TECHNICAL NOTES

Imports: Imports are goods or services that were produced abroad or Products of foreign origin brought into

the country.

Exports: Goods and services produced in one country and sent to another country to be sold.

Reexports: The export without further processing or transformation of a good that has been recorded as

imports.

Re-imports: imports of domestic goods which were previously recorded as exports.

The following are the definitions of General trade system and the Special trade system.

Special Trade System:

The special trade system is in use when the statistical territory comprises only the free circulation area, that is,

the part within which goods "may be disposed of without customs restriction. Consequ ently, in such a case,

imports include only goods entering the free circulation area of a compiling country and exports include only

goods leaving the free circulation area of a compiling country. Under the strict definition, goods imported for

inward processing and goods which enter or leave an industrial or commercial free zone or customs

warehouses would not be recorded since they would not have been cleared through customs for home use.

The compensating products after inward processing also would not be included in exports. It has to be used as

a basis for producing trade balance and foreign trade statistics as a whole. The special trade system covers the

following procedures:

(a) On importation, goods which on direct importation into the statistical territory, upon leaving a

depot, transit area or after transshipment, and goods which upon leaving a warehouse of free

zone, are:

- declared for home use (including drawback system and goods that were accepted on

temporary admission);

- accepted on temporary importation for inward processing;

- placed in industrial warehouse or industrial free zones;

- placed in customs bonded manufacturing plants or export processing zones;

- imported after temporary exportation for outward processing.

Goods put into circulation for home use after temporary importation, on leaving industrial warehouses, free

zones and customs bonded manufacturing plants and export processing zones no longer fall within the special

trade regime.

(b) On exportation, goods which are:

- of national origin and declared for single exit;

- exported after temporary importation for inward processing;

- exported after release from industrial warehouses or industrial free zones;

- exported after release from customs bonded manufacturing plants or export processing

zones;

- on temporary exportation for outward processing.

General Trade System:

The general imports provide the most comprehensive record of the goods entering the economic territory of a

compiling country and increasing the stock of its material resources while general exports provide the most

comprehensive record of the goods leaving its territory and thus decreasing that stock. It is recommended,

therefore, that countries use the general trade system for compilation of both their import and export

statistics. It covers the following goods:

(a) On importation, goods which on direct importation into the statistical territory, upon leaving a

depot, transit area or after transshipment are:

- declared for home use;

- accepted on temporary admission;

- accepted on temporary importation for inward processing;

- placed in industrial warehouse or industrial free zones;

- placed in customs bonded manufacturing plants or export processing zones;

- imported after temporary exportation for outward processing;

- imported after temporary exportation for return in unaltered state;

- placed in customs bonded warehouses or commercial free zones.

(b) On exportation, goods which are:

- of national origin and declared for single exit;

- exported after temporary admission;

- exported after temporary importation for inward processing;

- exported after release from industrial warehouses or industrial free zones;

- exported after release from customs bonded manufacturing plants or export processing

zones;

- on temporary exportation for outward processing;

- on temporary exportation for return in an unaltered state;

- released from customs warehouse or commercial free zones.
