SYSTEM OF TRADE CLASSIFICATION The Standard International Trade Classification Rev.3 issued by the Statistical Office in the United Nations as Statistical Papers Series M. No.

34/Rev.3 1986 has been adopted in Dominica since January 01,1992, with suitable modifications for the classification of all merchandise.
Prior to this series No.34fRev.2 of 1974 was issued.

The main sections of the S.I.T.C.

(Rev.3) are:- Section o Food and Live Animals chiefly for food Beverages and Tobacco Crude Materials, Inedible, except fuel Mineral Fuels, Lubricants and related materiqls, Animals and Vegetables Oils, Fats and Waxes Chemicals and Related Products, N.E.S.
Manufactured goods classified chiefly by material Machinery and Transport Equipment Miscellaneous Manufactured Articles Commodities and Transactions not classified elsewhere in the S.LT.C.

.2.

SYSTEM OF TRADE • The "SPECIAL TRADE" system has been used in the tabulations.

That is, import figures include all goods cleared ex-warehouses for domestic consumption and they exclude all goods.

which remain in the custody of customs in bonded warehouses.
Goods cleared ex-warehouses for exports have also been included.

Thus, there is an appropriation to General Trade.

Exports are divided into exports of domestic produce and re-exports, shown sep~ately.

The latter are goods exported essentially in the same condition in which they are imported.

Exports of domestic produce include previously imported goods, which have been transformed by processing in this c~untry.
i Except in the ease of goods cleared ex-warehouses, goods in transit through the 'State are not included in the trade figures.

3.

QUANTITIES AND VALUES Generally, all quantities and values have been based upon the declaration of importers and exporters on the customs documents.

which are subjected to verification by customs officials.

All values are shown in East Caribbean Cunency Dollars.

C.I.F.

Value is used in respect of all imports.


This valuation is by definition the price which an importer would give for the goods on a purchase in the open market.

if the goods are delivered to him at the port of importation, freight, insurance, commission and all other costs, charges and expenses incidental to the purchase and delivery at that port (except any duties of customs) having been paid.

• iv F.O.S.

Value is used in respect of exports.


This is defined as the value at which goods were sold by the exporter, and includes all local charges to the exporting vessel or aircraft.

Sea and airfreight, and marine and It includes air insurance are not included and cash and trade discounts to the purchaser abroad are deducted.

local customs charges and other taxes in the State.

'.

This F.O.S.
'.

This F.O.S.

Value is at best an estimate for the following reasons:- (a) (b) Particulars of values of goods shipped on consignment are not available at the time of shipment.

Reasonable estimates therefore, have had to be made until more reliable figures could be used.

There have been valuable exports of goods shipped from certain Subsidiary Companies to principals' abroad.
Since there is the possibility of undervaluation by those firms, the values used have been based on (i) World Market prices where availilble and (ii) Value of allied commodities exported.

Articles exported from the country for repair are not valued on exportation and pnly the cost of repairs (plus any other appropriate charges) are shown on re-importation.

, , All quantities quoted in this report are in tonnes.
DEFINITION OF COUNTRIES AND AREAS The Statistics reported refer to the sovereign democratic republic of the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Imports are ascribed to the countries of origin of the goods.

The Country of origin is defined as the country in.

which the goods were wholly produced or manufactured, or the country in which any !inal operation altered, to any appreciable extent, the character, composition and value of partly manufactured goods imported into the country.
When the country of origin cannot be ascertained, the "country of consignment" is used, that is, the country from which the goods were dispatched.

Exports are ascribed to the countries of final destination, when known, or alternatively they are ascribed to the countries of last known destination.

These are not necessary the countries offinal'consumption.
, The definition of countries and areas are as given in a draft countries list prepared by the United Nations Statistical Office (but see also special notes on geographical breakdown).

, • v .5.

EXCLUSIONS • The following items have been excluded from the Trade Statistics:- (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Ship's stores and bunkers supplied to locally registered craft. '

I ' Gold coin and bullion, issued coinage and issued bank notes.'

Goods on lease such as cinematographic films.


Goods on loan such as samples for exhibition or study.

Gifts from UNICEF and similar organisations.

Parcel Post items of imports or less than $5.00 strongly suspected as gifts.

6.

PERIOD COVERED The figures of imports and exports represent totals shown on all customs documents brought to account during the calendar year 1st January to 31st December, 1997.
These do not necessarily include only goods or all goods, Which arrived into or were shipped from this territory during the period.

;This definition although it may on occasions result in apparent discrepancies between the customs figures Qlf imports and exports and figures obtained from other sources, must for various reasons be maintained.
