Given are two tables containing data on seven sections of the world including USA, Europe, China, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Australasia, and others importing goods from a port in Holland named Rotterdam. The information includes tonnage of goods and the percentage of tax implemented in 2002 and 2012.
Overall, it can be seen that imposed tax and exportation have almost a reverse relationship, because the net import had rose dramatically in those sections that experienced a fall in terms of tax percentage. However, USA was showcasing an exception.
USA, Europe, China, and, Latin America starting from 4200, 6900, 2400, and 1800 respectively, were 4 parts that experienced a fall in importations from Holland during the decade. Although these 4 sections contain made up the majority of data in 2002, it’s obvious that the reduction that happened hadn’t vastly affect the total exportation by Holland, because all the mentioned sections had fall less than 500 millions of tonnes. Moreover, Asia Pacific and Australasia initially stood at 800 and 700, both had almost tripled over the 10-year period. The information shows that ‘others’ section reflected a constant number in both exports and taxes.
Considering the second chart, Europe and Asia Pacific had the most imposed tax rate in comparison to others in the first year, both had witnessed 3% of changes, first one had an increasing pattern, reached the highest of others, and, the second one had a fall. The changes in percentage in other categories were generally an under-2% increase, except in Australasia which decreased 3%.
