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. And it’s the quality of that information that’s 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).

ECONOMIC ACTIVITY OF AUSTRALIAN MAJORITY OWNED BUSINESS LOCATED IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, NEW ZEALAND AND THE UNITED STATES

Australian majority owned businesses in the EU, New Zealand and the United States are an important vehicle for Australian companies to provide goods and services to the world, with sales valued at around $127 billion in aggregate, more than double the value of direct exports from Australia to these economies.

The growth in the provision of goods and services to the EU and the United States economies between 2002-03 and 2013 has been almost entirely due to the growth in sales by these Australian foreign affiliates rather than growth in exports. While sales by Australian foreign affiliates to New Zealand declined over the period they still accounted for around two-thirds of the total provision of Australian goods and services to New Zealand.

Introduction Australia’s has a significant direct investment presence abroad, with the stock of investment valued at $542.6 billion at the end of 2015. However, there are no current Australian statistics on the characteristics of these businesses. A previous study by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for 2002-03 found that 641 Australian enterprises had 4,012 foreign businesses located overseas (with greater than 50 per cent Australian ownership). These businesses had sales of goods and services valued at $142.3 billion and employed 321,924 persons2. The report also showed that almost half (48 per cent) of Australia’s goods and services provided to the world were supplied via their affiliates abroad.

Austrade has recently published a paper on Overseas investment of Australian companies using the IBIS World Top 2000 Company database3. This analysis found that one third (653 Australian companies) of Australia’s top 2000 companies held direct investment abroad (with at least 10 per cent or more ownership) in a total of 7,632 foreign companies in 2015. The top 5 locations of foreign affiliates of Australian companies, in terms of numbers of affiliates were New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Hong Kong (SAR of China).

However, the IBIS World database does not contain information on the economic performance of these affiliates abroad such as sales, assets, industry value added and employment. Partner country data (or mirror statistics) can be used to compile some more up to date economic indicators on Australian owned businesses abroad. This information is collected through Foreign Affiliates Trade Statistics (FATS). FATS cover’s both foreign owned business in the host economy (or inwards FATS) and the host countries business located abroad (or outwards FATS). However, coverage is an issue with only a small number of countries collecting comprehensive FATS. In addition, the data tends to be a few years old as it takes time to collect and compile the data.

2 ABS catalogue number 5495.0 – Australian Outward Foreign affiliates trade, 2002-03. A more recent study for the financial & insurance services sector only was funded by DFAT for 2009-10 (Australian outward finance and insurance foreign affiliate trade 2009-10 (ABS catalogue no. 5485.0). 3 Austrade Overseas investment of Australian companies, Trade and investment note, April 2015.

Inwards FATS complied by the European Union and the United States for 2013 and New Zealand for 2012 does have information on Australian majority owned companies4. Together these countries accounted for over half (51.2 per cent) of the stock of Australian direct investment abroad in Australia in 2015, valued at $277.6 billion5.

Australian majority owned businesses in the European Union The stock of Australian direct investment in the European Union 28 (EU) was valued at $111.8 billion in 2015 (20.6 per cent share of Australian direct investment abroad).

Australia had 1,138 majority owned enterprises in the EU in 2013 – refer to Table 1. The industry value added by these Australian affiliates contributed $12.3 billion to the EU economy in 2013. These affiliates had sales of goods and services valued at $40.2 billion in 2013, compared to Australian exports to the EU valued at $22.5 billion. Australian majority owned business in the EU employed 79,800 persons in 2013.

In addition, the combined growth in Australia’s provision of goods and services to the EU, New Zealand and the United States between 2002-03 and 2013 has been almost entirely due to the growth in the sales of goods and services from Australia’s foreign affiliates, while growth in exports to these economies has been virtually flat – refer to Table 8. The growth in sales from the affiliates compared to exports is stronger for the EU and the United States, however for New Zealand sales from affiliates declined over the period – refer to Chart 2.

LOW VALUE THRESHOLD GOODS

Introduction In August 2013 the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) commenced including estimates for the value of ‘low value threshold’ (LVT) goods imports into Australia’s official balance of payments statistics, with revisions back to September quarter 1998. In August 2014 methodological changes were announced, arising from three additional data sources, resulting in further revisions to the series.

What are LVT goods? Broadly, goods imported to Australia with a value below $1,000 (the LVT) do not require full import declaration (FID) to the Department of Immigration & Border Protection (DIBP). As such these imports are excluded from Australia’s merchandise trade statistics, and before August 2013, were also excluded from Australia’s Balance of Payments statistics9. LVT goods can be characterised in particular by the large range of ‘small’ purchases made via on-line retail.

Estimating LVT goods imports Investigations undertaken by the ABS together with DIBP revealed there had been a significant increase in the number of parcels being imported under the LVT – driven by the growth in on-line trade. A decision was taken to include estimates for these goods in Australia’s macroeconomic statistics. The estimates commenced with the August 2013 edition of International Trade in Goods in Services (ABS catalogue 5368.0) with revisions back to September 1998. The estimates have also been included in the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (ABS catalogue 5302.0) from September 2013 release (including revisions) as well as other ABS outputs that include an international trade dimension.

Updates to LVT adjustments for official goods debits estimates LVT adjustments are applied only to balance of payments goods debits estimates, hence pushing the balance of payments debits series higher by the value of the LVT estimate relative to the corresponding merchandise imports series10. They were well below $1 billion in 1998-99 and around $6.7 billion in 2014-15, which represents 2.5 per cent of the ‘goods debits’ series in that year.

Impact on macroeconomic aggregates By default, the balance (on goods and services) is also affected. And because the balance is a ‘net’ series the differences between balance of payments and merchandise trade estimates will vary more widely and, at times, will be at odds as to whether Australia’s trade is in surplus or deficit. The table below displays

9 To date exports have been excluded from the process, even though conceptually they are in scope. When the ABS identifies reliable data sources,

they will be considered for inclusion. 10 Note there are other adjustments applied to the balance of payments goods debits series which cause it to differ from merchandise imports.

Australia’s goods trade balances for 1998-99 (when the LVT adjustment commences) as well as the period 2010-11 to 2015-16.

Goods Trade Balances Balance of payments versus Merchandise trade (A$ million)

1998-99 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 2015-16 Balance of payments -12.5 22.0 9.1 -2.4 10.1 -13.1 -27.4 Merchandise trade -11.6 31.9 24.3 10.5 20.6 -2.4 -20.0 Difference -0.9 -9.9 -15.2 -12.9 -10.5 -10.7 -7.4 Source: ABS catalogues 5302.0 and 5368.0.

In 1998-99 the difference between the goods trade balance was just $0.9 billion however over time, helped by the inclusion of LVT11 goods imports, the difference lifted to $15.2 billion by 2011-12. In 2015-16, the difference had eased to $7.4 billion.

From the user perspective balance of payments is the preferred series as the adjustments incorporated by the ABS fill in gaps that exist in the merchandise trade statistics as well as providing a more realistic account of change of ownership. However, balance of payments data is only available for broad aggregates, so users must still use the merchandise trade series where finer levels of detail are required.

More information For a more detailed description of inclusion of LVT estimates into Australia’s macroeconomic estimates see the explanatory notes of International Trade in Goods and Services, August 2013 (ABS catalogue 5368.0) as well as the information paper: Measurement of online Retail Trade in Macroeconomic Statistics, 2013 (ABS catalogue 8501.0.5.007). The August 2014 edition of International Trade in Goods and Services, (ABS catalogue 5368.0) provides details of the refinements in the technical note starting on page 45.

TABLE 69: AUSTRALIA'S MERCHANDISE TRADE WITH ALL COUNTRIES (a)(b)(A$'000)


Technical appendices

APPENDIX A – EXPLANATORY NOTES

Introduction Composition of Trade 2015-16 provides details of Australia's goods and services trade, export markets, and sources of imports for the years 2013-14 to 2015-16 and in selected tables from 2010-11.

This publication is divided into two major segments. The first part examines Australia’s trade in goods and services on a balance of payments basis. It consists of three sections – Section 1 provides summary data on Australia's trade in goods and services showing current price values, chain volume measures, movements in export and import prices and the terms of trade. Also included is a commodity ranking for goods and services. Section 2 shows Australia's direction of goods and services trade, including ranking tables. Section 3 provides Australia’s composition of services trade by type of activity and direction of services trade.

Part two examines Australia’s merchandise trade on a recorded trade basis. It consists of four sections – Section 4 shows Australia’s merchandise trade by level of processing, including data on Australian produced exports. Section 5 provides commodity rankings for Australia's merchandise trade, exports and imports. Section 6 provides a ranking of Australia's merchandise trade by country and data on selected country groups. Section 7 gives the top 20 commodity exports and imports details for Australia’s top 25 merchandise trading partners, regions and selected economic groups.

This publication should be used in conjunction with DFAT’S time series trade data products available on the DFAT website in Microsoft Excel format. The website contains the following products. i) Three MS Excel time series spreadsheets covering:

a. Australia’s trade in goods and services with all countries and country groups

b. Australia’s trade and economic indicators – historical data

c. Australia’s direction of merchandise trade – historical data

ii) Two MS Excel Pivot tables:

• Australia's merchandise exports and imports by all countries, all State and Territories andselected country groups by SITC at the 3-digit level and;

• Australia's merchandise exports and imports by all countries, all State and Territories andselected country groups by DFAT's TRIEC at the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-digit levels.

Data sources The trade data on a balance of payments basis in Sections 1, 2, and 3 and the chain volume and price index data has been sourced from the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Australia, September quarter 2016 (ABS catalogue 5302.0). The partner country services data was sourced from the International Trade: Supplementary Information, calendar year, 2015-16 (ABS catalogue 5368.0.55.003/4).

The merchandise trade statistics used to compile this publication are derived by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from information provided to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection by exporters and importers. ABS editing procedures frequently lead to revisions of previously published trade


data and may occur for up to seven months after the reference period. Most of these revisions occur in the first month after the reference period.

DFAT uses merchandise trade data published three months after the reference period as a close proxy for final trade data for this period. For the 2015-16 financial reference year, ABS monthly merchandise trade data as at September 2016 have been used.

This allows DFAT to release its trade publications (and associated country/economic fact sheets) in a more timely fashion, and on a more consistent basis, than awaiting the release of the final trade data for 2015-16, seven months after the reference period. The minor revisions to the current reference period published after this point will be incorporated in the next calendar year issue of this publication.

DFAT adjustment to official ABS merchandise trade statistics DFAT has made a number of adjustments to the official trade statistics as published by the ABS. Please refer to Appendix G in this publication for more information.

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. Such details are aggregated into a ‘dump’ item (SITC code 988) or (TRIEC code 3041) in most tables. Appendices D and E list the restrictions applied to confidential export items and the countries most affected. It is worth noting that commodities are frequently added to the confidential list, e.g. as live cattle was in October 2015. In such cases the value shown for trade in aggregates containing these items will show a decrease.

Alumina exports – Bahrain, Egypt and Iceland

The partner country total value for exports up to 2012 will be correct except for total exports to Bahrain, Egypt and Iceland (from March 1992 to December 2012) which exclude alumina exports. These exports are coded to a ‘confidential country’ category and cannot be separately identified. As a result, the values of exports to these countries are understated in aggregate by the following amounts: $446 million in 2010-11; $513 million in 2011-12; and $172 million in 2012-13.

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 now aggregated into a single confidential country code.

For export data prior to June 2013, these data are added back into the appropriate country 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 country totals. Instead they are published as "No country details" in total Australian export data.

As a result, the values of exports by partner country are understated in aggregate by the following amounts: $5.7 billion in 2013-14, $6.2 billion in in 2014-15 and $5.8 billion in 2015-16.

Given the importance of accurate trade data, the DFAT has been working with the ABS to find a solution which will allow accurate partner country export/import totals on a financial and calendar year basis to be published while maintaining business confidentiality. As a result, the ABS was able to provide calendar and

financial year export and import totals to DFAT for selected trading partners for the periods affected as an unpublished dataset.

However, the ABS was not able to provide actual export and import totals for all countries (refer to Appendix G for a list of countries that were provided by the ABS). As a result, the values of exports to selected partner countries are understated in aggregate from June 2013 onwards.

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 now aggregated into a single confidential country code.

For import data prior to September 2008, these data are added back into the appropriate country 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 country totals. Instead they are published as "No country details" in total Australian import data. Of the commodity codes affected by this change, Aircraft, spacecraft & related parts and Natural gas and would make up the most significant component.

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

As with exports above the ABS has been able to release selected country actual total imports as an unpublished dataset (refer to Appendix G for a list of countries that were provided by the ABS). As a result, the values of imports to selected partner countries are understated in aggregate from September 2008 onwards.

Bulk wheat exports by partner country

The value of Bulk wheat exports by partner country was confidential in ABS merchandise trade statistics up to April 2009 and was included in confidential item (SITC 988), however the quantity data by partner was published.

From this date, the ABS removed this restriction for Bulk wheat exports. Users should be particularly careful in interpreting movements in wheat exports values by partner country between 2008-09 and 2009-10 (and 2009-10 and 2010-11) as the reported value of Wheat exports will include Bulk wheat from April 2009 onwards.

Barley and Lupins exports by partner country

The value of Barley and Lupins exports by partner country is released by the ABS after a six-month lag. The data is automatically incorporated into the ABS merchandise trade data after this period. In this publication, Barley exports for 2015-16 include only exports up to March 2016. Exports of Barley for the period April to June 2016 are included in confidential items.

For further information

To assist users of Australian trade data, the ABS publishes a monthly list of all Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) and Harmonized Tariff Item Statistical Code (HTISC) commodities with confidential restrictions in place 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 export statistics to ensure they are interpreting the trade statistics correctly.

DFAT has also written a number of articles on confidential in ABS merchandise trade statistics. A number of these articles are updated on a regular basis. The most useful articles include:

http://www.abs.gov.au/AusStats/[email protected]/MF/5372.0.55.001

• Confidentiality in Australian merchandise export statistics• Impact of ABS confidential restrictions on exports of Nickel (updated annually)• Australia's imports of aircraft & parts (updated annually)

The articles are available on the DFAT website.

Services

To avoid divulging commercially-sensitive details of individual firms, the ABS restricts release of statistics on certain services activities.

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 can be published.

Recorded trade basis vs BOP basis 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. The following table shows the differences between goods data on a BOP basis and merchandise trade data on a recorded trade basis.

Australia’s goods trade Recorded trade basis vs Balance of payments (BOP) basis

Based on ABS trade data on DFAT STARS database & ABS catalogue 5368.0.

The large differences for imports is mainly caused by low-valued imports (refer to DFAT’s Low value threshold goods article in this publication for more information) and an ABS adjustment to capital goods which Australia has taken ownership of but have not yet crossed the customs frontier.


Please note that in this publication total exports and imports of goods are shown on a BOP basis, while the accompany time series trade pivot tables are shown on a recorded trade basis. This means that share data calculated from the pivot table will be different to those published in this publication.

Commodity classification Balance of payments – goods

Australia’s BOP statistics are compiled in accordance with the latest international standards determined by the International Monetary Fund, and published in Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth edition, 2008 (BPM6).

Exports of goods in Australia’s BOP are classified into three major components: General merchandise, Net exports of goods under merchanting and Non-monetary gold. For the General merchandise component, the underlying classification scheme for exports is the United Nations’ Standard International Trade - Classification (SITC Rev4). The classification is broken down into Rural goods (with four underlying series) and Non-rural goods (with nine underlying series).

Imports of goods in Australia’s BOP are classified into two major components: General merchandise and Non-monetary gold. For General merchandise imports are broken into three ‘end use’ categories – Consumption goods, Capital goods and Intermediate and other goods, in accordance with the United Nations’ Classification by Broad Economic Categories (BEC).

Balance of payments – Services

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 as 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 defined as a BOP transaction. However, services delivered by a parent company to a foreign-resident subsidiary are defined as international services. 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.

The ABS Extended Balance of Payments services classification (EBOP) is based on the UN publication Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services. This is an extended services classification that is fully compatible with the BPM6.

In this classification, services commodities are broken down into 12 major groups: Manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others; Maintenance & repair; Transport; Travel; Construction; Insurance & pension; Financial; Charges for the use of intellectual property; Telecommunication, computer & information; Other business; Personal, cultural & recreational; and Government services and around 60 detailed services commodities.

For a more detailed explanation of ABS trade in services methodology and classifications please refer to the DFAT publication, Trade in Services Australia.

United Nation’s Standard International Trade Classification

In this publication, trade is disaggregated by two classifications: the merchandise Trade Import and Export Classification (TRIEC); and the United Nation’s (UN) Standard International Trade Classification, Revision 4 (SITCr4). The United Nations SITC is a hierarchical trade commodity classification with five different levels, with the 5-digit codes aggregating to the 4-digit level and so on to the 1-digit level. SITC does not include services.

http://dfat.gov.au/about-us/publications/Pages/trade-in-services-australia.aspx

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

For more information on the UN SITCr4 classification please refer to the UN Statistics Division website.

DFAT’s Trade Import and Export Classification

TRIEC was developed by DFAT’s Economic Diplomacy & Trade Advocacy and Statistics Section (EDS) to provide information on Australia’s merchandise trade by level of processing to meet specific analytical needs of the Department.

TRIEC is a secondary classification created from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) at the 4-digit level (with some 6-digit codes) for exports and the Harmonized Tariff Item Statistical Code (HTISC) at the 4-digit level (with some 6-digit codes) for imports.

TRIEC is fully compatible with the International Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) and as a result can be used to interrogate partner country merchandise trade statistics.

TRIEC broadly classifies merchandise trade into Primary products, Manufactured products and Other goods (mainly Non-monetary gold and Confidential trade). Appendix H lists the TRIEC classification codes and descriptors Primary products

Primary products in most cases are used as inputs into other products (with the exception of some refined fuels and processed foods and beverages).

Primary products are further classified as those that have no additional processing (such as mineral ores) and those that undergo some further processing in Australia (i.e. such as beverages, frozen and preserved food products and refined minerals and fuels). Manufactured products

Manufactured products are further classified as either ‘Simply transformed’ (STM) or ‘Elaborately transformed’ (ETM): • STM consist mainly of basic metal manufactures, chemicals and other intermediate manufactured

goods which will be used as inputs into other goods; and

• ETM are defined as products with unique features which permit their identification as differentiatedproducts on world markets, i.e. ‘finished goods’. ETM comprise the bulk of world trade in manufactures.

Although there are inevitably some items for which the distinction between STM and ETM may seem rather arbitrary, the overall distinction between STM and ETM provides an important basis for analysing the performance of Australia's manufactured trade.

More information on the TRIEC classification can be found on the DFAT website.

Ranking of goods and services

See Appendix F for the methodology and issues with ranking combined ABS goods and services data.

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).

http://unstats.un.org/unsd/trade/sitcrev4.htm

http://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/stats-pubs/TRIEC-Trade-Import-and-Export-Classification.html

Imports: Valued at the Australian Customs Value for Australian data. 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 the BPM6.

Country Data for a particular country or group are given on a basis consistent with the composition as at the end of the reference period for this publication (in this issue, June 2015).

For exports, ‘country’ refers to the final destination as reported by exporters. It is understood, 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 (SAR of China), and major European ports, with a consequent overstating of Australia's exports to these countries and corresponding understatement of exports to countries ‘down stream’ 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.

The geographic country groups are based on the ABS Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC), 2011 (ABS catalogue 1269.0), with a few minor exceptions. Turkey is included in Europe not the Middle East as recommended in the SACC, Bermuda is included in the Caribbean not North America. These exceptions allow goods and services data to be added together on a consistent basis.

The Pacific Islands country group has been created for departmental needs and consists of the following SACC country and minor country group codes: Australia (SACC code 1101), Norfolk Island (1102), New Zealand (1201), Melanesia (13), Micronesia (14) and Polynesia (excl Hawaii) (15).

Country groups are detailed in Appendix B.

Implications of G20 membership for data analysis

Users should exercise care in interpreting the data. Particular care should be taken as France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom are members of the G20 and also the EU28. Accordingly, there is a danger of double-counting data from these members. As such the G20 total in the data tables is not the sum of each of the members’ data as this will constitute double-counting of France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The G20 total is the sum of the EU28 plus other members (excepting France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom).

Merchandise trade

Although not members of APEC, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands have been included in the APEC United States’ total 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 United States data more consistent.

Services trade

Data from 2009 to August 2013 refers to the European Union 27. From September 2013 data refers to the European Union 28.

http://abs.gov.au/ausstats/[email protected]/mf/1269.0

The OECD includes Chile from March 2010; Israel and Slovenia from July 2010 and Estonia from October 2010.

Australian produced exports In line with UN recommendations total exports are defined to include re-exports, which are ‘goods, materials or articles originally imported and then exported in the same condition or after having undergone only minor operations that leave them essentially unchanged’. The remainder of total exports is Australian produced. The distinction between the two categories has most relevance in the analysis of Elaborately Transformed Manufactures (ETM), where re-exports represent a significant proportion of total exports.

In this publication, data for Total exports and Australian produced exports have been included in Section 4 Australia merchandise trade by level of processing.

Forecasts of cane sugar exports For many years, export trade data for Raw cane sugar and Non-industrial diamonds has been excluded from the monthly merchandise trade data set published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), and only separately released on a quarterly basis. The diamond data is available up to the most recent quarter, although the Raw cane sugar data is released after a six month lag. In this publication ABS actual Raw cane sugar data was available up to the March quarter 2016.

DFAT statistical products now incorporate the export data for Raw cane sugar and Non-industrial diamonds into its calendar and financial year tables. This provides a more complete trade data set for enhancing trade data analysis.

To overcome the data lag for Raw cane sugar exports, DFAT has estimated data for the December quarter 2015 for these exports using data from the Australian Bureau for Agricultural and Resources Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and partner-country import data from Australia’s major Raw cane sugar export markets.

Tourism Satellite Account A satellite account provides an expansion of Australia’s national accounts for a selected area of interest, in this case tourism. The Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) provides a means by which the economic aspects of tourism (including cross border activity) can be analysed separately from the main national accounts

The concepts used in Australia’s TSA are based on international standards set out in the United Nations World Tourism Organization – The Tourism Satellite Account Recommended Methodological Framework 2008.

The term ‘tourism’ in these international standards is not restricted to leisure activity. It also includes travel for business, education and other reasons. The central statistical entity in these tourism statistics is the ‘visitor’. The standards define a visitor as a traveller taking a trip to a destination outside their usual environment for less than one year for any purpose other than to be employed by the resident country or place visited.

For more information regarding the TSA please refer to the ABS publication: Tourism Satellite Account, Australian National Accounts (ABS catalogue 5249.0).

http://www.abs.gov.au/AusStats/[email protected]/MF/5249.0

ABS Chain volume measures To enable analysis of the movements of goods and services in ‘real’ terms, estimates of chain volume measures are presented in Table 1 and 3 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. 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 (ABS catalogue 5248.0).

Implicit price deflator (IPD) The IPDs used in this publication are derived by dividing current price series by the corresponding chain volume measure.

Terms of trade The terms of trade shows a country's export prices relative to its import prices. A rise in the index implies an improvement in a country’s terms of trade, enabling it to purchase more imports from the same amount of exports. A fall in the index implies deterioration in a country’s terms of trade, requiring it to export more to purchase the same amount of imports. Movements in the terms of trade are used in assessing the changing purchasing power of exports over imports, analysing real income, and evaluating the level of consumption that can be sustained in the domestic economy.

The terms of trade are measured using the following index:

Implicit price deflator (IPD) for the export (credit) item divided by the IPD for the import (debit) item, multiplied by 100.

The IPDs are derived by dividing current price series by the corresponding chain volume measure for exports and imports.

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 rate as it takes account of all observations and, as such, is less likely to be affected by the end points of a given period.

Total trade Total trade is the sum of exports and imports. This is a useful measurement of the overall trading relationship between Australia and its trading partners. Total trade data is useful in ranking Australia’s major trading partners, without a bias towards ranking only the larger export markets, or the larger import sources.

http://www.abs.gov.au/AusStats/[email protected]/MF/5248.0

Balance of trade The balance of trade is the difference between exports and imports. When exports exceed imports this is referred to as a trade surplus, when imports exceed exports this is referred to as a trade deficit.

APPENDIX D – CONFIDENTIAL EXPORTS IN THE SITC 988

The system used by the ABS for confidentialising foreign trade statistics is designed to maximise the release of data, without divulging details of any single firm's operations. A complex range of confidentiality provisions are applied to the data. Those of most relevance in this publication are:

A. No details No data for a particular commodity item is separately released. For example, the total value of non-industrial diamonds exports is only included in the confidential item dump code of 988 for all countries and world total.

B. No countrydetails

Total exports of a particular commodity are available, but not for individual countries. For example, the value of liquefied natural gas exports to each country is suppressed, but the world total is available.

C. Selected countrydetails

Exports of a particular commodity to some countries are suppressed, but the value of exports to other countries, and the world total is available.

The following table lists details of confidential commodity items that can be identified separately in the SITCr4 classification: SITC Code Description

APPENDIX F – GOODS AND SERVICES RANKINGS

Commodity rankings The ranking of Australia’s top exports and imports is usually based on merchandise (goods) trade only. DFAT ranks merchandise trade using the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification Rev4 (SITC). SITC is a hierarchical trade commodity classification with five different levels, with the 5-digit codes aggregating to the 4-digit level and so on to the 1-digit level. SITC does not include services.

When ranking merchandise exports and imports, DFAT uses SITC at the 3-digit level (approximately 260 codes). At this level, all Australia's goods exports are easily identifiable with meaningful descriptions, i.e. Coal, Iron ore, Gold, Crude petroleum, Beef, Wheat, Alumina, Aluminium, Natural gas, Passenger cars etc.

To measure the contribution of services activities to exports and imports, the SITC classification was combined with the ABS Extended Balance of Payments (EBOP) services classification to derive Australia's top 25 exports and imports. The ABS EBOP services classification is based on the United Nation publication Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services, 2010 (MSITS) and the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) sixth edition of the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6).

Services classified by EBOP were integrated into the SITC 3-digit merchandise rankings at the 1-digit level covering 12 broad services activities with the exception of: . Transport, Travel and Other business services. As these three codes accounted for more than

80 per cent of Australia’s total services exports and imports, so activities at the 2-digit EBOP level were used to provide more detail on the types of services traded in these broad categories; and

. For Personal travel services only, the 3-digit EBOP level was used to separate out Education-related travel services and Other personal travel services – Australia’s two largest services exports activities.

Using this method, Australia’s top 25 exports and imports of goods and services are shown in Tables 4 and 5 in this publication.

In addition to the rankings DFAT has also included two analytical industry series in these tables covering trade by the Education and Tourism industries.

Education includes the following EBOP codes – Education-related-travel services (EBOP 4.2.1), Royalties on education services (EBOP code 8.5.1) and Other education services (EBOP code 11.2.2).

Tourism is based on the ABS Tourism Satellite Account (TSA): . The TSA measures the consumption of goods and services by the tourism industry, with an aim to

measure the direct contribution to the Australian economy of the tourism industry. The TSA defines tourism consumption to include all travellers who stay in the host economy for less than one year, regardless of their purpose for travel (such as business, education, health and recreational purposes). As such the TSA definition of exports and imports of tourism covers more than just recreational travellers.

. The TSA definition includes all or part of the following services activities from the EBOP trade in services classification: Passenger air and Sea transportation services and Related agency fees &

commissions; Travel services (including Business travel, Education-related travel and Other personal travel) as well as imputed services which are not measured in the EBOP classification, such as goods provided to visitors in private households; and

. The TSA data is only available on a financial year basis. For more information on the TSA please refer to the ABS publication Tourism Satellite Accounts (catalogue 5249.0).

Users should not include these two analytical series in the goods and services rankings as they would double count particular EBOP services items. For example to include Tourism into the rankings without adjusting other EBOP items would double count all or part of Business, Education, Other personal travel services and Passenger transport services.

Country rankings DFAT estimates total trade in goods and services on a regional basis by adding goods (merchandise) data on a recorded trade basis with services data on a BOP basis. DFAT has been producing these estimates since the ABS ceased publishing its regional BOP publication in 1999-2000 (this publication contained regional goods and services both on a consistent BOP basis).

As DFAT cannot convert merchandise trade data to a BOP basis to be consistent with ABS published services data, DFAT’s current methodology to produce regional goods and services estimates has a number of issues that users should be aware of: . Net exports of goods under merchanting will not be included in DFAT’s regional goods and services

statistics as it is not included in ABS merchandise trade statistics. This export was valued at $406 million in 2015-16;

. Imports of Goods procured in port by carriers will not be included in DFAT’s regional goods and services statistics as it is not included in ABS merchandise trade statistics. This import was valued at $1.2 billion in 2015-16; and

. Exports and imports of Goods for processing includes the gross value of the good as reported in ABS merchandise trade statistics, but also double counts the processing fee recorded in ABS services trade statistics under Manufactured services on physical inputs owned by others. The processing fee was valued at $17 million for exports and $1 million for imports in 2015-16.

DFAT has analysed the impact of these issues on its regional estimates (for 2008-09) and has found that they are relatively insignificant. For exports only one country (the United States) was out by more than 1 per cent. For imports only six countries are impacted by more than 1 per cent, with the exception of imports from Hong Kong (which was out by plus 15 per cent, mainly due to imports of Goods procured in port).

APPENDIX G – DFAT ADJUSTMENTS TO ABS OFFICIAL TRADE DATA

Introduction The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) makes a number of adjustments to published Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) official monthly merchandise trade data to produce the most accurate dataset possible on Australia’s merchandise trade data on a calendar year and financial year basis. These adjustments include using ABS trade data that is released after a time lag, DFAT estimates and the correction of a number of small errors in the ABS monthly trade dataset.

1. Merchandise trade data released after a time lagThe ABS has been able to negotiate special reporting arrangements with a number of providers of trade data by releasing confidential data with a time lag. These export commodities include: • Barley (AHECC2 1003.00.10 & 20) and Lupins (AHECC 1214.90.21) — all country details released on a

monthly basis six months after the reference period. This data is automatically included in theregular monthly updates of ABS merchandise trade data after the time lag.

• Raw cane sugar (AHECC 1701.11.40) — commodity and country details (values and quantity) on aquarterly basis are released six months after the reference period. This data is not automaticallyincluded in monthly updates of ABS merchandise trade data but is available in a spreadsheet format.

• Non-industrial diamonds (AHECC 7102.31.00) — commodity and country details (values only)released on a quarterly basis only. This data is not automatically included in monthly updates of ABSmerchandise trade data but is available in a spreadsheet format.

The ABS monthly export dataset does not include the Raw cane sugar and the Non-industrial diamonds (though it does include the Barley and Lupins six months after the reference period). In DFAT’s annual trade publications and time series datasets exports of Raw cane sugar and the Non-industrial diamonds has been included.

2. Confidentiality in ABS monthly trade data and its impact on accuratepartner country export and import data The ABS has been required to apply country 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 partner country totals and State/Territory totals.

For exports, from June 2013 a number of export commodities3 were excluded, with the major ones Cane sugar, Nickel Mattes, Nickel alloys unworked and Non-industrial diamonds. From this period onwards a

Merchandise Trade: Confidential Commodities List (catalogue 5372.055.001).

number of Country/State totals for exports will be under-reported in ABS monthly trade statistics. The ABS advised that data was confidentialised in this way to ensure that trade to individual countries/states could not be identified, even if the transactions were unusually large4.

The confidential export commodity codes excluded from partner country totals may not remain consistent over time. The ABS reviews confidentiality on a monthly basis and may add or remove some exports codes from this list. For example the ABS added a new commodity, Fresh or dried macadamia nuts to the list from October 2013.

In aggregate $5.8 billion has been excluded from ABS partner country export data in 2015-16 (refer to Table A). List A shows the full list of the export commodities affected at this stage and the time period the restriction covers.

Based on ABS trade data (September 2016) on DFAT STARS database.

In terms of imports, from the month of September 2008 onwards a number of import commodities5 have been excluded from partner country totals and State/Territory totals for the same reasons as the export data.

The major commodities excluded include selected aircraft, refined petroleum and natural gas imports. From this period onwards a number of Country/State totals for imports will be under-reported in ABS monthly trade statistics. In aggregate $4.7 billion has been excluded from ABS partner country import data in 2015-16 (refer to Table B).

As with exports, the confidential import commodity codes excluded from partner country totals may not remain consistent over time. List B shows the full list of the import commodities affected at this stage and the time period the restriction covers.

Given the importance of accurate trade data, DFAT has been working with the ABS to find a solution which will allow accurate partner country export/import totals on a financial and calendar year basis to be published while maintaining business confidentiality. As a result the ABS was able to provide calendar and financial year export and import totals to DFAT for selected trading partners for the periods affected in the publication International Trade: Supplementary Information (catalogue number 5368.0.55.003 & 004).

4 International Trade in goods and services Australia, June 2013 issue, page 4 (catalogue 5368.0). 5 Harmonized Tariff Item Statistical Code (HTISC) at the 10-digit level that have the confidentiality restrictions 'No commodity details' or 'No value

details'.

Appendix A (http://www.dfat.gov.au/trade/resources/trade-statistics/Pages/trade-time-series-data.aspx) shows the full list of the actual partner country export and import data that has been obtained from the ABS on a calendar and financial year basis. This data is included in DFAT’s annual trade publications and time series datasets.

Based on ABS trade data (September 2016) on DFAT STARS database.

Please note that this issue is going to make it difficult to determine actual trends in Australia’s total exports and imports by partner country on an ongoing basis. All users are advised to use ABS partner country merchandise export and import data with caution for the countries not covered by the unpublished ABS data.

For State/Territory exports and import the ABS has published actual totals on a balance of payments basis in the quarterly publication Balance of Payments and International Investment Position (catalogue number 5302.0).

3. Corrections to ABS merchandise trade dataDFAT has identified a number of small corrections to ABS merchandise trade data that the ABS did not apply to their monthly trade dataset as the value of the transaction fell below the ABS normal threshold level for amending trade records6.

The following is a list of corrections that are applied to ABS trade data by DFAT in its annual trade statistical publication and time series datasets:

• Exports of Arms & ammunition (AHECC 9306) from the ACT to Germany in October 2009 valued at$2,380,000 were a re-export and should not be included as an export produced from the ACT.

• Imports of $93,000 of Meat of bovine animals, frozen (HTISC 0202) from the United States in May2005 were incorrect in ABS import statistics. The Department of Immigration & Border Protectionconfirmed the imports were pork (HTISC 0203) not beef.

• Imports of Iron ore (HTISC 2601) from New Caledonia were incorrectly being coded in ABS importstatistics. The imports were actually Nickel ores (HTISC 2606). All time periods have been corrected.

• Imports of Arms & ammunition (HTISC 9306) from Timor-Leste were incorrectly coded. Imports havebeen coded to miscellaneous manufactures. All time periods have been corrected.

4. DFAT estimates for missing data items.In some cases DFAT has estimated trade that is not included in published ABS data.• Raw cane sugar exports – To overcome the time lag for Raw cane sugar exports, DFAT has estimated

data for the March and June quarters 2016 (for the financial year 2015-16) by using informationfrom the Australian Bureau for Agricultural and Resources Economics and Sciences (ABARES) andpartner-country import data from Australia’s major Raw cane sugar export markets.

• France imports – DFAT has estimated actual imports from France for the period September 2008until June 2015 (excluding the periods July 2013 to June 2014 and January 2015 to June 2015 whichis based on actual ABS data). The major import excluded from partner country import data fromSeptember 2008 onwards is aircraft.

• United States imports – DFAT has estimated actual imports from the United States for the periodJanuary 2016 to June 2016 (all other periods are based on actual ABS data). The major importexcluded from partner country import data from September 2008 onwards is aircraft

These estimates are included in DFAT’s annual trade publications and time series datasets.

For further information DFAT publishes a number of articles that provide supplementary information on Australian trade data not included in ABS official trade statistics including: • Australia's imports of aircraft & parts;

• Changes to ABS merchandise export statistics and its impact on partner country aggregates;

• Impact of ABS confidential restrictions on exports of Nickel; and

• Confidentiality in Australian merchandise export statistics.

These articles can be found on the DFAT website at http://dfat.gov.au/about-us/publications/Pages/recent-trade-statistical-articles-and-information-papers.aspxl.

For further information on the impact of confidentiality in ABS merchandise trade statistics please refer to the ABS publication – catalogue. 5372.0.55.001 - International Merchandise Trade: Confidential Commodities List.
