Customs Data Sources – The Good
• Tracks movements of goods across borders
• Cost effective data collection
• Comprehensive data source
• Consistent data source internationally
Project Name: HMRC v1.8 | 12/02/2007 | 5
Customs Data Sources – The Bad
• Customs frameworks do not promote Trade Statistics requirementsCustoms primary focus is collecting duty and safeguarding the
movement of restricted or dangerous goods
• The Customs declaration is a small part of a complex supply chain
Paperwork can be inaccurate - is the person making the declaration the one with the best knowledge of the goods?
• More identifiers are needed for analysis to reflect Globalisation (e.g. Intra-firm, Processing & Repair)

The Challenge for Trade Statistics
Exploiting administrative sources is most cost effective data collection - it is burdensome to build new data collections.
• Identify the real data requirement
• Get involved in Customs Developments
