¹Data are rounded to no more than three significant digits.--
²Trihydrate, activated, tabular, and other aluminas. Excludes calcium and sodium aluminates.--
³Includes only the end product if one type of alumina was produced and used to make another type of alumina.--
⁴Excludes consumers stocks other than those at primary aluminum plants.
⁵Calcined equivalent.
⁶Defined as domestic production plus imports minus exports plus adjustments for industry stock changes.
