Inland freight in Canada

  "id": "MLC-T-ECS-000951",
  "term": "Inland freight in Canada",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "An addition is made for inland freight in Canada. Imports of goods from all countries are valued at the foreign port of export, including inland freight charges (\"customs value\"). In the case of Canada, this should be the cost of the goods at the U.S. border. However, the customs value for imports for certain Canadian goods is the point of origin in Canada. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) makes an addition for the inland freight charges of transporting these Canadian goods to the U.S. border to make the value comparable to the customs value as reported by all other countries. Insurance and freight charges for transporting goods to the United States from all other countries to the U.S. border are included in services by the BEA. (The same procedure is used for Mexico as an Other Adjustment, but is much smaller.)",
