The recorded values are calculated according to information supplied by Exchange Committees and merchants. Those of imports include the invoice price, freight, packing, and insurance, but not duty ; those of exports give the price free on board in Norwegian port, excluding freight and insurance, but including packing and Norwegian commercial profit. The returns of quantities are compiled from the officially controlled declarations of importers and exporters. These declarations stated prior to 1909 the countries from which 'the articles were directly imported and to which they were directly exported. An article coming, for example, from the East Indies via London was recorded as coming from England. From January 1, 1909, the declarations state the countries from which the articles are bought and to which they are sold. The recorded imports include all articles imported, whether for consumption inland or for re-exportation.' The exports are divided into exports of Norwegian articles (special trade) exports of foreign- articles. A considerable part of the export trade on railway over the land frontier from Norway to Sweden escaped the statistical control in the past, but from January 1, 1909, it has been recorded.
