* Refers to members not reporting trade data to UN COMTrade nor TIPS.
** SADC Combined refers to the combined trade of reporting members i.e. the combined total trade for the 10 members currently reporting trade data to the TIPS database.
Namibia: Partner queries: "High Sea", "Congo Brazzaville", "Korea" and "The Islands"
Some worksheets may also include "imports from various countries", "goods changing warehouses" and "export processing zones"
The database is available in two forms:
- The web version, which currently has about 1000 users, including the SADC Secretariat, academics, civil servants and students throughout the region, is the most up to date.
- The offline version is cut onto CDs, which TIPS researchers distribute when they conduct training sessions in countries with poor internet access.
