In general, the available statistics of imports do not segregate imports
of the specified articles made of synthetic resin from those of the same
articles made of other materials; and the same situation is true of
imports of unspecified articles wholly of synthetic resin which enter
under paragraph 1558. Imports of manufactured articles, n. s. p. f. in
which synthetic resin is the chief binding agent under paragraph 1539
have been small. Figures for recent years are given in table 16.
