"The foreign trade statistics are based upon confidential, individual business transactions between U.S. exporters/importers and their foreign customers. Because of the sensitivity of the commercial data collected, it is important to ensure their confidentiality. The Census Bureau created the International Trade Statistics Security Guidelines to ensure U.S. Government Agencies have the necessary information to properly safeguard and control the data."
