EXPLANATORY TEXT

Introduction

Republic Act 10625 otherwise known as the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013 enacted on September 12, 2013, merged four statistical agencies, namely, the National Statistics Office (NSO), the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES), and the Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS) and shall be known as the PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY (PSA). One of the functions of the PSA stated under Section 6 of RA 10625 is to ³prepare and conduct statistical sample surveys on all aspects of socioeconomic life including agriculture, industry, trade, finance, prices and marketing information, income and expenditure, education, health, culture and social situations as well as the government and the political sector for the use of the government and the public; Also, under Section 13 of RA 10625, the Sectoral Statistics Office shall: (a) Provide technical staff support to the PSA in the areas of agriculture, natural resources, agrarian reform, mining and quarrying, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water, energy, construction, foreign and domestic trade, services, science and technology, finance, investment, population, women and gender, health, nutrition, education, labor and employment, social welfare, governance, public order and justice. In 1973, the former National Statistics Office became the sole agency to compile foreign trade statistics. Prior to this period, the Central Bank of the Philippines (now known as Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) also compiled and released foreign trade data. However, the differences in the concepts used by these two agencies resulted to a conflicting foreign trade data. This led to an agreement that made NSO the sole compiler of the official foreign trade statistics. The Philippines adopts the "General" trade system of recording foreign trade statistics. The customs frontier (not the national boundary) is used as the statistical frontier. Under this system, all goods entering any of the seaports or airports of entry of the Philippines properly cleared through customs or remaining or under customs control are considered imports, whether the goods are for direct consumption, for merchandising, for warehousing or further processing. On the other hand, all goods leaving the country, which are properly cleared through the Customs, are considered exports. A distinction however, is made between export for goods grown, mined or manufactured in the Philippines (domestic exports) and exports of imported goods that do not undergo physical and or chemical transformation in the Philippines (re-exports).

Coverage

The foreign trade data contained in this report relates to commerce between the Philippines and other countries by sea or air whether for private or government use or for commercial purposes, gifts or samples. It also includes animals for the zoo, for x breeding and the like. However, the following classes of goods are excluded in the compiled foreign trade statistics: a. Fish and other marine products landed by Philippine vessel direct from the sea b. Goods imported and exported by, or on behalf of diplomatic services and armed forces c. Exposed cinematographic films imported or exported on rental basis d. Personal effects of passenger on which no duty was paid e. Issued currency notes and coins f. Goods in transit to foreign countries g. Stores and fuels purchased abroad by ships and aircrafts of Philippine registry and h. Goods sent through parcel post. Since 1982, goods are considered imported or exported on the date the carrying vessel or aircraft arrives or departs at the port or airport of unloading or loading. The coverage of the annual publication is usually higher than the sum of monthly coverage, since it includes data from the documents, which arrived late for inclusion in their respective months. Monthly figures in this publication, however, include these corrections.

Sources of Information

Foreign trade statistics are compiled by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) from copies of import and export documents submitted to the Bureau of Customs (BOC) by importers and exporters or their authorized representatives as required by law. Imported articles of commercial nature with dutiable value of two thousand pesos and above are cleared on formal import entry (BOC Import Entry & Internal Revenue Declaration -Form No. 236). Those with dutiable value of two thousand pesos or less and personal and household effects, are cleared on an informal import entry (Informal Import Declaration and Entry - BC Form No. 177) whenever duty, tax or charges are collectible. Effective 1980, EPZA Import Tally (Form No. 8102) are used for clearing importations intended for Export Processing Zones. However, the Customs- EPZA Warehousing Entry (BC Form No. 242 - CEWE) which was implemented in 14 October

1991 revoked the use of the EPZA Import Tally. However, from early 1996 to the

present, EPZA forms were renamed as PEZA (Philippine Economic Zone Authority) forms after the name of the agency. Another source of import data used for clearance of cargoes is the Single Administrative Document (SAD), an electronic copy of the IEIRD. This is an on-line xi submission of import documents either by brokers or companies in lieu of the manual filling-up of documents. The sources of export data, on the other hand, are Export Permit (CB-ED Form No. 102R), Export Declaration (ED) with and without Foreign Exchange Proceeds (CBP

6-21-02 and CBP 6-21-04, respectively) and PEZA Export Tally (PEZA Form No. 8104).

The first form is used by Board of Investments (BOI)-registered exporters, the second form by general exporters and the last form by exporters located inside the Export Processing Zones. Effective 1 October 1991, the Revised Export Declaration was implemented which can be used by all kinds of exporters including general, BOI registered and PEZA registered exporters. Starting 30 July 1996, this form was then implemented under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) from the Central Bank (CB) of the Philippines. Other sources of export data are the General System of Preferences (GSP Form A), ASEAN Common Effective Preferential Tariff Scheme (Form D), ASEAN-CHINA Free Trade Area Preferential Tariff (Form E), ASEAN - KOREA Free Trade Area Preferential Tariff (Form AK), Agreement Between Japan and the Republic of the Philippines for an Economic Partnership (Form JP) and Agreement Establishing the ASEAN - AUSTRALIA - NEW ZEALAND Free Trade Area (Form AANZFTA/AANZ). These documents are issued by the Bureau of Customs to exporters whose products are eligible for preferential tariff treatment. Monthly reports of selected electronic companies were also used as sources of export data. In addition, the Special Permit to Load (SPL) was used for those selected companies without corresponding export document. Starting in 2003, the Automated Export Documentation System (AEDS), a paperless recording of export transaction at the ECOZONES covering semiconductor and electronic shipments loaded at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was included in the compilation of export statistics. This is due to the Joint Memorandum Order (JMO) No. 02-2002 section 3.9, which VWDWHVWKDW³LQOLHXRISURYLGLQJWKH162 SURFHVVHGRQDPRQWKO\EDVLVWRWKHVHJRYHUQPHQWDJHQFLHV´ The PSA collects this electronic files every 15th day of the month and integrates them to the PSA database system. In addition to NAIA, all transactions that pass through AEDS in Subic and Mactan were also included in the compilation of export statistics starting in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Revision in the import figures were done for the years 2000 to 2004. The revision on import statistics was based on the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Committee on Trade. The committee is composed of representatives from the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), NSO, PEZA, BOC and DTI-Export Development Council (EDC) and Bureau of Export Trade Promotion (BETP). The NSCB Executive xii Board approved the recommended methodology last May 8, 2005 through NSCB Resolution No. 8 Series of 2005 entitled "Interim Methodology for the Revision of Electronics Import Statistics". However, starting in 2006, import figures were adjusted based on the transactions that pass through the Automated Cargo Operating System (ACOS) of the BOC. Moreover, beginning March 2010, adjustments on import figures were based on the transactions that pass though the e2m (electronic to mobile) customs system; a system implemented through the BOC e-Customs Project. Through internet-based and wireless technologies, the e-Customs Project intends to streamline imports and exports processing and improve trade facilitation among BOC, other government agencies and its stakeholders anywhere, anytime - all towards the realization of the National and ASEAN

Single Windows.

Commodity Classification

The 2004 Philippine Standard Commodity Classification (PSCC) is used in compiling foreign trade data starting with July 2006. This is in compliance with NSCB Standard CRPPRGLW\ &ODVVLILFDWLRQ´ E\ DOO FRQFHUQHG JRYHUQPHQW DJHQFLHV DQG instrumentalists. The commodities are classified in accordance with the 1993 Philippine Standard Commodity Classification Revised 2 (1993 PSCC Rev. 2), a classification scheme that is aligned with the United Nations Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), and the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System of the Philippines, otherwise known as Harmonized System of the Philippines (HSP) from 1999 to 2006. However, in July 2006, all commodities are both classified in accordance with the 1993 Philippine Standard Commodity Classification Revised 2 (1993 PSCC Rev. 2) and with the 2004 Philippine Standard Commodity Classification (2004 PSCC) groupings.
