Regarding the volume of exports, there was a reduction in the amount of goods exported to USA, Europe, China and Latin America by about 100 to 400million tonnes per country. On the other hand, Asia Pacific and Australia experienced a marked rise in volume of goods imported, with 3 times as much as before. The “Other” zones remained fairly static at 350 million tonnes of goods between those 2 years. The total amount of exported goods had increased slightly from 17,150 in 2002 to 18,600 in 2012.
Furthermore, the percentage of tax that was imposed on the various countries seemed to vary in 2002 between 0% and 5% but by 2012 all countries were equally taxed with 2%, and countries who received high volume of exports generally taxed lesser than those with lesser volumes. For instance, Europe was taxed higher at 8% and Australia was taxed only 1% from 4%.
