CHANGES IN THIS AND FORTHCOMING ISSUES


CHANGES IN THIS ISSUE

Amendment to time series spreadsheet table 3

From this issue the component 'Commodities and transactions not included in Merchandise Trade' (SITC 999) has been removed from time series spreadsheet table 3. This change has been made to minimise the potential for confusion with nil merchandise trade for this component for all time periods.

Proposed changes to Customs Tariff import classification

The ABS is undertaking an import classification feasibility study into the creation of specific new Combined Australian Customs Tariff Nomenclature and Statistical Classification (Customs Tariff) statistical codes under subheadings 7227.90.90, 7228.70.00, 7308.90.00, 7312.10.00 and 7312.90.00. The outcomes of the feasibility study will be implemented on 1 January 2015. The initial proposed changes are shown in the tables below:
