UP-TO-DATE TRADE STATISTICS SERVICES TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS FROM AUSTRALIA’S PREMIER SOURCE

In so many industries, knowledge is the key to success. Moreover, it is the quality of that information that is paramount.

Now you can access Australian trade statistics gathered and held by Australia’s leading expert in the field, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Better still, this information can be customised and prepared to suit your specific needs.

The Statistics Section (STA) provides statistics used in research, including measures such as detailed classifications of exports and imports. STA’s data holdings include a substantial amount of economic and social information about Australia and the rest of the world.

Trade data is available in any of the following combinations:

Trade time series

DFAT has created a range of time series products to complement its statistical trade publications. These products include:

i) Trade statistical pivot tables:

• Australia's exports and imports by all countries, all State and Territories and selected country groups by the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) at the 3-digit level; and

• Australia's exports and imports by all countries, all State and Territories and selected country groups by DFAT's Trade Import and Export Classification (TRIEC) at the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-digit levels.

These two pivot tables are published on a calendar and financial year basis. ii) Australia’s direction of goods and services trade:

Time series spreadsheets covering Australia’s trade in goods and services (exports, imports & two-way trade). Data on goods, services and goods and services is published for 34 of Australia’s major trading partners, as well as data by broad geographic groups and selected country groups.

The spreadsheets are published on a calendar year basis (back to 1987) and a financial year basis (back to 1986-87).

iii) Historical trade and economic data:

As part of a forthcoming product, Australia’s Trade Through Time (ATTT), two spreadsheets are now available on the DFAT website. The first spreadsheet, Australia’s trade and economic indicators, contains time series data for a range of trade and economic indicators back to 1901 (and for total merchandise trade back to 1826). The second time series spreadsheet, Australia’s direction of trade, contains time series data for around 60 of Australia’s major merchandise trading partners back to 1901 (and in some cases to 1885).

CHANGES TO THE WAY THE ABS CONFIDENTIALISES MERCHANDISE STATISTICS AND ITS IMPACT ON STATE AND TERRITORY AGGREGATES

Since the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) has been required to apply State level restrictions to a number of commodities to maintain confidentiality within its monthly export and import data. This has resulted in some commodities being excluded from State/Territory totals. State/Territory totals will be under-reported in ABS monthly trade statistics (from June 2013 onwards for exports and September 2008 onwards for imports).

This change has an impact on the usability of ABS merchandise trade statistics from these periods onwards. It means that users cannot accurately determine the trend movements in exports and imports by State/Territory at the total level.

This change had a significant impact on the total merchandise imports to the Northern Territory from 2013-14. The ABS has applied State/Territory level restrictions to imports of Natural gas from December 2013 onwards. As a result, total merchandise imports to the Northern Territory fell dramatically, down from $5.1 billion in 2012-13 to $3.5 billion in 2013-14. The major reason for this fall would be the removal of imports of Natural gas.

Natural gas exports at a State/Territory level are now included in ‘confidential items of trade’ from July 2015 onwards.

These issues make it difficult to determine actual trends in Australia’s total exports and imports by State/Territory on an ongoing basis. DFAT is working with the ABS towards a solution that better meets the needs of trade users for accurate trade data on an annual basis while maintaining the confidentiality of businesses that report data to the ABS.

Because of this change, users are requested to use the merchandise statistics in this publication with caution.

More information on confidentiality in ABS merchandise trade data can be found in the publication International Merchandise Trade: Confidential Commodities List (ABS catalogue 5372.0.55.001). This publication is an essential reference guide for users of ABS merchandise trade statistics to ensure they are interpreting the trade statistics correctly.

Appendix G in DFAT’s Composition of Trade 2015-16 publication also provides additional information on this issue, including a full list of the commodity codes being excluded from State/Territory exports and import totals.

INTERPRETING TRADE STATISTICS BY STATE AND TERRITORY

Australian Trade by State and Territory 2015-16 presents international trade statistics for each state and territory of Australia as collected by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service and the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The publication is divided into nine sections—one overview section and a section for each of the six states and two territories. The first section provides an overview of Australia’s trade performance in 2015-16, along with summary comparison data by state and territory on a balance of payments basis. Each of the following eight sections provides detailed data on merchandise and services trade for each state and territory.

Caution needs to be exercised in interpreting these statistics, in particular when analysing state/territory trade flows or comparing differences between states/territories. Merchandise exports are based on State of origin and imports on State of final destination (in which goods are released from Customs’ control, but not necessarily where they are ultimately sold or consumed). Services exports are based on State of provision while services imports are based on State of consumption. Because of these differences, merchandise and services statistics, particularly for imports, in this publication are not always comparable.

For example, New South Wales and Victoria (accounting for around 60 per cent of Australian merchandise imports) dominate imports of merchandise goods. National distribution centres for many imported products are located in these states, so a proportion of these imports are sent on to neighbouring states or territories.

Export statistics for merchandise and services are more comparable than import statistics. However, merchandise export statistics may not always be accurately reported on a State of origin basis. For example, it would be possible for some goods originating from Tasmania and exported from the Victorian Port of Melbourne to be inadvertently recorded in Customs’ documentation as being exported from Victoria, rather than Tasmania.

The distribution of Australia’s population and exporting industries between states and territories can distort the net trade position (exports minus imports) for each state/territory. For example, the Northern Territory exports nearly three times the amount of goods and services compared to the amount it imports. The small population in the Northern Territory means lower consumption of imports, but exports (especially of agricultural and mining products) are high compared to the population.

To avoid divulging commercially-sensitive details of individual firms, the ABS restricts the release of certain Commodity, State/Territory and Country details in both merchandise and services statistics. As a result, certain export and import statistics by state/territory may be inconsistent. For example, natural gas exports are included in total exports by Western Australia, but are not included in Western Australia’s exports by country, as those data are deemed confidential.

For more information regarding the statistics in this publication, please refer to the Explanatory notes in the Technical Appendices.

Box 1: Australia’s trade overview in 2015-16

In 2015-16, the balance of trade recorded a deficit of $36.8 billion, a rise of $13.4 billion on the deficit of $23.4 billion recorded in 2014-15.

Australia’s goods and services exports decreased 1.9 per cent to $312.3 billion. Since 2010-11, export values have increased by an average of 1.0 per cent per annum. Export volumes grew 6.7 per cent in 2015-16 while export prices decreased 8.0 per cent.

In 2015-16, Australia’s goods and services imports rose 2.2 per cent to $349.1 billion (averaging a 3.8 per cent increase since 2010-11). Import volumes fell 0.3 per cent while import prices rose 2.5 per cent.

For more information on Australia’s overall trade performance in 2015-16, please refer to the DFAT publication Composition of Trade, Australia 2015-16.

Box 2: Australia’s trade by State and Territory current price and chain volume measures

Background

Tables 1 to 2 show exports and imports of goods and services for each State and Territory on a current price value basis and on a chain volume measure basis (which show movements in trade volumes). These data have been sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publication, Australian National Accounts State Accounts (catalogue 5220.0).

There are minor differences between the aggregate current price data in Tables 1 to 5 and in the rest of the publication. Tables 1 to 5 have been compiled on a balance of payments basis. The rest of the tables in this publication show merchandise trade on a recorded trade basis (see Explanatory notes). Furthermore, the current price data in Tables 1 to 5 have been compiled from an earlier edition of the ABS monthly international trade data, which results in minor differences in the remaining tables in this publication due to revisions.

There are also differences between the methods used to calculate total exports for each State and Territory in Tables 1 to 5 and in the remaining tables. In particular, total exports for each State and T erritory in Tables 1 to 5 include Australian produced goods and re-exports, which have been derived using pro-rata formulae (see Explanatory notes). Adjustments for low-value imports have been applied at the Australia level but have not been separately applied to individual States and Territories.

Overview of export volumes and price movements for 2015-16

In 2015-16, export volumes for Australia rose 6.7 per cent. Increases occurred in: Tasmania – up 20.2 per cent; Queensland – up 13.3 per cent; Australian Capital Territory – up 12.3 per cent; South Australia – up 11.3 per cent; Western Australia – up 5.9 per cent; New South Wales – up 5.7 per cent and Victoria – up 0.5 per cent. Export volumes for the Northern Territory were down 7.2 per cent.

Prices received for exports, as recorded by implicit price deflators (IPDs), increased for the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria, but fell in other States, with the largest fall occurring in Western Australia – down 14.2 per cent – reflecting the fall in commodity prices.

Box 3: Western Australia’s Alumina, Heavy mineral sands, Nickel and Gold exports

Alumina, Heavy mineral sands and Nickel

Information on Western Australian exports of Alumina, Heavy mineral sands and Nickel is included in the confidential trade item (SITC code 988) in Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) trade statistics.

While confidentiality provisions of Commonwealth legislation constrain the publication of some trade activity by the ABS, some additional information on WA’s Alumina, Heavy mineral sands and Nickel exports is published by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum (WA DMP).

WA DMP estimates Alumina exports to be worth $4.3 billion in 2015. The major export markets were China, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and South Africa.

Nickel exports


Gold export update

The Australia Bureau of Statistics (ABS) released Western Australian export trade data which shows exports of gold that are significantly higher than gold produced in this state. This apparent increase in gold exports from Western Australia is due to a restructuring of Australia’s gold refining industry in the late 1990s through to October 2002. Gold export data published by the ABS must therefore be interpreted with some caution.

Gold Corporation (or The Perth Mint) operates Australia’s only London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited gold refinery. It refines gold produced in other states and territories, gold from surrounding countries and also secondary gold, mainly from Asia, which is refined and exported from Western Australia.

This export figure for Western Australia is therefore larger than Western Australia’s own level of gold production

The ABS estimates that gold exports from Western Australia in 2015 amounted to approximately $13.8 billion. Approximately 70 per cent or $9.6 billion was gold produced in Western Australia. The remaining 30 per cent (approximately $4.2 billion) can be attributed to gold refined and exported from Western Australia but produced by mining operations in other states, territories and overseas.

Overseas imported gold also includes scrap which is refined in Western Australia and exported.

The major export markets were China, Singapore, India and Thailand.

Technical appendices

APPENDIX A – EXPLANATORY NOTES

Introduction Australia’s Trade by State and Territory provides data on merchandise and services trade with the world for each Australian State and Territory

This publication is divided into nine sections. The first section provides summary comparison trade data for exports and imports of goods and services on a balance of payments basis for each State and Territory. Data is presented on a financial year basis with five-year time series.

The remaining eight sections present trade data individually for each of the eight Australian States and Territories. For each State and Territory, trade data is presented by broad TRIEC classification (level of processing), major merchandise export and import commodities, major merchandise trading partners and regions and services trade by type of activity. Data is presented on a financial year basis with a three-year time series. For the ACT only, the detailed merchandise tables are presented in thousands of dollars, rather than millions.

Revisions to data The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), from information provided to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service by exporters and importers, derives the merchandise statistics used to compile this publication. ABS editing procedures frequently lead to revisions of previously published trade data and may occur for up to seven months after the reference period. For the 2015-16 reference year, merchandise trade data as at November 2016 has been used.

The balance of payments data is sourced from the ABS publication Australian National Accounts: State Accounts (catalogue 5220.0).

Services trade data is sourced from the ABS Survey of International Trade in Services. The services data in this publication are consistent with that published in the September quarter 2015 issue of the ABS publication, Balance of Payments and International Investment Position, Australia (catalogue 5302.0) and International Trade in Services by Country (catalogue 5368.0.55.003).

Confidential data in ABS trade statistics Merchandise trade

To avoid divulging commercially-sensitive details of individual firms, the ABS restricts release of statistics on certain commodities. In most cases, such details are aggregated into a ‘dump’ item (code 988) in tables. The restrictions applied to these items will also affect State data by country and region (for example, natural gas exports are not included in Western Australia’s exports to Japan).

It is worth noting that commodities are frequently added to the confidential list, e.g. Manganese ores & concentrates was added to the confidential list in October 2016. In such cases, the value shown for trade in aggregates containing these items will show a decrease.

http://search.abs.gov.au/s/search.html?query=5220.0&collection=abs&form=simple&profile=_default_preview

http://search.abs.gov.au/s/search.html?collection=abs&form=simple&profile=_default_preview&query=5302.0

http://search.abs.gov.au/s/search.html?collection=abs&form=simple&profile=_default_preview&query=5368.0.55.003

The ABS has coded certain commodities as ‘No State details’. Some examples of commodities that have had State detail suppressed include Barley, Beer made from malt and Uranium ores. Exports June 2013 to present

The ABS announced that it had changed the method used in confidentialising data for merchandise exports from the month of June 2013 onwards. Export data commodities that have the confidentiality restrictions of "No commodity details" or "No value details" are not allocated to State/Territory.

For export data prior to June 2013, these data are added back into the appropriate State/Territory totals (i.e. these totals show the correct level of trade). From June 2013, the confidential data are not being added back into the appropriate State/Territory totals. Instead, they are published as "Unallocated" in total Australian export data.

As a result, the values of exports by State/Territory are understated in aggregate by the following amounts: $596 million in 2012-13, $5.7 billion in 2013-14; $6.2 billion in 2014-15 and $5.8 billion in 2015-16.

Given the importance of accurate trade data, DFAT has been working with the ABS to find a solution that will allow accurate State/Territory export/import totals on a financial, and calendar year basis to be published while maintaining business confidentiality. Imports September 2008 to present

The ABS announced that it had changed the method used in confidentialising data for merchandise imports from the month of September 2008 onwards. Import data commodities that have the confidentiality restrictions of "No commodity details" or "No value details" are not allocated to State/Territory.

For import data prior to September 2008, these data are added back into the appropriate State/Territory totals (i.e. these totals show the correct level of trade). From September 2008, the confidential data are not being added back into the appropriate State/Territory totals. Instead, they are published as "Unallocated" in total Australian import data. Of the commodity codes affected by this change, Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts and Natural gas would make up the most significant component.

As a result, the values of imports by State/Territory are understated in aggregate by the following amounts: $5.9 billion in 2010-11; $6.7 billion in 2011-12 and $4.3 billion in 2012-13, $5.8 billion in 2013-14 and $6.9 billion in 2014-15 and $4.7 billion in 2015-16.

A full list of the commodity codes being excluded from State/Territory exports and import totals are available in Appendix G in DFAT’s Composition of Trade 2015-16 publication.

Services trade

The ABS uses perturbation to confidentialise trade in services statistics. Using the perturbation methodology, the data will be perturbed, that is, have noise added to protect the confidential cells. For example, if a cell was deemed to be confidential the ABS would subtract a small amount from another cell or cells, to add to the confidential cell, to ensure that confidentiality was not breached. In most cases, the level of perturbation is not significant and should have minimal impact on the analysis of trade in services data.

However, for Transport services the perturbation methodology could not be applied due to the small number of businesses in this sector. As a result only a limited number of series could be published.

Exports are allocated to State/Territory based on the State of origin (i.e. the Australian State/Territory in which the final stage of production or manufacture occurs). Imports are allocated to State/Territory based


on the State of final destination (i.e. the Australian State/Territory in which goods are released from Customs controls).

Services trade

Services exports are classified by the State/Territory of provision, while services imports are classified by the State/Territory of consumption.

Transport services are allocated by State/Territory using a combination of indicators including merchandise trade statistics by State/Territory and short-term overseas passenger arrivals and departures by State/Territory of clearance.

Overseas passenger departures data by the State/Territory where most time was spent are used to allocate the Business and Other personal travel components of travel credits. Education-related travel exports are split using State/Territory data provided by the Department of Education & Training. Travel imports are split using overseas departures data for resident departures by State/Territory of residency.

For Telecommunication services, an indicator for allocating consumption by State/Territory in the national accounts is used to approximate the State/Territory allocation for the international trade in these services. It is assumed that each State/Territory's share of outgoing international calls and terminating connections for incoming international calls will be reasonably well aligned with total service consumption by State or Territory.

Other services are primarily based on the location of the business reporting the information, which serves as a proxy for the State/Territory of provision/consumption of that service.

One exception is the series Manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others. This series is not allocated by State and is instead attributed only at the total Australia level.

The ABS does not compile State and Territory services data by partner country.

Commodity classification Merchandise trade

The data on merchandise trade in this publication are measured on a recorded trade basis, based upon quantities and values of goods measured as they cross the Australian customs frontier. They can differ from data presented under the balance of payments (BOP) basis in terms of coverage, valuation and timing.

In this publication, trade is disaggregated by two classifications: the merchandise Trade Import and Export Classification (TRIEC); and the Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 4 (SITCr4).

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade developed TRIEC to group exports and imports according to their level of processing. The broad levels of the TRIEC are: • Primary products; • Manufactures, divided into Simply transformed and Elaborately transformed; and • Other goods (mainly gold and confidential items).

Data in this publication that have been classified according to SITCr4 are shown at the Group (3-digit) level. There are 264 categories at this level.

Services trade

Australia's BOP defines services as comprising services provided between Australian residents and non-residents, together with some transactions in goods where, by international agreement, it is not practical to separate the goods and services components (e.g. goods purchased by travellers are classified to services).

Services delivered to non-residents through a foreign branch or subsidiary—for example, services rendered to an Asian company by a branch office of an Australian legal firm in Bangkok—are not included. Any profits or dividends remitted between an enterprise in Australia and a related enterprise abroad are regarded as an income transaction, not as a service in Australia’s BOP.

Australia’s BOP statistics are compiled in accordance with the latest international standards determined by the International Monetary Fund, and published in the Balance of Payments Manual, sixth edition, 2008 (BPM6). The ABS EBOP services classification is based on the UN publication Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, 2010. This is an extended services classification that is fully compatible with the BPM6. Services commodities are broken down into 12 major groups and around 90 detailed services commodities.

Valuation Merchandise trade

Exports: Valued at the free-on-board (f.o.b.) basis at the Australian port-of-shipment. Charges for distributive services provided beyond the customs frontier are not included (e.g. international freight and insurance charges).

Imports: Valued at the Australian Customs Value. This is based on the price actually paid, provided the buyer and seller are independent, on a f.o.b. basis, i.e. charges and expenses involved in delivering the goods from the place of exportation to Australia are excluded.

Services trade

Services statistics are based on market price for both credit (export) and debit (import) entries. This is in accordance with the latest international standards determined by the International Monetary Fund and published in BPM6.

Volumes and prices In Section 1, Tables 1 and 2 show exports and imports of goods and services for each State and Territory on a current price value basis, a chain volume measure basis (which shows movements in trade volumes) and related Implicit Price Deflators (IPDs). This data has been sourced from the ABS publication, Australian National Accounts State Accounts (catalogue 5220.0).

The export and import data for each State and Territory are on a BOP basis and therefore are on a different basis from the Recorded trade basis used for merchandise trade in the rest of the publication. Data presented under the BOP basis can differ in terms of coverage, valuation and timing.

To calculate gross State product in the State Accounts, it is necessary to allocate re-exports of goods and State/Territory confidential items back to individual States and Territories. Re-exports are pro-rated back to each State and Territory at the commodity level for each re-exported item, while State/Territory confidential items are pro-rated back to each State and Territory in proportion to their total exports.

ABS chain volume measures To enable analysis of the movements of goods and services in ‘real’ terms, estimates of chain volume measures are presented for selected series in Tables 1 and 2 in this publication.

Estimates of ‘real’ growth are compiled by the ABS, using chain volume measures. Chain volume measures are derived by deflating the original current price series by specifically compiled measures of price change.

http://search.abs.gov.au/s/search.html?query=5220.0&collection=abs&form=simple&profile=_default_preview

The reference year for chain volume measures is the year prior to the latest complete financial year incorporated into the publication. The reference year is updated with the completion of estimates for each financial year.

Prior to the reference year, chain volume measures are not additive, in that the component chain volume measures of an aggregate will not add through to the chain volume measure of the total aggregate. For further information on chain volume measures refer to the ABS publication: Information paper, Australian National Accounts, Introduction of Chain Volume and Price Indexes (catalogue 5248.0).

Implicit price deflator (IPD) The annual IPDs in Tables 1 and 2 of this publication are derived by dividing current price series by the corresponding chain volume measure.

For more information on National Accounts, concepts sources and methods used to compile Tables 1 and 2, please refer to the ABS publication, Australian National Accounts, Concepts, Sources and Methods, 2000 (catalogue 5216.0).

Country For exports, ‘country’ refers to the final destination as reported by exporters. It is known, however, that exporters may not know the country of final destination of their goods at the time they are shipped. This applies particularly to goods directed through entrepôts such as Singapore, Hong Kong, and major European ports, with a consequent overstating of Australia's exports to these countries and corresponding understatement of exports to countries ‘downstream’ from them.

For imports, ‘country’ refers to the country of origin of the goods, which is defined as the country of production for customs purposes.

Although not members of APEC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands have also been included in the United States as they are regarded by the United States as part of its customs zone. When the United States reports its total exports, it includes exports from these two self-governing territories. This change was made to make Australian and US data more consistent.

Data quality issues Merchandise trade

The accuracy in reporting the actual State of origin and State of final destination on customs documentation affects the quality of ABS State and Territory merchandise trade statistics. This is a particular issue for smaller States and Territories, such as the ACT. State of loading/discharge may be used as a proxy for actual State of origin/final destination.

This will directly affect the quality of trade data for States where the port of loading is located in a neighbouring State (for example some goods originating from Tasmania are exported from the Victorian Port of Melbourne). In the ACT case this means that some ACT trade is inadvertently recorded in customs documentation as being trade with NSW rather than the ACT. This needs to be taken into account when interpreting trade flows for the ACT.

Therefore, some States’ exports/imports will be understated while other States’ exports/imports are overstated. Please refer to the note on Interpreting trade statistics by State and Territory (page 5) for further information.



Services trade

While the State/Territory allocation methods for Transport, Travel and Telecommunication services are considered reasonable – especially for the analysis of movements in the services – the allocation for other services (about 25 per cent of all trade in services) is primarily based on the location of the business reporting the information, which serves as a proxy for the State/Territory of provision/consumption of that service.

Trend growth rates Trend growth is derived by log-linear regression using the ‘least squares’ method. It is a more robust measure than the ‘average’ annual growth as it takes account of all observations and so is less likely to be affected by the end points of a given period.
