It is difficult to get a complete picture of Tasmania's international freight imports because only those goods imported directly into the state from overseas are currently recorded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). It is known that significant amounts of consumer goods and raw materials for input into manufacturing processes are brought into the state via mainland Australia, and are not recorded by the ABS as Tasmanian imports. This accounts for the substantial difference between international imports and exports in both air and sea freight activity in Tasmania.
