Motive
In the Netherlands the international trade is complex due to:
- Different definitions of between Eurostat and National Accounts
- Rotterdam Harbor and Schiphol Airport- The number of distribution centres- Globalisation
Effect: A lot of confusion
But: not only in the Netherlands

The cross-border good flows
Good flow:
–Import and export– Exports from domestic production– Re-exports
–Quasi-transit (“Rotterdam effect”)
–Transit via customs warehouse–‘Real’ transit

– Exports from domestic production– Re-exports
–Quasi-transit (“Rotterdam effect”) Only community
concept–Transit via customs warehouse No–‘Real’ transit No

Difference re-exports and quasi-transit
Ownership:
Re-exports – A resident is owner of the goods
Quasi-transit – Owner is always a non-resident
Effect: Trade margin does not apply to reporting country any longer (in theory)

Difference re-exports / quasi-transit and transit through customs warehouse
Customs Status:
Re-exports / - Goods in free circulation of
Quasi-transit European Union
Transit through - Not yet cleared goods
customs warehouse
Effect: By definition transit through customs warehouse not in the concept of international trade in goods

Difference re-exports / quasi-transit and ‘real’ transit
Classified as re-exports or quasi-transit if:– Either: Clearing– Or: Storing (in case of goods in free
circulation of European Union)– Or: Trading (in case of goods in free
circulation of European Union)
Otherwise: Transit
Effect: Transit does not belong to the concept of the international trade in goods

Difference theory and practice
International trade in goods statistics should monitor all relevant cross-border good flows, but:
– Choice between clearing or not clearing → Included or excluded from international trade
in goods statistics– Ownership by a foreign resident (quasi-transit) →
Excluded from national concept
Do our definitions still reflect the real world ???
