THE TOTAL IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF SWEDEN, j|
917
The General Export association of Sweden was founded in 1887 with a view
to prepare new or additional opportunities for a foreign market of Swedish
products and industrial commodities. It is constituted chiefly after an Austrian
model. For its ends, the association operates by giving free of charge
information of price-, credit-, and freight concerns, etc.; by arranging depots and small
exhibitions of Swedish products at certain important places; by distributing
catalogues abroad of suitable Swedish articles of export, and so forth. The
association also issues a periodical — Swedish Export —, in which at present the
annual reports of the Swedish-Norwegian consuls are published, as well as other
official informations concerning foreign trade and navigation. In this periodical
also is published a newly elaborated register Concerning Swedish export: firms,
adresses, specialities, etc.
Swedish Statistics of commerce— of old origin — is published by the Board
of Trade. Formerly, these reports were rather defective, but an improvement
concerning the arrangements took place in the edition of 1871, and many considerable
reforms have been brought about during the nineties at the same time as the emission
has got very much accelerated. Still further improvements are to be expected, first of
all with regard to valuation of goods, which still partly leaves a great deal to be
desired. On that point there has been made a proposal that the declarations of value
should be returned by the importers and the exporters themselves for each special lot
of goods (so-called declared values). — Besides this, the General Board of Customs
publishes monthly reports on the imports and exports of the Kingdom of more
important commodities.
