METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Statistical Value
The statistical value is the value of goods at the time and place where the goods cross the border of Cyprus.
Trading Partner
Intra-EU exports
and exports to third countries[/B] are compiled on the basis of the EU Member State and the country of final destination respectively, i.e. The last country to which, at the time of export, the goods are known to be shipped.
The trading partner for imports from third countries is the country of origin of the goods, i.e. the country in which the goods are wholly produced. A good, the production of which involves two or more countries, originates in the country in which the last economically substantial processing or working leading to the manufacture of a new product took place or represents a significant stage in the manufacturing process.
The trading partner for intra-Community imports is the Member State of origin of the goods.
The United Kingdom is included in trade with third countries. Imports from the United Kingdom shall be recorded on the basis of country of origin until 31 December 2020. From January 2021 onwards, for trade with Northern Ireland imports shall be recorded on the basis of country of origin and for trade with the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) imports shall be recorded on the basis of country of origin. For these reasons, import statistics from the United Kingdom are not fully comparable with those from other third countries for periods before and after the end of 2020.
