Please note that import figures used for this statistical release are those (mirror statistics) provided by the Trade Statistics Section of Statistics New Zealand (SNZ). Domestic exports and re-export figures were extracted from Niue Customs records, Niue Numismatic records, records from Niue Bulk Fuel. Records collected of goods carried by passengers when travelling as informal trade is not included in this year’s analysis.
Statistics Niue continue to use the mirror data for reporting of imports. In using mirror data there are certain limitations to it. Users are therefore asked to note the limitations of the data and use with due care.
