Domestic exports refer to exports of Singapore origin and comprise of:- a. Primary commodities grown or produced in Singapore; and b. Goods which have been transformed, that is, manufactured, assembled or processed in Singapore, including those with imported materials or parts.

Re-exports refer to all goods which are exported from Singapore in the same form as they have been imported without any transformation. Re-packing, splitting into lots, sorting or grading, marking and the like are not considered as undergoing the process of transformation.

The “Registration area” covers the whole of the Republic of Singapore – meaning it includes the free trade zone. Under the "Coverage" section, it states that the "general" system of recording trade statistics is adopted in Singapore. Under this system all goods imported into or exported from Singapore with the exception of goods specified in Paragraph 3 under Glossary are covered meaning it includes re-export since it is part of our export.

Singapore Trade Statistics are released on the 17th of every month or on the nearest working day (Mon-Fri) if this falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday. Figures on StatLink are updated monthly upon the release of Singapore's trade figures.

Yes but only when 8 digit HS (Harmonized System) Codes and 7 digit SITC (Standard International Trade Classification) codes are used to extract data from Statlink. These are the highest product-specific codes.

Since volume comes in different denominations (viz litre, kilogramme, tonne, square metre, etc), it is not possible to generate the volume in other categories of HS/ SITC codes as they comprise of “grouping” of commodities involving various units of measurement.

StatLink is a subscription-based online service that allows customers to obtain the latest figures on Singapore's bilateral trade or generate reports based on their specific research requirements. It is a comprehensive, detailed search in both HS and SITC classifications with the ability to consolidate data in a single report available in excel and pdf.

Data on Singapore's external trade is available according to 2, 4, 6 & 8 digit Harmonised System (HS) codes or in 1, 2, 3 & 7 digit SITC codes. The smaller the number, it refers to highly "grouped" products without quantity. Quantity will only be available when an HS 8 or SITC 7 digit code is selected.

The service is provided via our Statlink on-line system (a subscription-based service).

Some points to note about the various report types are as follow:

1. "Common Search"

   These reports have pre-configured fields and provide the following data:

   • Top products traded between Singapore and selected country/market
   • Top countries/markets trading with Singapore for selected product
   • Top countries/markets trading within a selected product group
   • Breakdown of countries/markets within a regional grouping trading for a selected product
   • Monthly Oil Statistics
   
   
2. "Report Generation"

   This section generates reports without any pre-configured fields so selections can be made across all fields (product type, country/market, trade type and trade period)

3. "List of available reports"

   This is a list of popular reports with all pre-configured fields, available for download.

Data is ranked by dollar value/ quantity under the latest period for annual, cumulative, quarter on quarter and month on month reports. For quarterly and monthly reports, they are ranked based on the summation of all the values and quantities in the columns.

The figure shown is the total trade for the specific product for the rest of the countries/markets in the world which are not listed in the report.

The Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) and Harmonized System (HS) are two different trade classifications, the main difference being that the SITC is focused more on the economic functions of products at various stages of development, whereas the HS deals with a precise breakdown of the products' individual categories.

The SITC was developed by the United Nations with the intention of classifying traded products not only on the basis of their material and physical properties, but also according to which stage of processing, as well as their economic functions, in order to facilitate economic analysis. The SITC was originally developed for statistical purposes and it has to maintain a correlation with the tariff nomenclature (classification) seeing as customs declarations are the principal source of trade data. The SITC has undergone four revisions to maintain consistency with the development of tariff nomenclatures. The SITC Rev.4 was adopted in 2007 and maintains the basic 10-section structure of the previous editions.

The HS was introduced in 1988, and has since then become an internationally accepted method of classification wherever products are traded. The HS classification is "harmonized" in relation to the classifications of the United Nations and the European Communities. Goods are classified according to simple objective criteria and applications. The HS is a revision of the CCCN (Customs Cooperation Council Nomenclature), a 1974 classification system. The current version of HS codes were revised in 2022 and represents goods identified by a six-digit code. Most of the countries/markets that have adopted HS have added one or more digits to further classify products of particular national interest. The pattern of arrangement of goods in the HS is in the increasing degree of manufacture: raw materials, unworked products, semi-finished products.

Enterprise Singapore is unable to provide any assistance to you on your request for retained imports and re-export margins because internally we do not estimate retained imports or re-export margins by SITC or HS classifications.

Condensates, also known as gas condensates, under 27090020 cover only crude oils obtained during the stabilization of natural gas immediately upon its extraction.
