| 1Customs value. The price actually paid or payable for merchandise when sold for exportation to the | ||||||||||||||
| United States, excluding U.S. import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing | ||||||||||||||
| the merchandise to the United States. | ||||||||||||||
| 2Cost, insurance, and freight. The import value represents the customs value plus insurance, freight | ||||||||||||||
| and other delivery charges to the first port of entry. | ||||||||||||||
| 3Values of less than $90.00 (c.i.f.) per metric ton likely indicate the mistaken total or partial | ||||||||||||||
| inclusion of data for gray portland or similar cement or clinker. This error happens when the | ||||||||||||||
| importer records the wrong tariff number with the U.S. Customs Service. Values that exceed $200 | ||||||||||||||
| per ton likely indicate misidentified specialty cement, not white cement. | ||||||||||||||
