This presentation provides a high level overview of New Zealand's exports in the 2017 calendar year. It contains information related to Exported and Re-Exported goods to our bilateral trading partners that NZ has a Free Trade Agreement with.
2. BRIEF DISCLAIMER
• Overseas trade and cargo data is provided by exporters/importers and their agents
to the New Zealand Customs Service. Customs Service data is processed and
passed to Statistics New Zealand for further editing, compilation and aggregation
by Statistics New Zealand before we receive the processed data.
• All overseas merchandise trade data is provisional for three months, and is
therefore subject to change until finalised. As at writing, (February 2018) data
for October, November and December have been classified as provisional by
both Stats NZ and Indo-NZ Enterprises Ltd.
• This report has been prepared in good faith based on information obtained from
the sources above and we believe the data to be reliable and accurate. However,
that information has not been independently verified or investigated by us.
• The full disclaimer can be viewed here.
3. ATTRIBUTION
• This work is based on/includes Stats NZ’s data which are licensed by Stats NZ for re-
use under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.
• Regional classification was sourced from the UN. Some country names may have
changed since this standard was implemented, and those changes have been
reflected in this report.
• Minor changes have been made from the M.49 standard for example:
• China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in the M.49 entry was modified to Hong Kong (SAR) in
this report
• China, Macao Special Administrative Region in the M.49 entry was modified to Macau(SAR) in this report

4. GENERAL NOTES
• Exports have been defined by Stats NZ as “goods of domestic origin exported from
New Zealand to another country. Exports in this release are valued fob and are
shown in New Zealand dollars. Estimated values may be used for goods that are
not already sold at the time of export entry lodgement.”
• Re-Exports has been defined by Stats NZ as “merchandise exports that were
earlier imported into New Zealand and have less than 50 percent New Zealand
content by value.”
• Not all quantity (Export Quantity and Re-Export Quantity) fields in all records were
populated in the source data. Readers of this brief should be aware that the fields
mentioned are absolute minimums. The actual true count of quantities is therefore
likely to be much higher.
• While preparing the analysis of the date, items such as chapter, heading, etc. are
treated as dimensions. Measures are not summed across dimensions.
5. GENERAL NOTES
• Total Exports is the sum of all exported and re-exported goods.
• The international Harmonised System for Classification follows a hierarchical
structure, comprising 21 sections, 98 chapters (2 digit), 1229 headings (4 digit), and
5,394 sub-headings (6 digit). This structure is further broken down into approximately
15,300 statistical keys (10 digit) for New Zealand's purposes (as the NZHSC).
• For Multilateral reporting, individual markets may be part of multiple agreements (for
example, APEC, ASEAN, ASEAN Regional Forum). As this is a high level summary, I
have not broken down the individual markets within the agreement, however this is
possible at the source level. Please contact us for further details.
