end of FY 2009 (or when the count was taken) was unusually high or low due to temporary factors (e.g., a strike), enter the number of
employees that reflects normal operations. If the number of employees fluctuates widely during the year due to seasonal business
variations, report the average number of employees on the payroll during FY 2009. Base such an average on the number of employees
on the payroll at the end of each pay period, month or quarter. If precise figures are not available, give your best estimate.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION — Expenditures made by an employer in connection with the employment of workers including cash
payments, payments in-kind, and employer expenditures for employee benefit plans including those mandated by government statute,
such as the employer’s share of Social Security taxes. Base compensation data on payroll records. Report compensation which relates

Part IV — EXPORTS AND IMPORTS BY THE U.S. REPORTER —
Goods only valued f.a.s. at the port of exportation; do not include services — See Instruction Booklet, Part V.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Report exports and imports of goods by the U.S. Reporter in FY
2004. Report all goods that physically left or entered the U.S.
customs area. Report data on a "shipped" basis, i.e., on the basis of
when and to (or by) whom the goods were shipped. This is the same
basis as official U.S. trade statistics to which these data will be
compared. Do not record a U.S. import or export if the goods did
not physically enter or leave (i.e., were not physically shipped to or
from) the United States, even if they were charged to the U.S.
Reporter by, or charged by the U.S. Reporter to, a foreign person.
U.S. Reporters normally keep their accounting records on a
"charged" basis, i.e., on the basis of when and to (or by) whom the
goods were charged. The "charged" basis may be used if there is no
material difference between it and the "shipped" basis. If there is a
material difference, the "shipped" basis must be used or adjustments
made to data on a "charged" basis to approximate a "shipped" basis.
The data should include goods only; they should exclude services.
Capital goods — Include capital goods but exclude the value of
ships, planes, railroad rolling stock, and trucks that were temporarily
outside the United States transporting people or goods.
Consigned goods — Include consigned goods in the trade figures
when shipped or received, even though they are not normally
recorded as sales or purchases, or entered into intercompany
accounts when initially consigned.
In-transit goods — Exclude from exports and imports the value of
goods that are in-transit. In-transit goods are goods that are not
processed or consumed by residents in the intermediate country(ies)
through which they transit; the in-transit goods enter that

country(ies) only because that country(ies) is along the shipping
lines between the exporting and importing countries. In-transit
goods are goods en route from one foreign country to another via
the United States (such as from Canada to Mexico via the United
States), and in-transit exports are goods en route from one part of
the United States to another part via a foreign country (such as
from Alaska to Washington State via Canada).
Packaged general use computer software — Include exports
and imports of packaged general use computer software. Value such
exports and imports at the full transaction value, i.e., the market
value of the media on which the software is recorded and the value
of the information contained on the media. Do not include exports
and imports of customized software designed to meet the needs of a
specific user. This type of software is considered a service and
should not be included as trade in goods. Also do not include
negotiated leasing fees for software that is to be used on networks.
Natural gas distribution — Include the value of natural gas that is
exported or imported as trade in goods. Do not include as an export
or import natural gas that you do not produce or sell at wholesale.
The transmission of natural gas for others via a pipeline without
producing or wholesaling the natural gas is considered a service and
should not be reported as trade in goods.
Electricity and Water — Report the value of electricity and water as
exports and imports if the product value can be separated out from
the service value. Report ONLY the product value (electricity and
water). DO NOT report the service value (transmission and
distribution).
