List Of Countries By Exports Per Capita

This is a list of countries by exports per capita. The list includes sovereign states and self-governing dependent territories based upon the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. The following tables shows the per capita value of total, merchandise and service exports, expressed in United States dollars (current prices), according to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), World Trade Organization, and World Bank.

International merchandise trade measures the value of goods which add or subtract from the stock of material resources of an economy by entering or leaving its territory. The value of exports is recorded as the free-on-board value (FOB).

In the following tables, two trade systems are shown: the General Trade System and the Special Trade System. The General Trade System is used when the statistical territory of a compiling country coincides with its economic territory. Consequently, exports include all goods leaving the economic territory of a compiling country. The Special Trade System is used when the statistical territory comprises only a particular part of the economic territory within which goods may be disposed without customs restriction (free circulation area). Exports include all goods leaving the free circulation area. However, goods entering and goods leaving an industrial free zone are not recorded since they have not been cleared through customs for home use. The products processed in free zones are also excluded from exports.

Countries and territories using the special trade system are: Algeria; American Samoa; Andorra; Angola; Argentina; Armenia; Austria; Belgium; Belgium-Luxembourg; Benin; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Botswana; Brunei Darussalam; Bulgaria; Burundi; Cameroon; Central African Republic; Chad; Chile; Comoros; Congo; Costa Rica; Côte d'Ivoire; Croatia; Cuba; Cyprus; Czech Republic; Dem.

Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition - BPM6 (paragraph 10.8) explains services and its distinction from goods as follows: "Services are the result of a production activity that changes the conditions of the consuming units, or facilitates the exchange of products or financial assets. Services are not generally separate items over which ownership rights can be established and cannot generally be separated from their production. However, €¦some knowledge-capturing products, such as computer software and other intellectual property products, may be traded separately from their production, like goods. In the balance of payments goods and services account, the valuation of goods includes transport within the exporting economy as well as wholesale and retail services indistinguishably in the price of the goods. Furthermore, the value of some service items includes the values of some goods, in the cases of travel, construction, and government goods and services n.i.e. Some services, particularly manufacturing services, repairs, and freight transport, also relate to goods."

Totals of international trade presented in the following tables are not strictly comparable. Discrepancies arise due to the use of different complementary sources. The trade figures of groups of economies are the sums of the trade values of the component individual economies.
