2 Preface We are pleased to present External Trade Statistics 2009, the fifth official publications of annual Trade Statistics for Timor-Leste. The statistics contained in this report show the patterns of International trade relating to Timor-Leste during the 2009 calendar year. Additionally, the report provides comparative annual data for 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and for 2007; where is available This publication provides the trade statistics required for government, the donor community, NGOs, universities, research organisations and the private sector. This report is produced annually, along with the regular monthly Trade data releases that began in January However, in 2007 the DNE was not able to publish the annual report, due to the lack of data for several months during that year. In addition to this publication the DNE has now established a comprehensive Trade Statistics database. On request, this database can provide more detailed statistical data than is presented in this annual publication. External Trade statistics are compiled from declarations made to the Timor-Leste Customs Service by importers and exporters, or their agents. We would therefore like to express our thanks for the cooperation of the Customs Service in providing the base data used to compile this publication. We would like to extend our appreciation for the support provided by the Asian Development Bank during the initial years of Trade Statistics system implementation. Thanks are also extended to the offices of NZAID that has enabled further development of the Trade Statistics program. This publication is the result of the work of a small team at DNE Trade Statistics Section, composed of Mr. Eduardo Martinho Ximenes and Ms. Nani Rolanda under the supervision of Mr. Rodolfo Soares We kindly advise users to read the concepts and definitions in the initial section of this report to fully understand the statistical data presented. We would welcome any comments from users of this publication for improving the future Trade Statistics releases. Antonio Freitas, SE, M.M General Director of Analysis and Research Elias dos S. Ferreira Acting Director DNE 2

4 Introduction With the publication of this annual Trade Statistics report the National Statistics Directorate / Direcção Nacional de Estatística provides the latest available data on imports and exports for Timor-Leste during the 2009 calendar year. As a stand alone indicator Trade statistics form a valuable source of information on the economic health of a country, as well as being used by a wide variety of planning and business organisations. Statistics on imports and exports form a valuable component of a country s statement of economic transactions in the National Accounts and Balance of Payments. Accordingly, internationally comparable Trade Statistics that are accurate, detailed and timely have always been a statistical priority. Such information is vitally important for the planning and future development of Timor-Leste. The information contained in this report aggregates the regular monthly releases of Trade Statistics issued by the Directorate during Additionally there are tables that aim to provide a more comprehensive picture of trading patterns than is possible from viewing a single month s data. As the Trade Statistics database grows it is now possible to present comparative annual data. The statistical methods and concepts used to compile data for this report closely follow the recommendations of UN publication International Merchandise Trade Statistics: Concepts and Definitions (IMTS, Rev.2) wherever possible. The objective of External Trade Statistics, 2009 is to provide an aggregated view of import and export statistics for the 2009 calendar year, accepting the fact that more detailed analysis of specific commodities is available by contacting the National Statistics Directorate / Direcção Nacional de Estatística. 4

5 Concepts, Definitions and Explanations of Data The following section aims to provide additional information on the methods used to collect and analyse the Trade Statistics contained in this report. As already mentioned, these Trade Statistics are compiled using the UN International Merchandise Trade Statistics: Concepts and Definitions (IMTS, Rev.2) as a guide and quotations from that publication are included here. Source of Data Data is obtained from import and export documents lodged with the Customs Service of Timor-Leste. This data is then processed by the National Statistics Directorate to produce External Trade Statistics that conform to United Nations statistical concepts. The ASYCUDA (Automated System for Customs Data) system became operational in the Timor-Leste Customs Service in October This system provides the basic data from which External Trade Statistics are prepared. Currently this system provides coverage of all imports and exports from the main airport and seaports plus parcel post. Some documentation from small ports is also processed at the Dili Customs Office, however it should be noted that approximately 4% of entries (those not lodged electronically via ASYCUDA), may not be included in the Trade Statistics. Time of Recording System of Recording Merchandise Trade Import and Export Statistics are compiled by Date of Assessment. This is the date on which the duty to be paid (if any) is assessed by the Customs Service, in effect clearing the goods for import/export. External Trade statistics are compiled in close accordance with the United Nations International Merchandise Trade Statistics Concepts and Definitions. The system is known as the "general "system of recording trade statistics as defined in UN statistical papers M52. Under this system imports include all goods entering the economic territory of a compiling country and exports includes all goods leaving the economic territory of a compiling country. The economic territory includes bonded warehouses. Merchandise Trade is the import or export of goods that alter the nation s stock of material resources as a result of their movement in or out of the country. 5

6 Non Merchandise Trade Goods which do not permanently add to the material resources of a country are identified as Non Merchandise trade. Some common examples would be temporary imports, returnable containers, goods in transit and goods consigned to foreign embassies within a host country. Country Statistics Import statistics are available by Country of Origin - the country of manufacture of the goods. Export statistics are available by Country of Destination the country of final destination as shown on the export declaration. Commodity Classification Limitations of data Goods are classified by Customs using the Customs Tariff that is based on the international Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, or HS as it is sometimes called. External Trade statistics are compiled from documents provided by exporters and importers to the Timor-Leste Customs Service. Considerable reliance is placed on the exporters/importers and their agents submitting correct codes and information. Before the data is released for statistical purposes it is validated and detected errors corrected however no warranty can be given that this information contains no errors. It should also be noted that goods crossing international borders without appropriate Customs documentation would not be included in Trade Statistics. F.O.B. (Free on Board) C.I.F. (Cost, Insurance and Freight) Re Exports Method of valuation for Exports. This valuation includes the cost of the goods plus their delivery on board ship ready for departure. Method of valuation for Imports. This valuation includes the cost of the goods, cost of insuring the goods during transportation and cost of freight. Re Exports are goods leaving the country that were previously imported into Timor-Leste and comprise less than 50 percent Timor-Leste value by content at time of export. 6
