The census and commodity reports will indicate distribution thresholds by the "hundreds digit" of the threshold level. In order to have a threshold take effect, it must be at least one.

Sectors importing or exporting items can be seen by the "route" command (marked with a "$") or by the sect command.

Also, note that no distribution center will ship out its last civilian.
