Notes: |
|
(1) |
Retained imports refer to those imported
goods which are retained for use in Hong Kong rather than
being re-exported to other places. The value of retained imports
is derived by subtracting the estimated import value of re-exports
from the value of imports. The former is obtained by removing
an estimated re-export margin from the value of re-exports. |
