Explanatory Notes 25


Introduction

This report presents statistics of the value of non-oil merchandise trade which entered or exited the territory of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through the ports of Abu Dhabi (comprising air, sea and road ports) in the fourth quarter 2013. It should be noted that foreign trade data presented in this report do not cover non-oil exports and imports through ports of the other Emirates in the UAE.

These data have been sourced for the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance – Customs Administration, and the scope of these statistics therefore is restricted to the trade flows recorded at ports under the jurisdiction of the Customs Administration. The report highlights the relative importance of each individual component of these flows of non-oil exports, imports and re-exports.

These data are presented according to the international standards for the dissemination of merchandise trade statistics. Non-oil exports, imports and re-exports are shown by the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), Revision 4, and the Broad Economic Category (BEC). In addition, the statistics are presented by continents and countries. Statistics presented on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) are available from SCAD on request.

The explanatory notes section at the end of this report defines the key terms and technical concepts used in the compilation of non-oil merchandise trade statistics. Readers are encouraged to refer to that section while reading the statistics and information outlined in the report.

Imports by Standard International Trade Classification (SITC)

“Machinery and transport equipment” was the largest contributor to imports by SITC in Q4 2013, representing 48.5 % of the total. However, its value decreased by AED 3,125 million (-20.1%) in Q4 2013 compared with Q4 2012. The main contributors to this decrease were the sub-sections “general industrial machinery, equipment and parts, nes” (down AED 2,363 million), “power generating machinery and equipment” (down AED 603 million) and “electrical machinery, apparatus and appliances, nes and parts” (down AED 539 million). The second largest SITC section in Q4 2013 was “manufactured goods classified by material” at AED 5,578 million, a slight increase from AED 5,574 million in Q4 2012. The largest sub-sections in Q4 2013 were “iron and steel” (AED 1,884 million) and “non-ferrous metals” (AED1,615 million).

The third largest SITC section was “chemicals and related products” at AED 2,528 million, which increased by AED 382 million (17.8%) over the period, mainly due to increases in “plastics in primary forms” (up AED 190 million) and “inorganic chemicals” (up AED 107 million).

These top three sections contributed 80.0% of the total value of imports in Q4 2013, compared with 81.9% in Q4 2012.

Explanatory Notes

Glossary This report contains certain terms specific to merchandise trade and necessary when analyzing the trade statistics of Abu Dhabi Emirate. They include the following terms:

Merchandise Trade Merchandise Trade statistics record goods which add to or subtract from the stock of material resources of Abu Dhabi by entering or leaving its territory. Throughout this report, the term merchandise trade statistics refers to trade which moves through the ports of Abu Dhabi only, and do not capture inter-emirate trade activity.

Imports Imports are goods that enter Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic district from various parts of the world, excluding other emirates in the United Arab Emirates, and receive customs clearance. Goods are considered imports regardless of whether they enter the Emirate directly or are retrieved from customs warehouses, temporary entry areas or free zones inside the country. These goods receive customs clearance in order to become part of Abu Dhabi’s merchandise balance.

Re-exports Re-exports represent goods that are imported from abroad, enter Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic district and become part of the Emirate’s merchandise balance. These goods are then re-exported as they are, without any modification, outside the country.

Non-oil Exports Non-oil exports include goods that are entirely produced locally or in whose production process local resources are used. Non-oil exports through the ports of Abu Dhabi may include goods that were produced in other Emirates in the United Arab Emirates. Oil is excluded from these goods. These goods leave Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic district to the outside world, reducing the Emirate’s non-oil merchandise trade deficit.

Classifications The non-oil merchandise trade statistics are presented in accordance with the two main internationally recommended output classifications: Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 4 (SITC) and Broad Economic Categories (BEC).

SITC groups goods according to their level of manufacturing or processing

BEC groups goods according to their main end use, namely capital, intermediate consumption and consumption goods

If users require statistics by the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS), these are available from SCAD on request. The HS is primarily an input classification, and is the basis on which goods are recorded with Customs by traders.


Data source

Data are obtained from Department of Finance – Customs Administration. The data are processed and passed to Statistic Centre – Abu Dhabi for further editing, compilation and reclassified according to statistical classification for foreign trade.

Valuation In line with the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreement on valuation:

Exports (including re-exports) are valued free on board (fob), which represents the value at the export border, and includes inland freight costs and packaging

Imports are valued on the cost insurance and freight (cif) basis, which represents the value at the import border, and includes the additional cost of freight and insurance in transporting the goods internationally

Notes on Tables

Changes (levels and %) in all tables are based on unrounded numbers.

Relative importance is calculated as the ratio between the value of the sub-group and the total value for all groups, expressed as a percentage.

Totals in some tables may not add up due to rounding.

The data for 2013 are preliminary data, and may be revised.

Symbols Used

‘-‘ nil or rounded to zero

‘..’ not applicable
