Description

These statistics describe the import and export of goods rented for the minimum of one year (since 2005: for the minimum of two years).

Data content

These statistics specify by the CN categories the value of import goods rented to Finland and the value of exported goods rented from Finland. The value of the goods is recorded to these statistics, but not the rent or other compensation to be paid. Rental goods are recorded separately and not included in the trade statistics.

Data collecting method

Statistics on the import and export of rental goods are collected through Intrastat declarations regarding the EU Member States and through customs declarations regarding countries not in the EU.

Applied classifications

The compilation of statistics on commodities is based on the Combined Nomenclature CN of the EU. Export is recorded to the statistics by the countries of destination according to the FOB ("free on board") value and import by the countries of origin according to the CIF ("cost, insurance, and freight") value.
