Measurement Manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others Credit Debit -Goods for processing in reporting economy – Inward Processing Goods received Goods returned -Goods for processing abroad – Outward Processing Goods sent Value of manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others should be collected from enterprise data at detailed level, net recording method (processing fee) Current method: gross recording method as the difference of processed goods Data from both methods should be cross - checked (manufacturing services is not necessarily equal to the difference in goods sent abroad and returned after processing, but should be broadly in line)
Data source Customs database (inward and outward processing) System declarations codes = the nature of the goods transaction. Inward and outward processing defined as customs procedures. Goods for processing are exempt from certain taxes. Four digits - first two digits, on-going procedure - last two digits, previous procedure Favorable tariff treatment - 41- goods for processing under drawback system - 51- goods for processing under suspension system Time limit

Calculation of processing fee in BoP Manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others Credit (3141+3151) - (5100+5171+5178+4100+4171+4178) Debit 6121 Goods for processing in reporting economy 3141+3151 5100+5171+5178+4100+4171+4178 -Goods for processing abroad 2100+2151 6121+2100+2151 Outward processing-In the customs declaration is declared the service fee to the goods, not the value of the goods
