Date of Release: February 2016

December 2015


Introduction This publication presents statistics on the value of non-oil foreign merchandise trade, which entered or

exited the territory of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through the ports of Abu Dhabi (comprising air, sea and

road ports) in 2015 and December 2014-2015. It should be noted that foreign trade data presented in

this publication do not cover non-oil exports and imports through ports of the other Emirates in the UAE.

The data have been sourced from the Abu Dhabi Department of Finance – Customs Administration,

and the scope of the statistics therefore is restricted to the trade flows recorded at ports under the

jurisdiction of the Customs Administration. The publication highlights the relative importance of each

individual component of imports, non-oil exports and re-exports.

The data are presented according to the Broad Economic Categories (BEC), the Harmonised System

(HS) chapters and by country for total imports, non-oil exports and re-exports.

The Explanatory Notes section at the end of this publication defines the key terms and technical

concepts used in the compilation of non-oil foreign merchandise trade statistics. Readers are

encouraged to refer to that section while reading the statistics and information outlined in the

publication.

152.3 billion in 2014 to AED 169.5 billion in 2015. This was mainly a result of a 63.7% increase in non-

increased by 10.9%, while re-exports fell by 26.1% to AED 18.7 billion in 2015 from AED 25.3 billion in

2014.

Total trade increased by 7.6% in December 2015 compared with December 2014 due to growth in non-

oil exports by 76.9% and imports by 4.6%, while re-exports decreased by 31.3% in December 2015

compared with December 2014.

Explanatory Notes Glossary This publication contains certain terms specific to foreign merchandise trade and necessary when

analyzing the trade statistics of Abu Dhabi Emirate. They include the following terms:

Merchandise Trade Foreign Merchandise Trade statistics record goods, which add to or subtract from the stock of material

resources of Abu Dhabi by entering or leaving its territory. Throughout this publication, the term

merchandise trade statistics refers to trade which moves through the ports of Abu Dhabi only, and do

not capture inter-emirate trade activity.

Imports Imports are goods that enter Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic district from various parts of the world,

excluding other emirates in the United Arab Emirates, and receive customs clearance. Goods are

considered imports regardless of whether they enter the Emirate directly or are retrieved from customs

warehouses, temporary entry areas or free zones inside the country. These goods receive customs

clearance in order to become part of Abu Dhabi’s merchandise balance.

Re-exports Re-exports represent goods that are imported from abroad, enter Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic

district and become part of the Emirate’s merchandise balance. These goods are then re-exported as

they are, without any modification, outside the country.

Non-oil Exports Non-oil exports include goods that are entirely produced locally or in whose production process local

resources are used. Non-oil exports through the ports of Abu Dhabi may include goods that were

produced in other Emirates in the United Arab Emirates. Oil is excluded from these goods. These goods

leave Abu Dhabi’s customs and economic district to the outside world, reducing the Emirate’s non-oil

merchandise trade deficit.

Classifications The non-oil foreign merchandise trade statistics are presented in accordance with the two main

internationally recommended output classifications: Harmonized System (HS) and Broad Economic

Categories (BEC).

If users require statistics by the detailed Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS),

these are available from SCAD on request. The HS is primarily an input classification, and is the basis

on which traders record goods with Customs.


Data source Data are obtained from Department of Finance – Customs Administration. The data are processed and

passed to Statistic Centre – Abu Dhabi for further editing, compilation and reclassified according to

statistical classifications for foreign trade.

Valuation In line with the World Customs Organization (WCO) agreement on valuation:

Exports (including re-exports) are valued free on board (fob), which represents the value at the

export border, and includes inland freight costs and packaging

Imports are valued on the cost insurance and freight (c.i.f.) basis, which represents the value at

the import border, and includes the additional cost of freight and insurance in transporting the

goods internationally

Notes on Tables

Changes (levels and %) in all tables are based on unrounded numbers.

Relative importance is calculated as the ratio between the value of the sub-group and the total

value for all groups, expressed as a percentage.

Totals in some tables may not add up due to rounding.

The data for 2015 are preliminary, and may be revised.

Symbols used ‘-‘ nil or rounded to zero

‘..’ not applicable

n.e.s. denotes ‘not elsewhere specified’
