The Census Bureau will select a sample from U.S. manufacturing, mining, and wholesale establishments, enterprise support establishments, electronic shopping, mail-order houses, and publishing establishments. By collecting basic information about shipping activity and the total annual value of in-scope commodity goods shipped, the 2017 Advance Questionnaire for the Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) will greatly improve the sampling efficiency of auxiliary establishments in the 2017 CFS. In addition, the contact and address information collected will improve the reporting accuracy and timeliness of the 2017 CFS.
