COUNTRY BREAKDOWN The following charts show Australia's major trading partners for the calendar year 2013. The charts include both trade in goods (on an international merchandise trade basis) and trade in services (on a balance of payments basis). The first chart shows the countries with the largest two-way trade i.e. combined trade in both exports and imports of goods and services. The second chart shows separately total exports and total imports, for the ten countries in the first chart. Combining trade in goods (on an international merchandise trade basis) and trade in services (on a balance of payments basis) provides a good approximation of total trade. Some components are excluded (e.g. merchanting credits and goods procured in ports by carriers debits). The manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others component country information is already available in the goods estimates and is therefore not included in the services estimates to avoid double counting. These components are unlikely to impact on the broad analysis. Exports data with the confidentiality restrictions 'no commodity details' or 'no value details' are aggregated into a single confidential commodity code. Prior to June 2013, these data are added back into the appropriate country total (i.e. these totals show the correct level of trade). From June 2013 these confidential data are excluded from the individual country and included in 'no country details' in the detailed breakdown presented in time series spreadsheet table 14a. In 2013, confidential exports data not added back into the appropriate country total accounted for 1.42% of the total exports value, however this figure does vary across individual countries. In table 14 of this publication, the 'no country details' data is included in 'other countries'. Imports data with the confidentiality restrictions 'no commodity details' or 'no value details' are excluded from the individual country and included in 'no country details' in the detailed breakdown presented in time series spreadsheet table 14b. In 2013, these restrictions represented 1.93% of the total imports value, however this figure does vary across individual countries. In table 14 of this publication, the 'no country details' data is included in 'other countries'. Document Selection These documents will be presented in a new window.
