HoweThe annual statement of overseas trade of the United Kingdom and the monthlyOverseas Trade Statistics give figures for each country of imports cif and exports fob, but the difference between these figures is not a precise measure of the visible trade balance because, inter alia, of the difference in the bases of valuation.
