Sources and definitions
Trade: Ministry of Finance customs data, exports and imports. Trade balance is exports less imports. Export orders: Ministry of Economic Affairs total, ICT, electronics, chemicals, electrical and buyer regions. These are orders received, not customs exports. Source values in US$ million are converted to US dollars. Changes, shares and sums are computed from published values; figures are not seasonally adjusted. A 12-month sum requires all 12 months. Revisions are retained from first collection. Values may not add exactly because source values are rounded.
