3.1. Data description | |||
BiH international trade in goods statistics measure the value and quantity of goods traded between BiH and other countries. |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Product classification |
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics cover all goods entering (imports) or leaving (exports) the statistical territories of BiH. The statistical territory of BiH corresponds to its customs territory. |
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Product – Goods are primarily classified by commodity code as set out in the Customs Tariff of BiH (in line with EU Combined Nomenclature). TIC data are compiled on the basis of a correspondence table enabling the transposition of detailed data collected according to the Customs Tariff of BiH into the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). Before 2022, Extrastat legislation required the following SITC groups to be disseminated: SITC0T4A (SITC sections 0 to 4), SITC5T8A (SITC sections 5 to 8) and SITC33 (SITC division 33). The new European Business Statistics (EBS) Regulation requires SITC sections 0 to 9, as well as division 33, to be disseminated individually.
|
|||

7.1. Confidentiality - policy | |||
Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 on European statistics (recital 24 and Article 20 (4)) stipulates the need to establish common principles and guidelines ensuring the confidentiality of data used for the production of European statistics and the access to those confidential data with due account for techical developments and the requirements of users in a democratic society. As a general definition, data used by national and EU authorities for producing statistics are considered confidential if statistical units can be identified, either directly or indirectly, and information about individuals or businesses is disclosed as a result. Law on Statistics of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of BiH 26/04 and 42/04 - Chapter XI - Article 23.-29.) establishes the principle of confidentiality as one of the main principles. |
|||
7.2. Confidentiality - data treatment | |||
BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency data are not detailed enough to make it possible to identify a specific trader. Therefore no specific data treatment applies. |

12.1. Relevance - User Needs | |||
Data by invoicing currency can be used for instance to explore the use of the euro, the U. S. dollar and the BiH convertible mark in the BiH's international trade in goods. These statistics are very useful to BiH Central Bank, for comparing the BiH convertible mark with other international currencies. These data are also used by financial market segments or foreign investors. |
|||
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction | |||
One of the key elements in securing the quality of statistical data is monitoring the users’ satisfaction. |
|||
12.3. Completeness | |||
Data completness rate (R1) for users is 100%. All key indicators, required by EU legislation and international standards for international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics, are disseminated. |
|||
12.3.1. Data completeness - rate | |||
Data completness rate (R1) for producers is 100%. All key indicators, required by EU legislation and international standards for international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics, are produced. |
|
|||
13.1. Accuracy - overall | |||
TIC data accuracy depends mainly on the accuracy of single administrative documents (customs declarations). Data accuracy is at a satisfactory level. Since the basic data consist of a large number of single administrative documents (customs declarations), it is difficult to achieve the absolute accuracy of disseminated data. |
|||
13.2. Sampling error | |||
BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics are not collected via samples and so are not impacted by sampling errors. BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency data are obtained from administrative source (Indirect Taxation Authority - Customs). |
|||
13.2.1. Sampling error - indicators | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
13.3. Non-sampling error | |||
The accuracy of TIC data is primarily impacted by issues in the collection and production of international trade in goods statistics combined with issues in the reporting of the invoicing currency by the legal or natural person when lodging a single administrative document (customs declaration). |
|||
13.3.1. Coverage error | |||
Coverage errors do not exist. All single adiministrative documents (customs declarations) i.e. transactions are processed. |
|||
13.3.1.1. Over-coverage - rate | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
13.3.1.2. Common units - proportion | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
13.3.2. Measurement error | |||
Mesurement errors can arise while inputing data i.e. inputing and submitting single administrative documents (customs declarations). |
|||
13.3.3. Non response error | |||
BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency data are not collected via survey, so non-response errors do not exist. |
|||
13.3.3.1. Unit non-response - rate | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
13.3.3.2. Item non-response - rate | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
13.3.4. Processing error | |||
During the data processing, the Agency for Statistics of BiH performs validity checks on data from single administrative documents (customs declarations). A data validity error is detected when a data entry is not correct, therefore data cannot be included in the statistical analysis and so they must be removed or corrected. Examples of such errors are incorrect or missing codes, missing values in the single administrative documents (customs declarations), character data in numeric field and vice versa. Also, some data passing the validity checks can still be incorrect. Residual errors can be found by looking for variable inconsistencies. For example, the single administrative document (customs declaration) is internally inconsistent when comparing different variables, or it is not consistent with the data submitted in the previous months. |
|||
13.3.5. Model assumption error | |||
A model is not used for production of BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics. |

15.1. Comparability - geographical | |||
BiH international trade in goods statistics and BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics follow EU legislation and Eurostat's recommendations regarding concepts and definitions. From a methodological point of view, this ensures the comparability across countries. |
|||
15.1.1. Asymmetry for mirror flow statistics - coefficient | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.2. Comparability - over time | |||
Changes due to definitions, classifications, coverage or methods will have an impact on the continuity of the time series. The most significant change came with the recent Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 on European business statistics. |
|||
15.2.1. Length of comparable time series | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.3. Coherence - cross domain | |||
Apart from the TIC dataset, information on trade flows can be found in the detailed BiH international trade in goods statistics. The intra-domain checks carried out before any data dissemination ensure the coherence between the trade values published in the TIC dataset and trade values coming from detailed international trade in goods statistics. |
|||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | |||
Not applicable. |
|||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||
The internal coherence of the TIC dataset is ensured by the intra-dataset checks carried out before any data dissemination. |
|
|||
Regarding the costs of production of BiH international trade in goods statistics, BiH international trade in goods by enterprise characteristics statistics, BiH international trade in goods by invoicing currency statistics and BiH export and import unit value indices, two persons work full time in the Department for International Trade Statistics. Help from IT sector is also necessary. |
