NEWS RELEASE EXTERNAL TRADE 14 JUNE 2017

The final data for the year 2016 will be published tomorrow, 15 June. At the same time the tables of trade in goods on the web site will be changed, except the tables of trade by Customs tariff numbers (HS), which for now will have the same structure as before. Instead of 38 tables before, 17 tables will be published now. Thereof 10 tables will be updated in the monthly publication and 7 updated yearly, when the final data for last year is published.

All the 10 tables will both include yearly data and monthly data, which can be selected. Also in general, each table includes more variables to choose from. As an example is the table of exports and imports by broad economic categories (BEC), countries and market areas. There the user can make a selection of imports and/or exports, classification and/or by countries. It will therefore be easier to find data for individual countries for certain classifications. Please note that for variable marked *, at least one value needs to be selected, however if a variable has no *, it is not necessary to select that variable.

SITC classification has separate tables for exports and imports and as in the past, the Icelandic classifications SI classification by commodities and classification by brances of processing are only available for exports.

The market areas has been changed from the European economic area (EEA) to European Union (EU). This change is according to users requests.

Monthly table for preliminary data for each month has not changed.

A correlation table listing the changes follows this press release.
