520			_aThe objective of this paper is to examine the reliability of Philippine import statistics and the factors standing in the way of accurate recording of import transactions. Section I examines the official estimates of Philippine import trade with its two principal trading partners, Japan and the United States, over the 1962-69. Preliminary investigation of such discrepancies having shown evidence of apparent inaccuracies in partner country trade data as well, an alternative method of approximating the true values is presented in Section II. A comparison of diasaggregative is presented in Section III. In the last part of this paper, section IV, the relationship between tariff rates and the observed differences in pairwise recordings across commodity groups is examined statistically using the three alternative import data sets
