Information is not available by countries of origin. The value of the imports of these yarns partly of wool or worsted, or of a combination of wool and worsted was, for the periods required, included with the value of the imports of "other textile manufactures" for which separate headings were not provided in the Official Import List and, accordingly, information for the value of these imports is not available.
