1 Traders may export to both EU and non-EU countries. Therefore, the sum of companies exporting to EU and non-EU countries will not add up to the total number of exporting companies in table 4b(i).

2 The figures exclude traders that cannot be allocated to regions.

3 See Definitions for an explanation of how the Intrastat threshold affects counts of traders within the European Union.
