The assumption is that certain commodities imported by wholesale and retail industries are not used as intermediaries. Such commodities include Mineral Fuels, and Hosiery, Clothing, and Accessories, which are most likely to be used as consumption goods, and Fabricated Metal Products, Machinery, Motor Vehicles, Other Transportation Equipment and Parts, and Electrical, Electronic, and Communication Products, which are most likely to be used as investment goods.
