SYSTEM UF TRADE The "SPECIAL TRADE n system has been ul;;C?d in the tClbulat ions.

Th<..ll is.

imports flgures include all goods Cleared ex-warehouses for domestic consumption and they exclude all goods which remain in the custody of customs iIJ 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~rately.
Thp lattpr are goods exported esential1y in the same conditi,]n in which they are imported.

Exporets of domestic produce include previou~ly imported goods which have been transformed by processing in this country.

Except in the case of goods cleared ex-warehouses, goods intransit through the State are not iIlcluded in the trade figures.

QUANTITIES·AND VALUES Generally, all quantities and values have been based upon the declaration of importers and exporters on the customs documents which are subject to verifIcation by customs officials.

All values are shown in East Caribbean Currency Dollars.

C.I.F.

Value is llsed in respect of all imports.


Tltis valuation is by definition lIthe 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 olher costs, charges and expenses incidental to the purchase and delivery at that pc)rt (except any duties of customs) having been paid."

(Sec 15 (2) (a) of Chapter 282 of the Laws of Dominica 1961) F.U.B.
VilluC" is ust'd in rpspeC't of exports.

This is defined <.lS the V,dlll' at which goods were sold by the eXpol-ter, and includes all local charge::; tv the exporting vessel ar aircraft.

Sed and air freight, dlld marine and air Insurance are not included dnd cash and trade discollnts to the purchaser abroad are deducted.

It includes local customs charges and other taxes in the State.

This F.U.B.
This F.U.B.

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

Reason~ble estimates therefore, have had to be made until more reliable figures could bp llsed.

(b) There have been valuable exports of goods shipped from certain Subs~diary Companies to principals abroad.
Since there is the possibility of undervaluation by those firms, the values used have been bOHcd OIl (i) WUl"ld Mat"kl'l pI-ices wtlcre availab:e ilnd (ii) Vi\lu~s of allpid commodities exported.

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

which arrived into or were shipped from this territory during the period.
This definition although it mayan occasions result in apparent discrepancies between the customs figures of imports and exports and figures obtained from other sources, must for various reasons be maintained.
