The summary data published in this report have been fully revised and should be regarded as final.

The Central Statistical Office adopts this medium to record its appreciatIOn to the Comptroller of Customs and Staff for the co-operation in the compilation of the data using the ASYClJDA Software, which was implemented in Dominica in January 1992.
The office also acknowledges the efforts made by the staff of its own Trade Unit and Computer Section, in coding and checking the source documents, and computer processing of the data using EUROTRACE.

EUROTRACE is a computer package implemented by the Central Statistical Office and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Secretariat in January 1992, to process and tabulate trade data originating from ASYCUDA.
From January 2007 the Customs department introduced the 2002 Harmonised System Codes and Tariff.

The Central Statistical Office reviewed and performed all modifications to this tariff in order to present a one to one correlation with the Standard International Trade Classification.

The various commercial houses, other organisations and managers are recognised for their cooperation in responding to requests for accurate data.
Users are reminded that the data contained in this report have been derived from customs for documents brought improvement of future reports will be appreciated.

SYSTEM OF TRADE CLASSIFICATlO;\/ The Standard International Trade Classification (S.I.T.C.)

Rev,3 issued by the United Nations Statistical Office, Statistical Papers Series M. No.
341Rev,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.34IRev.2 of 1974 was issued.

The main sections ofthe S.I.T.C.

(Rev.3) are:- Section o I Food and Live Animals chiefly for food Beverages and Tobacco Crude Materials, lnedible, except fuel Mineral Fuels, Lubricants and related materials Animal and Vegetable 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.I.T.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 separately.

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 country.
Except in the case 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 subject to verification by customs and statistics officials.

All values are shown in East Caribbean Currency Dollars.

Cost, insurance and freight (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) have been paid.

IV Free on board (F.

O.B.)

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

includes local customs charges and other taxes in the State.

This free On board (F.O.B.)


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 available and (ii) Value of allied commodities exported.

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

All quantities quoted in this report arc in tonnes.

DEFINITION OF COUNTRIES MD 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 final operation altered, to any appreciable extent, the character, composition and value of partly manufactured goods imported into the country.
Wnen 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 of final consumption.
The definition of countries and areas are given in a draft country list prepared by the United Nations Statistical Office (see special notes on geographical breakdown).

v 5.

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

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 United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) and similar organisations.

(f) Parcel Post items of imports less than $5.00 strongly assessed as gifts.

6.

PERIOD COVERED The data on imports and exports represent totals shown on all customs documents brought to account during the calendar year 1st January to 31st December, 2008.

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 of imports and exports and figures obtained from other sources, must for various reasons be maintained.
