Preface
|
The publication by Statistics Iceland of reports on external trade each year marks the conclusion of the processing of Icelandic trade data for the preceding year. Each year Statistics Iceland publishes two separate works under the title External Trade. |
|
The present publication, Utanríkisverslun eftir tollskrár-númerum (Icelandic External Trade by HS Numbers), contains detailed tables of exports and imports by individual customs tariff numbers and, within each number, by individual countries. The introduction includes a description of the data used as well as of methodology, definitions, classification and processing. |
|
The second external trade publication is Icelandic External Trade, Commodities and countries. This work contains a summary of Icelandic external trade in general including tables on exports and imports classified by divisions of products and classified by trade with individual countries and market areas. |
|
Both of these reports are also published on the Statistics Iceland website. The report on commodities and countries is also published in Icelandic entitled Utanríkisverslun, vöruflokkar og viðskiptalönd. That is published only on the Statistics Iceland website. |
