On a recorded trade basis, between March and April 2011, large value movements were recorded for the following selected commodities:
COUNTRY BREAKDOWN The following charts show Australia's major trading partners for the calendar year 2010. The charts include both trade in goods (on a recorded 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 separately total exports and total imports of goods and services, for the ten countries in the first chart. Combining trade in goods (on a recorded 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 the broad analysis. 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 table 14 of this publication, the 'no country details' data are included in 'other countries'. In 2010, these restrictions represented 3% of the total imports value but the impact on specific countries may be larger. Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
