*APPAREL

PURPOSE

To provide detailed data on production, quantity and total value of shipments of selected apparel items. The United StatesCode, Title 13, requires this survey and provides for mandatory responses.

COVERAGE

Manufacturers, government contractors, and jobbers that cut and sew apparel (mostly but not all are in SIC 23), except smallfirms (generally less than 5 employees) for which census of manufactures data were from administrative records. Garmentswhich are cut in the U.S. and sent outside the country to be sewn are included in this report. In 1993, apparel shipmentsamounted to nearly $37 billion.

CONTENT

Data are collected on over 70 types of apparel. Product data at the 7-digit SIC level include total quantity produced by typeof fabric and total value of shipments. Small firms reporting annually do not provide detail by fabric type.

FREQUENCY

Quarterly and annually; reported data are for activities taking place during the applicable reporting period. Data on apparelhave been collected since 1923.

METHODS

A mail-out/mail-back quarterly survey of 1,175 manufacturers that account for 95 percent of apparel cuttings; approximately1,250 small firms receive an annual short form. The universe for this survey was the 1992 Census of Manufactures. Firms arecontacted using form MQ23A and short form MA23A. Data are estimated quarterly for small establishments that reportannually. Estimates are based on previous annual data and the trend of those reporting quarterly. Quarterly data may berevised if firms later provide corrected data.

*The apparel industry is characterized by three types ofoperations �manufacturers,jobbers,and contractors.The functions of the establishments classified as manufac-turers include purchasing materials,cutting and sewingthe product within the manufacturer �s establishment,andselling the finished product.The functions of the jobber,like those of the manufacturer,involve buying raw materi-als and marketing the finished product.However,unlikethe manufacturer,a jobber has a large part of the actualprocessing of the product done under contract in an out-side factory.Finally,the function of a contractor is to makeproducts in his establishment according to clearly definedspecifications,from materials owned by others.A contrac-tor,unlike the manufacturer or jobber,does not own thefinished product and does not become involved in theactual sale of the finished goods.

The purpose of this survey is to provide the totaldomestic quantity produced and value of shipments foreach type of garment.Since collecting this informationfrom all three types of establishments would result in sub-stantial duplication,only manufacturers and jobbers aresurveyed.

One other form of manufacturing apparel that isbecoming more and more significant is what we refer toas ��9802 ��(formerly 807)production.For ��9802 ��produc-tion,a domestic manufacturer or jobber buys fabrics andcuts a garment domestically,and then exports the cutpieces to be sewn.The completed garment is thenimported.Under special tariff provisions,duty is paid onlyon the value added rather than on the whole garment.Thequantity and value of these garments are included in thedomestic data,as well as in the import and export data.*Garments,Men �s and Boys �:
