The exporter and importer databases provide a periodic database of all U.S. exporters/importers and their characteristics. The structure of the Importer Database  parallells the EDB. As a result, the IDB has the potential to create profile exhibits for importers such as Imports by Company Employment Size from World Areas and Selected Countries, among others. The Importer Database (IDB) contains key data items from export/import statistics, the Business Register establishment list (BR), and selected 5-year census files. Import data include commodities exported; and shipment value, weight, country of origin, U.S. customs port, and method of transportation. BR data include exporter/importer identification, location and employment; and parent company (if any) identification, organization, location, employment, number of establishments and ownership. Census data are from the censuses of manufactures and wholesale trade, are establishment-based and include identification, total shipments, total export/import shipments (or sales), and employment.

The Census of Manufactures (CMF) covers all manufacturing establishments with one or more paid employees. Manufacturing is defined as the mechanical, physical,or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products. The assembly of components into new products is also considered manufacturing, except when it is appropriately classified as construction.  This data is collected as part of the Economic Census. The Census of Manufactures includes questions on: General information (location, operational status, total value of shipments, input costs), products, dollar values of shipments, some physical quantities, material inputs, and special inquiries (asked of every industry or just a few.)
The Census of Manufactures can be used for research on the following: 
the universe of manufacturing firm/plants (or a representative sample)
detailed geography
narrowly-defined industry definitions 
to study entry, exit or business-level dynamics in mfg.
plant-level values of shipments and costs
plant-level data since 1963

The Censuses of Transportation, Communications, and Utilities (CUT) provide data on employment, payroll, detailed industry, and the amount of revenue by detailed source.  The files also include responses to special inquiries included on the forms for certain detailed industries. 

The industry groups (Radio and Television
Broadcasting, Cable Networks and Program Distribution, and Telecommunications) are based on differences in the methods of communication and in the nature of services provided. The Radio and
Television Broadcasting industry group includes establishments that operate broadcasting studios and facilities for over the air or satellite delivery of radio and television programs of entertainment, news, talk, and the like. These establishments are often engaged in the production and purchase of programs and generating revenues from the sale of air time to advertisers and from donations, subsidies, and/or
the sale of programs. The Cable Networks and Program Distribution industry group includes two types of establishments. Those in the Cable Networks industry operate studios and facilities for the broadcasting of programs that are typically narrowcast in nature (limited format, such as news, sports, education, and youth-oriented programming). The services of these establishments are typically sold on a subscription or fee basis. Delivery of the programs to customers is handled by other establishments, in the Cable and Other Program Distribution industry, that operate cable systems, direct-to-home satellite systems, or other similar systems. The Telecommunications industry group is primarily engaged in operating, maintaining, and/or providing access to facilities for the transmission of voice, data, text, sound, and full motion picture video between network termination points. A transmission facility may be based on a single technology or a combination oftechnologies. The Utilities component comprises establishments engaged in theprovision of the following utility services: electric power, naturalgas, steam supply, water supply, and sewage removal. Within this
sector, the specific activities associated with the utility servicesprovided vary by utility: electric power includes generation,transmission, and distribution; natural gas includes distribution;steam supply includes provision and/or distribution; water supply includes treatment and distribution; and sewage removal includescollection, treatment, and disposal of waste through sewer systems and
sewage treatment facilities.

The Census of Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate (CFI) comprises establishments primarily engaged in financial transactions (transactions involving the creation, liquidation, or change in ownership of financial assets) and/or in facilitating financial transactions.  Three principal types of activities are identified: raising funds by taking deposits and/or issuing securities and, in the process, incurring liabilities.  Establishments engaged in this activity use raised funds to acquire financial assets by making loans and/or purchasing securities. Putting themselves at risk, they channel funds from lenders to borrowers and transform or repackage the funds with respect to maturity, scale and risk. This activity is known as financial intermediation. Pooling of risk by underwriting insurance and annuities.  Establishments engaged in this activity collect fees, insurance premiums, or annuity considerations; build up reserves; invest those reserves; and make contractual payments. Fees are based on the expected incidence of the insured risk and the expected return on investment; Providing specialized services facilitating or supporting financial intermediation, insurance, and employee benefit programs. In addition, monetary authorities charged with monetary control are
included in this sector.  This sector also includes establishments primarily engaged in managing real estate for others, selling, renting and/or buying real estate for others, and appraising real estate.

The Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) is a research dataset constructed at the Census Bureau using a variety of survey and administrative data sources.  Currently, the LBD contains the universe of all U.S. business establishments with paid employees beginning in 1976. The LBD contains basic information on establishment size, industry, location and ownership that permit researchers to analyze establishment demographics. The LBD is updated annually.  

The LBD offers researchers a number of features not available in other longitudinal datasets.  These include:

Long Time Series  - The LBD contains complete establishment histories from 1975.  Precise birth and death year information are available for most establishments.

Industrial Scope - The LBD contains all employer establishments that are in scope for the Economic Census (i.e., all manufacturing, mining, construction, retail, wholesale, service, TCU and FIRE establishments) as well as a large number of public administration and other out of scope entities.

Improved Longitudinal linkages - In constructing the LBD, great care was taken to provide researchers with the most complete and accurate set of longitudinal establishment linkages possible.  This substantially reduces the number spurious establishment births and deaths observed in the data.  In addition, the LBD provides researchers with detailed flags that describe, for each establishment, the nature of the linkages over each year an establishment is observed in the data.

Linkages to other micro data - The research capabilities of the LBD can be greatly and easily enhanced by linking it to other establishment and firm information via the Employer Identification Number (EIN).

Longitudinal Business Database

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts the Service Annual Survey (SAS) to provide national estimates of annual revenues and expenses of establishments classified in select service sectors. Survey questionnaires are mailed to a probability sample that is regularly updated and periodically re-selected from a universe of firms located in the United States and having paid employees. The sample includes firms of all sizes and covers both taxable firms and firms exempt from Federal income taxes. Firms without paid employees (nonemployers) are included in the estimates through administrative data provided by other Federal agencies and through imputation.
The Service Annual Survey provides the only source of annual receipts estimates for the service industries.

Use of this data requires Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approval.  The Census Bureau will coordinate all additional necessary reviews.
