Economic Disruptions to the Global Economy and Trade

We have witnessed a dramatic fall in the value of the dollar, a surge in oil prices, and the worldwide financial fallout resulting from the collapse of the sub-prime mortgage market.

• Mandatory Electronic Filing of Export Declaration Information – Impact on Data Collection and Statistical Outputs
