                The statistics in the above
                table are derived by re-grouping the merchandise
                domestic export items (except gold and specie)
                under the Standard International Trade
                Classification, Revision 3 according to the
                industries in which these merchandise items are
                normally produced. Owing to the change in trade
                classification, the above statistics may not be
                strictly comparable with those published for
                earlier years. |
