Notes: 1. Individual entries of a column may not add up exactly to the corresponding total due to rounding.
All percentage changes are calculated from unrounded figures.
2. The statistics presented in the above table are derived by re-grouping the merchandise export items
(except gold and specie) under the external trade classification system according to the industries in which these items are normally produced. As from 1992, the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 3 (SITC R3) has been adopted in place of the Revision 2 (SITC R2) for the classification of trade statistics. The above statistics may not be strictly comparable with those published for earlier years due to the change in trade classification,
