Trade Data Errata

If you use trade data heavily as a competitive advantage, bum information jumps put and aggravates.  Happily I discovered the department that addresses bum trade data information.  I sent in clearly wrong info on Caviar exports from USA...
This refers to your email concerning the unit price for exports of caviar (Schedule B number 1604.31.0000) to Japan during 2014. We have reviewed the data and have revised the reported statistics. Please make note of the following attachment and revisions to our published statistics. Thank you for your interest in the accuracy of our trade statistics. ... The attached revisions are also available on our website at: www.census.gov/foreign-trade/statistics/corrections/index.html In June, our revised monthly data for the three prior years will be available through our on-line data product, USA Trade. For information on our current revision policy go to: www.census.gov/foreign-trade/guide/revisions.html
So the new numbers, which you can click through, make sense.  Let me know if you find data that cannot be right, and I'll refer you to the right source to advance corrections.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
