7. 7 CorpLox Read customs data carefully Important boundaries for interpreting the numbers Recorded exports are not the same as domestic production. Recorded imports are not the same as final consumption. HS2 sectors are broad product classifications, not individual technologies or firms. Customs data does not establish buyer-supplier relationships between companies. Source records may be revised; use methodology notes when comparing periods.
