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 above statistics are derived by re-grouping the merchandise export items under the external trade classification system according to the industries in which these items are normally produced. As from 1992, the Third Revision of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC R3) has been adopted in place of the Second Revision (SITC R2) for the classification of trade statistics. The above statistics may nol be strictly comparable with those published for earlier years due to the change in trade classification.
