Hi, Im looking at your statistical data on Mining and Manufacturing industry/Energy and was wondering what your definition of "shipment quantity" is. I did see someone asked a similar question and received an answer but that answer was very broad. This is the definition I found "The producer shipment index shows sales activities of producers and shipment trends in Mining, Manufacturing and Electricity, Gas and Water Supply industries. Shipment volume and value of establishments are compiled. Shipment includes ① domestically produced or purchased products that are shipped to domestic vendors, other establishments, institutions, organizations or consumers / products that are shipped to be used as part of export products to other establishments ② products that are exported directly to overseas markets or indirectly via other exporters / products that are shipped to foreign troops in Korea or duty-free shops and ③ products that are shipped to another factory in the same company that produces the same survey product / products that are shipped as gifts or samples / products that are shipped for exhibitions, product packaging, equipment maintenance, etc." In this case is there a main difference between export quantity and shipment quantity? Thanks for your help,

Dear Malaika, Thank you for visiting the KOSIS website. ‘Shipment’ includes all items shipped from an establishment to the outside (domestic and overseas). ‘Shipment’ is divided into ① domestic shipment, ② export shipment and ③‘shipment to the another business unit within the same establishment or others’. Please refer to the definition of respective sub-categories of ‘Shipment’ of the previous answer. Thank you.
