COUNTRY BREAKDOWN The following charts show Australia's major trading partners for the financial year 2013-14. The charts include both trade in goods (on an international merchandise trade basis) and trade in services (on a balance of payments basis). The first chart shows the countries with the largest two-way trade, i.e., combined trade in both exports and imports of goods and services. The second chart shows total exports and total imports for each of these countries. Combining trade in goods (on an international merchandise trade basis) and trade in services (on a balance of payments basis) provides a good approximation of total trade. Some components will be excluded (e.g. merchanting credits and goods procured in ports by carriers debits) while the manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others component, will be double counted. These components are unlikely to impact on the broader analysis. Exports data with the confidentiality restrictions 'no commodity details' or 'no value details' are now being excluded from the individual country and included in 'no country details' in the detailed breakdown in the time series spreadsheet table 14a. In 2013-14, these restrictions represented 2.08% of the total exports value. However, this figure does vary across individual countries. In table 14 of this publication, the 'no country details' data is included in 'other countries'. Imports data with the confidentiality restrictions 'no commodity details' or 'no value details' are excluded from the individual country and included in 'no country details' in the detailed breakdown presented in the time series spreadsheet table 14b. In 2013-14, these restrictions represented 2.30% of the total imports value. However, this figure does vary across individual countries. In table 14 of this publication, the 'no country details' data is included in 'other countries'. For further details about these restrictions see paragraphs 26 to 28 of the Explanatory Notes.
