(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 $486 million in March 2009. For additional information see www.census.gov/ft900.
