Overseas Merchandise Trade: July 2015

Number of working days There were 23 working days in both July 2015 and July 2014. Foreign currency conversions – July 2015 Import values are converted from foreign currencies when import documents are processed by New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS). We convert values given in foreign currencies into New Zealand dollars (NZD), using weekly exchange rates, when we compile the statistics. In July 2015, we converted 92,181 export line entries worth $3.2 billion into NZD. See Data source for more information on the use of exchange rates. Revisions We have updated provisional values published on 24 July 2015. Merchandise trade statistics for the latest three months are provisional so we can include late data and amendments. Trade data can be revised for many reasons. For more information see: Why overseas merchandise trade data can change. Investigating how overseas merchandise trade data can change after publication. en-NZ
