Overview
Abstract
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) was created under the Republic Act no.10625, the merging of the four (4) major statistical agencies namely: National Statistics Office (NSO); National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB); Bureau of Agricultural Statistics (BAS); and Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics (BLES). It is engaged in the primary data collection and compilation of secondary data. Hence, became the sole agency to compile the foreign trade statistics in the country.

The Philippines adopted the "General" trade system of recording foreign trade statistics. The customs frontier (not the national boundary) was used as the statistical frontier. Under this system, all goods entering any of the seaports or airports of entry of the Philippines properly cleared through customs or remaining or under customs control are considered imports, whether the goods are for direct consumption, for merchandising, for warehousing or further processing. On the other hand, all goods leaving the country, which are properly cleared through the Customs, were considered exports. However, a distinction was made between export for goods grown, mined or manufactured in the Philippines (domestic exports) and exports of imported goods that did not undergo physical and/or chemical transformation in the Philippines (re-exports).

The collected data on import and export documents will generate economic statistics needed to guide both government and the private sectors in policy making, business planning and development. Specifically, the foreign trade data are used as a component in computing the Balance of Payment (BOP) prepared by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP); an input in estimating the National Accounts (NA) by the PSA-Macroeconomic Accounts Service (formerly the National Statistical Coordination Board); and an input in research study by public and private entities both local and international.
