Note: (1) Retained imports refer to those imported goods which are retained for use in Hong Kong rather than
being re-exported to other places. The value of retained imports is derived by subtracting the estimated import value of re-exports from the value of imports. The former is obtained by removing an estimated re-export margin from the value of re-exports.
