Methodological Information
Statistical Value
The statistical value is the value of the goods at the time and place they cross the border of Cyprus.
Domestic and Foreign Goods
Domestically produced goods are goods wholly obtained in Cyprus or goods produced in another country, but their last economically substantial processing or processing that led to the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture, took place in Cyprus. Goods that were originally imported and have undergone repair or other minor operations which leave them essentially unchanged are not defined as domestic.
Foreign goods are goods which were not produced in the economic territory of Cyprus and compensating goods obtained under the outward processing procedure when such processing confers foreign origin.
Partner Country
Intra-EU exports and extra-EU exports are classified by the member state of the EU and country of final destination of the goods, respectively. The last country to which the goods are known to be specifically directed on their outward movement from the reporting country is regarded as their final destination.
For extra-EU imports, the trading partner is the country of origin. In general, goods obtained entirely from a given country originate in that country. A product in the production of which two or more countries are involved, is considered as originating in the country in which the last substantial, economically justified transformation or processing took place, resulting in the manufacture of a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture.
For intra-EU imports, the trading partner is the member state of consignment of the goods.
The United Kingdom is considered as an extra-EU partner country for the EU. Imports from the United Kingdom are recorded by country of consignment until 31 December 2020. As of January 2021 onwards, for trade with Northern Ireland imports are recorded by country of consignment, while for trade with the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) imports are recorded by country of origin. For these reasons data on trade with the United Kingdom are not fully comparable with data on trade with other extra-EU trade partners for reference periods before and after the end of 2020.
