Notes: (1) For a breakdown of Hong Kong's external trade by the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 3, readers should refer to Appendix 18. The statistics there are presented according to the classification of commodities by SITC Section, and within each Section, by major SITC Division. The table presented here is based on the Harmonized System and compiled for the convenience of those readers who may be more interested in domestic exports of certain commodity groups which are commonly referred to but which may not be readily derived from Appendix 18.

(2) There is some overlapping in the commodity coverage of ‘electronic products' and 'watches and clocks' Some commodity items, such as digital electronic watches, are included in both groups. There is also overlapping between 'electronic products' and 'toys and dolls' (items such as radio controlled toys, T.V. games and electronic games), and between 'plastic products' and 'toys and dolls' (item such as plastic toys). However, the values of these items are counted only once in the value of "Total domestic exports of the above 9 groups'. % change less than 0.5%.
