Technical Notes
Network of world merchandise trade:
The world merchandise trade network by region and product is based on export data. The network is constructed in the following way:
First, total merchandise exports from each of the seven regions are aggregated from the individual country or territory figures.
Next, the total merchandise exports of each region are distributed by destination and then by product. The regional and commodity breakdown is based on UNSD
Comtrade database, EUROSTAT, GTIS GTA database, national statistics and Secretariat estimates.
During this process, the principal adjustments to the figures are as follows:
(i) Exports of ships to the open registry countries Panama and Liberia are re-allocated from each regions exports to South and Central America and Africa to
unspecified destinations (a category not shown separately).
(ii) Chinas exports are adjusted to approximate their final destination.
(iii) Exports of non-monetary gold, where known, are included. When they cannot be broken down by destination, they are allocated to unspecified destinations.
(iv) South Africas trade does not include trade with the former Southern African Customs Union members. If South Africas exports would be
adjusted for these shipments to SACU members, its total exports would increase by about $5 billion in 2008 and intra-African trade would be substantially higher,
with intra-SACU trade being the largest intra trade flow for regional trade agreements in Africa.
The network is only available for selected product aggregates and regional groupings (see below). Rankings neither include exports to unspecified destinations
nor other products, not elsewhere specified.
