SYSTEM OF TRADE The uSPEClAL TRADE" system has b~en used In the tabulations.

That is, imports figures Include all goods cleared ex-warehouses for domestic consumptIon and they exclude all goods which remain in the custody of Cus~oms In bonded warehouses.

Goods tleared ex-warehouses for expolt$ 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 lntranslt through the State are not Included in the trade figures.

3.
3.

QUN'fTlTlES AND VAWES 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 Currency Dollars.

CI.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.

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 air freight, and marine and air insurance are not It includes 10cBI Customs charges Included and cash and trade discounts to the purchaser abroad are deducted.

and other taxes In the State.

This F.G.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, Reasonable estimates therefore, have had to be made until more reliable figures could be used.
(b) 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 of repairs (plus any other appropriate charges) are shown on re-importation.
All quantities quoted in this report are in tonnes.

4.

DEFlNmoN OF COUNTRIES AND AREAS The Statistics reported refer to the sovereign democratic republic of the Commonwealth ofpominica.

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 vah,le of partly manufactured goods imported into the country.

When the country of origin cannot be ascertained, the "country of r:onsignment" is used, that is, the country from which the goods were despatched.

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 as given in a draft countries list prepared by the United Nations Statistical Office (but see also special notes on geographical breakdown).

ExCWSIONS The following Items have been excluded from the Trade Statistics:- (a) Ship's stores anc;l bunkers supplied to locally registered craft; (b) Gold coin and bullion, Issued coinage and issued bank notes; (c) GQods on lease such as cinematographic films; (d) Goods on loan such as samples for exhibition or study; (e) Gifts from UNICEF and similar organizations; and (j) Parcel Post items of imports or less than $5.00 strongly suspected as gifts.

6.
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 31 st December, 1996.

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.
