CLASSIFICATIONS - Since July 1, 2001, to record exports/imports of commodities Ukrainian Classification of Commodities in Foreign Trade took its effect which is developed on the basis of the 6-digit Harmonized System for Description and Coding of Commodities (HS) and the 8-digit Combined Nomenclature of European Economic Commonwealth (CNEEC) dated 1996.

The Classification of the world's countries which are harmonized with international standard, ISO 3166- 1:2009, approved by order of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine No. 260 as of 08.07.2002 and currencies harmonized with international standard, ISO 4217:2001 and approved by order of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine No. 260 as of 08.07.2002
STATISTICAL VALUE OF COMMODIT - To ensure comparisons of data from statistics of foreign trade in goods, statistical value of commodities is identified: - for exported commodities at FOB prices;
- for imported commodities at SIF prices.
Value at FOB prices includes value of commodities and services for the delivery of products to the boarder of the exporter –country. Value at SIF prices includes value of commodities and services for delivery of products to the boarder of the exporter-country and value of services for delivery of products from the boarder of the exportercountry to the boarder of the importer-country. The terms of commodity deliveries used when compiling Ukraine statistics of foreign trade are identified according to International Rules for Treatment of Trading Terms (2010) that are applied in Ukraine. The statistical value is calculated through the conversion of value of commodities into the US dollars according to rate set by the National Bank of Ukraine for the day when the customs declaration was completed. For the commodities that are presented via statistical reports, the conversion of value of commodities into the US dollars is based on average monthly and average quarterly official rates for currencies fixed by the National Bank of Ukraine.
QUANTITATIVE RECORD OF COMMODITIES - The quantitative record of commodities is based on net weight, kilograms. If necessary, for collection and processing of statistical data, the parallel record of commodities is done by quantity expressed in additional units of measurement (pieces, liters, cubic liters, etc.). These units of measurement are indicated in the Classification line Additional unit of measurement.
PARTNER-COUNTRIES - In Ukraine statistics of foreign trade in goods, there are the following partner-countries:
- for exports – country of destination;
- for imports – country of origin.
The record of commodity exports is done by trading country if at the moment of commodity exports the country of destination is unknown.
The record of commodity imports is done by shipment country:
- commodities whose country of origin is unknown at the moment of shipment;
- re-imported commodities;
- commodities included in Group 97 of Ukrainian Classification of Commodities in Foreign Trade (art works, collection items, antique items);
- commodities received as human aid.
The country of destination is the last country to which (as far as it is known at the moment of exporting) the commodities should be delivered regardless of the country to which they have been shipped at the very beginning and whether they were or not were the subject of commercial and other transactions that change their legal status. When exporting, the trading country is the country where a person is registered or resides who is a partner of the national person when implementing the foreign economic agreement.
The country of origin is the country where the commodity has undergone full processing or was enough processed to satisfy the criteria or procedures set by Customs Code of Ukraine. The country of commodity origin could be a group of countries, customs unions of countries, a region or a part of the country if it is necessary to specify the commodity origin.
EXPORT VOLUMES - includes payments from non-residents for services provided (imports).
IMPORT VOLUMES - includes payment to non-resident for services received (imports).
DIRECT INVESTMENT ENTERPRISE - is an enterprise in which a foreign investor owns at least 10% of the value of the authorized capital of entrerprise.
EXPORT AND IMPORT OF SERVICES - Foreign economic services are the goods not subject to customs control for which no cargo customs declaration is issued. Services are not identified as material objects covered by property rights. Services sale and production are inseparable. The main fact in trade in services is there should be a sale and purchase transaction covering the activities of economic entities of Ukraine and foreign economic entities (residents and non-residents) built on interrelation between them taking place both within and outside the economic territory of Ukraine. Export volumes include proceeds from non-resident for services rendered (export). Import volumes include funds transfer to a non-resident for services received (import).

Moment of services accounting registration
The moment of carrying out of services export-import procedure is the date of their actual provision or receipt based on accrual principle (according to the invoices issued), the registration date for such operations most often coincides with the services production time. However, there are exceptions when the payments are transferred based on the results of each year, then the service registration time is recorded by the terms of payment under the certificates provided. Time of accounting may be related to such factors as contract signing term, payment term, term of payment obligation for the services. These dates do not always coincide with the accounting date. In these cases services are registered after the ownership right transfer, and when the service value is created, exchanged, transferred the posting is made in payment documents of the exporter and the importer.
Export (import) of services is registered at the moment of signing a foreign economic contract (agreement). This is a executed material agreement between two or more entities of foreign economic activity and their foreign contractors aimed at establishment, amendment or termination of their mutual rights and obligations in foreign economic activity. The moment of contract execution is the moment at which all obligations under the specified contract are assigned, including the issuance of bills of exchange or conclusion of loan agreements.

Data generation sources
Statistical surveys over the services volume are carried out by state statistics bodies by collecting statistical reporting from enterprises and organizations that carry out activities related to provision (export) of services to foreign partners and receipt (import) of services from foreign partners both within and outside the territory Ukraine according to the contracts (agreements) in compliance with the Ukrainian legislation.
EXPORT AND IMPORT OF SERVICES (CONTINUED) - Classifications
Services are accounted for in monetary terms (in the contract currency) according to the Classification of Services of Foreign Economic Activity (DK 012-97) developed based on the Classifier of Types of Economic Activity of the Statistical Commission of the European Union and approved by order of the State Committee of Ukraine for Technical Regulation and Consumer Policy No. 324 dated 02.06.1997. Currencies are classified according to Currencies Classification approved by order of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine No. 260 as of 08.07.2002, as countries classification Country classification approved by order of the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine No. 476 as of 28.12.2007 is used.
Services conversion in US dollars is based on the average quarterly official exchange rate established by the National Bank of Ukraine. According to statistical observation results with regard to external services, indicators of export-import operations in services of Ukraine with countries of the world for all types of services in accordance with the Classification of Services of Foreign Economic Activity are calculated.
