Note: Preliminary data for 2006
- Based on Standard Classification of Transported Goods (SCTG classification).
- Imports by trucks is overestimated. In the case of imports, the mode of transport represents the
last mode by which the cargo was transported to the port of clearance in Canada and is derived
from the cargo control documents of customs. This may not be the mode of transport by which the
cargo arrived at the Canadian port of entry in the case of inland clearance. This may, therefore,
lead to some underestimation of Canadian imports by the marine and air transport modes.
