Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foreign Trade of Latin America, Vol. 1 of 3: A Report on the Trade of Latin America With Special Reference to Trade With the United States; Trade of Latin America With the World and With the United States Not only do the export and import valuation systems of the several Latin American countries differ one from another, but in any one coun try they may be subject to frequent changes. A few countries employ the f.o.b. Basis for valuations, and others the c.i.f. Basis. In some countries declared values are accepted; in others the valuations are established on the basis of official unit values. An out standing example of such valuation is that of Venezuelan exports. Exports of petroleum the dominant Venezuelan export commodity are assigned an official unit valuation, but such exports are actually worth only about 60 percent of the published values. Another example is the Guatemalan method of determining the value of imports. To the declared foreign values there is added 25 percent, an amount esti mated to cover the charges for freight, insurance, commissions, and other charges.
