(*) The coverage of this component is slighly different from that of "industrial machinery for use in the manufacturing sector" in Table 2, due to the fact that some items of industrial machinery are used outside the manufacturing sector.

For analytical purposes, a re-export margin of 15% has been assumed in deriving the retained imports figures in this table.
