12 Kosovo international trade statistics - methodological notes Resources Trade statistics consist mainly of documents submitted to the customs authority by importers or exporters (or their agents). This document is a Single Customs Document (SCD), which is used for customs clearance purposes. Information from the document is transferred to the customs information system. Responsibilities for collecting, compiling and publishing data The customs administration is responsible for collecting, entering and processing the customs declaration data. Data in the field of statistics, which are registered in SCD, are reported on a monthly basis by Customs Administration at KAS, electronically. KAS is responsible for processing and publishing Kosovo international trade data. These statistics include data according to the type of customs procedures. Additional work involves the correction and approval of customs data. Scope Kosovo international trade statistics do not include imports and exports of temporary goods which, in the unaltered state or condition, will be returned after a certain time, such as services, repairs, money in terms of wages, money in gold, supply of fuel of Kosovar vehicles abroad, import of goods for liaison offices and other diplomatic missions in Kosovo, personal luggage of passengers, commercial samples and low value mail packages. The registration system Kosovo international trade statistics are compiled according to the "special" (facilitating definition) system of international trade registration. Under this system, imports and exports are recorded at a time when goods move through the territory under free circulation, and this is the part where goods can be sold without customs restrictions. The mitigating definition implies that in addition to the regular export and import transactions, both external and internal processing is involved. Special exports include exports of goods: exports after inward processing, exports for outward processing and exports that are not registered in customs. Special imports consist of imports of goods from: imports for inward processing (S.S), imports after external processing, imports that are not registered in the customs. Excluded are goods that are in transit. Estimation For imports, the cif value (including cost, security and transport of goods at the entry point in Kosovo) is used. The export value is fob (free on board). This is the price of goods purchased abroad including packaging, transport within the country, the charge price, insurance and other costs incurred when the goods are placed on the vessel for export, on airplanes or transported to remote areas. The value of the invoice is recalculated to the value of the Kosovo border by adding or subtracting, in whole or in part, the costs of transport, loading, unloading, which depend on the terms of supply specified in the contract. 8

13 The value excludes: " any amount received by the exporter on the route of reimbursement, reimbursement of the customs duty, subsidy or any other granted. " any foreign customs duty or modification of the carriage of goods other than at the customs point or at the point of exportation. The value is in euros. For transactions where the value is denominated in another currency, the euro exchange rate is made using the weekly exchange rate. Reference period The calendar month is a basic time to collect the data. Based on customs data, the date of delivery of the customs declaration or other valid dates for the implementation of the customs rules are the time to register the import / export transactions. Quantity units The quantity of imported and exported goods is shown net weight, if it can be determined, taking into account the nature of the product as well as the additional unit when described by the customs tariff nomenclature. Net weight is the usual unit of the given quantity. The weight of containers, luggage, bottles and packing materials are excluded. Other units of quantity used for some of the most important goods such as livestock, motors for vehicles, local equipment, watches, clothes (where the numbering unit is used), shoes (where the number of pairs is used), wrappings for the floor (where the square meter is used) and beverages (where volume is used). Partner states In this publication, imports are registered by country of origin (as opposed to the country of destination). Goods obtained or produced in a country of origin but from the same country. A product in whose production are involved two or more countries, then as a country of origin is considered the country where the last major processing was made. Packaging, repackaging and classification are not considered as manufacturing processes. Exports are classified by country of final destination. The last destination of goods is considered the last state for which the goods are intended. This does not mean that it is the country where the goods will be discharged or where the final consumption will be made. Classification of the state The country nomenclature is the classification of countries (geo-nomenclature), according to the Official Journal of the European Commission, published annually. Since January 1999, the United Nations' ISO alpha 2-digit system is used, where each state is identified by a figure composed of two-letters. Classification of goods Statistics are collected by using the Combined Nomenclature (CN) 8 digit - tariff and statistical nomenclature of the EU. This nomenclature is managed and updated annually by the Commission in cooperation with Member States. CN is aligned with the 6-digit system of the Harmonized System of Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) - the 9

14 Nomenclature of the Customs Council for Co-operation that is used throughout the world for applying customs tariffs and compiling international trade statistics. The CN contains about 10,400 sub-head 8-digit number, the first six digits are identical with the figures of the Harmonized System (HS). The Standard Classification of Trade (SCT), revision No.3 (SSCT Rev 3) has been developed by the United Nations for advanced international comparability of international trade statistics. Standard Classification of External Trade (SCET) Revision No.3 contains about 3,100 basic headings (5-digit). These are combined into 261 groups (3-digit), 98 divisions (2-digit) and 10 sections (1-digit). For example, Section 6 (manufactured goods classified mainly by material) consists of 9 Divisions, 61 to 69. Division 64 (paper, paperboard and articles thereof) consists of two groups, 641 and 642, which together consist of 72 basic headings, such as (paper handkerchiefs, towels, tablecloths, and the like). SCET Revision No.3 is identical to the structure of the Harmonized System. Each of the categories in the SCET (including all the basic headings) is equivalent to a combination of HS headings (and therefore to a combination of CN headings). Publication of data Monthly data are provisional and are published 30 days after the reference month. Annual data are published in June. Publication Published data of Kosovo international trade statistics are: Aggregated data are published at the KAS website, 30 days after the reference period.
