_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: (1) Table includes SIC groups where ATPA duty-free imports not eligible for GSP (Total ATPA Benefits) increased by greater than
                  $1 million, and were greater than one percent of total U.S. imports of that SIC group in 2000.
             (2) '"ATPA-plus" denotes products eligible or possibly eligible for ATPA duty-free treatment, and
                   "ATPA-plus, not GSP" denotes products eligible or possibly eligible for ATPA duty-free treatment, but not eligible
                    for GSP duty-free treatment. 
             (3) Time consistent definition, i.e. includes trade data for items eligible for the ATPA, but not the GSP for any part of 1999-2000.
             (4) Actual definition, i.e. includes data for items eligible for the ATPA, but not the GSP only for the time that they were ATPA, not GSP.
             (5) "0.0" denotes less than $50 thousand or 0.05 percent; "." denotes zero.   
             (6) "*" denotes that the SIC group also appears in Table 14.
             (7) Based upon the 1998 SIC/HTS concordance.
