¹The figures are marked with the symbol *. This is Statistics Norways standard symbol for indicating preliminary figures.
²Due to the data collection method, the preliminary monthly figures published for ships and oil platforms are often incomplete. In retrospect, therefore, the trade in these goods could in some cases lead to major corrections in the figures. Please see tables 2-4 for the impact these figures have on the external trade.
