NOTES.

(1) In these Accounts, Imports for the current and the two previous years are

classified as received from the countries whence they were consigned to the United

Kingdom; not, as in the Accounts issued for periods prior to January 1909, as

received from the countries whence they were shipped direct to the United Kingdom.

The countries whence goods are consigned are not in all cases the countries of

actual origin of the goods, since goods produced in one country may be purchased

by a firm in another country and thence despatched, after a longer or shorter

interval, to the United Kingdom. In such a case the second country would be the

country of consignment to which the goods would be credited in these Accounts.

Exports for the current and the two previous years are credited to the country

of final destination as declared by exporters in their entries, whether that country

possesses a sea-board or not. In the Accounts issued for periods prior to January

1909, exports destined for countries which possess no sea-board, such as Switzerland

and the Transvaal, were credited to the country in which the port of discharge

was situated.

(2) Throughout these Accounts the expression United Kingdom is used to include

Great Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man.

(3) In the tables of Imports and Exports the term:-

British India includes the whole of India, except French and Portuguese

Possessions.

British East Indies includes British India, Straits Settlements (with the

Federated Malay States and Labuan) and Ceylon.

British South Africa includes the Union of South Africa (i.e., Cape of Good

Hope, Natal, Orange Free State, and Transvaal), and Rhodesia, Bechuanaland

Protectorate, Basutoland, and Swaziland.

Foreign West Africa includes German, French, Portuguese and Spanish

Possessions and Belgian Congo and Liberia.

Foreign East Africa includes German, French, Portuguese, and Italian

Possessions.

British West Africa includes Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, and

Nigeria.

British East Africa includes Zanzibar and Pemba, East Africa Protectorate,

Uganda Protectorate, and Nyasaland Protectorate.

(4) Goods in transit, whether on through Bill of Lading or otherwise, are included

in the tables of Imports and of Exports of Foreign and Colonial Merchandise.

except such goods as are removed under bond from the importing to the exporting

ship at the same or another Port. Accounts of these Transhipments under Bond

are given in Volume II. of the Annual Statement of Trade.
