CRTs and <strong>Products</strong> Containing CRTsCRTs and products containing CRTs were separated into four subgroups: televisions,computer monitors, other equipment containing CRTs, and bare tubes (tables H.9 toH.24; figures H.3–H.6). Each subgroup had a unique AUV and shipment pr<strong>of</strong>ile due tothe diversity <strong>of</strong> the products contained within the group. For CRT product groupings, theshare <strong>of</strong> shipments going to OECD countries was considerably higher than for cellphones and computers. This is primarily due to the fact that Mexico was the leadingdestination for shipments in each category. In most subgroups, Mexico was also theleading destination for the highest number <strong>of</strong> units.Of CRT-containing products, televisions were the largest exported subgroup, in terms <strong>of</strong>both quantity and value. For the bottom 10th percentile <strong>of</strong> AUVs, Mexico was theprimary market for U.S. exports by a considerable margin. The next-largest destinationswere also in Latin America, particularly Panama, Venezuela, and Argentina. A noticeabledistinction between Mexico and other markets is that shipments to Mexico contained farfewer units per shipment. This could indicate that the proximity <strong>of</strong> Mexico and its landborder allow shipments by trucks, rather than by ship, making it a more economicalmarket for heavy, bulky CRT televisions.The Census data show a relatively small number <strong>of</strong> U.S. low-value exports <strong>of</strong> CRTshoused with data processing units and exports <strong>of</strong> bare CRTs (tables H.17-H.24; figures H.5-H.6). In fact, in many cases, the data cannot be reported because <strong>of</strong> the low number <strong>of</strong>shipments or firms involved in exports to specific countries.H-9
