Total imports in this table may differ from
the figures in CANSIM table 183-0015 and in the publication 'The
Control and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages in Canada', catalogue number 63-202,
tables 1-1, 1-2, 2-1 and 2-2, due to the fact that
liquor authorities may import products in one year and store it for sale in
a subsequent year. Also, the values in this table are based on the price in
the country of origin.
Does not include foreign produce re-exported.
Note(s):
L.A.A. = Litres of absolute alcohol.
