China: International Trade,
First Quarter, 1984
The trade statistics in this publication are derived from computerized series
of partner country data, which are continuously updated. The methodolo-
gies for these programs are described in appendix A of CIA, ER CIT 79-
1001, China: International Trade Quarterly Review, First Quarter, 1979
and in the preface to CIA, EA 82-10015, China: International Trade,
Annual Statistical Supplement, February 1982. The most recent quarterly
estimates are made with about 75 percent of the trade having been
reported. On the basis of analysis of the variance in past trade shares, we
expect that, when all countries have reported, the total trade figures will
differ from our estimates for the current quarter by less than 2 percent for
exports and less than 4 percent for imports. Estimates for earlier quarters,
for which we have much more complete trade partner data, are expected to
change only marginally.
Unless otherwise noted, Chinese exports, imports, and trade balances are
valued free on board (f.o.b) at the port of origin. For balance-of-payments
purposes, this procedure is preferable to valuing imports on a cost-
insurance-freight (c.i.f.) basis. Because a large share of the trade is carried
on Chinese ships, a c.i.f. value would overstate the foreign exchange costs
of imports.

a/ Data are from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Trade; totals may differ from those of the IMF, presented in Tables 2
through 4, due to exchange rate conversions and commodity coverage. Aggregate categories are based on the 1-digit SITC, Revision 1
nomenclature, and correspond to the 1-digit SITC categories in Tables 5 and 6. Subaggregate categories are the most important 3-
digit SITC, Revision 2 groups traded in 1982. Blank spaces indicate that no trade was reported; ellipsis marks ( ..) indicate that
trade, if any, amounted to less than US $50,000.
