For re-exports, merchandise trade statistics are reported by country/territory of origin and/or country/territory of consignment.

The concepts and definitions adopted in the compilation of Hong Kong’s merchandise trade statistics are in conformity with the standards recommended by the United Nations in the International Merchandise Trade Statistics - Concepts and Definitions, Revision 2. The “general” system is adopted for compiling trade statistics.

  • Geographic coverage: Hong Kong’s trade with all countries/territories is included.
  • Conversion to unit of account: Any transaction value in foreign currency is converted to its Hong Kong dollar equivalent based on the exchange rates prevailing at the time of importation/exportation.
