_Import statistics._—Imports for consumption are shown in tables 62
and 63. Table 62 shows imports of phenol or carbolic acid and table 63
imports of “all distillates of tars yielding below 190° C. an amount of
tar acids equal to or more than 5 percent.” Imports under the latter
classification prior to 1928 were probably chiefly phenol. Phenol imports
consist entirely of the natural product.
