U.S. production volumes are classified as confidential business information.
US ProductionCBI
Confidential Business Information. The EPA withholds this volume because publishing it could reveal the reporting company's trade secrets.
Import Value$60M
Top SourceIsrael 29%
The EPA did not publish how much of this chemical companies made or imported, or marked that amount confidential. Without that volume, ACID cannot calculate import dependency.
