The statistics of imports for oil products are calculated according to the data derived from the customs declarations. The status of the audited incomplete customs declarations, for April 2010, has been integrated in the compilation of the external trade statistics. The corresponding declarations for April 2011 have not been integrated yet, since they have not been finalized entirely, having as a result the lack of comparability of the external trade statistics data between April 2011 and April 2010.
