Methodological Information

Statistical Value

Statistical value is the value of goods at the time and place where the goods cross the borders of Cyprus.

Domestically Produced and Foreign Produced Goods

Domestically produced goods are goods that are wholly produced in Cyprus or goods that were produced in another country, but the last economically substantial processing or working took place in Cyprus that led to the manufacture of a new product or represents an important stage in the manufacturing process. Goods which were originally imported and have undergone a repair or other non-substantial process which does not substantially change them are not defined as domestic.

Foreign goods are goods produced in a country other than Cyprus and derived goods which have undergone substantial processing in a country other than Cyprus which has given them origin in that country.

Trading Partner

Intra-EU exports and exports to third countries are compiled on the basis of the EU Member State and the country of final destination respectively, i.e. the last country to which the goods are known to be shipped at the time of export.

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 are recorded on the basis of country of origin until 31 December 2020. From January 2021 onwards, for trade with Northern Ireland, imports are recorded on the basis of country of origin, while for trade with the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) imports are recorded on the basis of country of origin. For these reasons, import statistics from the United Kingdom are not fully comparable with those of other third countries for the periods before and after the end of 2020.

For more information, interested parties can visit the Statistical Service Portal, under External Trade, CYSTAT-DB (Database), Predefined Tables (Excel), Publications, Methodological Information or contact Mr. Sofronis Viki by telephone at 22602206 or by e-mail at svikis@cystat.mof.gov.cy or Ms. Ioanna Leontiou by telephone at 22605122 or by e-mail at ileontiou@cystat.mof.gov.cy[/URL].

The Predefined Tables in Excel format include data up to December 2022. For January 2023 and thereafter, the update is done only in the CYSTAT-DB Database.
