MA334T — METERS AND TEST DEVICES
DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Scope of this survey

•

Interplant transfers in which products are shipped
from one plant of your company to another plant or
sales branch

•

Private brand units as well as your own company
brand units

This survey covers the manufacture of meters and test
devices and related products.
2. Figures to be reported
Companies with more than one establishment
manufacturing the products covered by this survey are
requested to complete a separate report form for each
location. If you have not received a separate form for each
of your establishments, please call the contact shown on
the report form or write to the U.S. Census Bureau for
additional forms.
a. Value of Shipments
The figures on value of shipments should include the
physical shipments of all products sold, transferred to
other establishments within your company, or shipped on
consignment, whether for domestic or export sale. The
value represents the net sales price, f.o.b. plant, to the
customer or branch to which the products are shipped, net
of discounts, allowances, freight charges and returns.
Shipments to your own branches should be assigned the
same value as comparable sales to unaffiliated customers,
i.e., the value includes an appropriate allocation of
company overhead and profit. Products bought and resold
without further manufacture should not be included in
shipments.
Report value of shipments in thousands of dollars.
Include:
•

All shipments, whether for domestic use or for export

•

Shipments on consignments as well as for sale

Exclude:
•

Products manufactured for you by others

•

Products bought and resold without further
manufacture by your company

•

Imports which are reshipped without further
domestic manufacture

b. Research and Development
Dollar shipments should reflect income from
development, design, and engineering services
performed by the reporting plant in connection with the
manufacture of the products shipped, whether included
in a single production contract, or contracted for
separately, but intended as preparation for the
manufacture of the specific products.
c. Columnar structure of report
When entering your figures on the report, please be
sure to report the information in the correct columns as
follows:
Column 1 – Value (report shipments in thousand of
dollars. (Example: $1,000,000, report
as $1,000)
3. Definitions
The product detail for this survey, as shown in the
Reference List is defined according to standard
nomenclature for this industry.
