1 14 External Trade Exports for 2012 were 92,009m, up 1% from 2011, while Imports were 49,024m, up 1.5%. This resulted in a Trade surplus of 42,985m up marginally (0.2%) from Chemicals and related products accounted for 60% ( 55,000m) of Ireland s exports in 2012 including Medical and pharmaceutical products ( 24,447m) and Organic chemicals ( 20,123m). The EU accounted for 54,262m (or 59%) of total exports in 2012, 15% destined for Great Britain and 15% to Belgium. The USA was the main destination for exports outside the EU accounting for 20% of exports. Between 2008 and 2012 exports to the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) grew by 8%. Between 2011 and 2012 imports of Chemical and related products decreased by 2% to 10,192m, while imports of Food and live animals increased by 11% to 5,549m. Nearly one-third (31%) of Ireland s imports in 2012 came from Great Britain.

3 Introduction This chapter contains information on Ireland s Goods Exports and Imports statistics which provide data on the movement of goods between countries. The statistics are a combination of Customs-based non-eu trade statistics and data from the Intrastat Survey of Irish traders involved in trade with other EU member states. Long term growth Between 1973 and 2012, exports at current prices grew from 1,104m to 92,009m while imports for the same period increased from 1,444m to 49,024m (Table 14.1). The resulting merchandise trade balance at current prices changed from a deficit of 340m in 1973 to a surplus of 42,985m in The volume of exports is estimated to have increased by a factor of twenty between 1973 and 2012 while import volumes for the same period increased by a factor of five. Trade by area Exports to the EU increased from 53,109m in 2004 to 54,262m in 2012 accounting for 59% of Ireland s goods export market. Exports to the USA increased from 16,556m in 2004 to 18,160m in 2012, accounting for 20% of total exports in The EU was also the significant market for the imports of goods into Ireland accounting for 60% of total trade in 2012, over half of which came from Great Britain (Table 14.3). Around 13% ( 6,397m) of Ireland s imports came from the USA, while imports from China were 2,860m (6%) in Trade by product Between 2004 and 2012, the share of Chemicals and related products in Ireland s export market increased from 37,492m (or 44%) in 2004 to 55,000m (or 60%) in 2012 (Table 14.4). Imports of Machinery and transport equipment were 12,486m (or 25%) in 2012 decreasing from 21,964m (or 43%) in 2004 (Table 14.5). Imports of Chemicals and related products increased from 7,140m (or 14%) in 2004 to 10,192m (or 21%) in Imports by main use The share of imports classified as materials for further production fell from 57% in 2004 to 52% in 2012 while Consumption goods ready for use increased from 26% to 32% in the same period (Tables and 14.11). Statistical Yearbook of Ireland 225

4 Technical Notes Scope of trade in goods data Ireland s trade in goods is compiled according to the general system of recording international trade whereby exports and imports are recorded at the time the goods cross the territorial boundaries of a country. This differs from the Balance of Payments definition of merchandise trade which records exports and imports only when a transfer of ownership occurs, ie when payment is received. Valuation For goods exports the fob (free on board) value is used. This is the cost of goods to the purchaser abroad up to the point where the goods are put on board the exporting vessel or aircraft or are conveyed to the land frontier. For goods imports the cif value (inclusive of cost, insurance and freight to the point of entry to the State) is used. This is normally the transaction value. Exclusions Certain classes of goods are excluded from the trade statistics. These include, in particular, transit trade, certain categories of temporary trade where the goods are returned to the original country without change of ownership and certain goods which are not the subject of a commercial transaction. Notes to the tables Tables and classify imports into main use categories - Producers capital goods ready for use; Consumption goods ready for use; and Materials for further production. These categories provide a reclassification of imports in terms of national accounts aggregates. 226 Statistical Yearbook of Ireland
