Data Processing
Cleaning Operations
After receiving the trade bills, enthes are made in the control register and the bills are sorted out according to the date and type of trade. After sorting the documents are bound in the form of a book which is known as batc. Each batch consists of 50-60 bills covering the bills of a particular date. The batches are distributed among the coders for, coding the information. The basic information, such as commodity specified by type, quantity of each commodity according to units prescribed in the HS, value, import origin and export destination and other relevant information are coded, checked and edited properly on the documents. When coding work is completed, the value is taped from the documents. Batch totals are entered in the control register for subsquent matching with computer totals. The batches are then sent for capturing data into diskettes.
Though most tabulations are made following Harmonized commodity description and coding system, however some selected tabulations are also made on the basis of category of goods by different exporting or importing accounts. Selected monthly tables are published in the Monthly Statistical Bulletin and other annual and monthly publications of BBS. Unless otherwise stated Foreign Trade Statistics are published on fiscal year basis i.e. July 1 to June 30.
