certain 10-digit Schedule B commodity classifications are subject to suppression and 
require a change in aggregation resulting in a break in series.   As a result, 
Advanced Technology Product exports are overstated by $542 million in February 2009.
