U.S. Exports and U.S. Imports Going to DVD

Libraries selecting item number 0154-D may have noticed that U.S. Imports of Merchandise (C 3.278/2:) and U.S. Exports of Merchandise (C 3.278/3:) have come in both CD-ROM and DVD recently. The agency is switching to the DVD format and will be going exclusively to DVD beginning with the January 2003 issues. There is no content difference between the two formats, but both were issued to allow subscribers to transition into the new format. Distribution to depositories will be in both formats until the last 2002 issue, then will go to DVD only starting in January 2003.
