Note(s):
Data used for culture goods trade tabulations are revised by the International Trade Division of Statistics Canada, on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. Due to these ongoing quality improvements, data in this table may differ from data found in previous published versions. Due to changes in the Harmonized System of Classification in 2007, there is a break in series for video and sound recording. Some sound recording activity may be found in the video data. China - unlike previous publications, includes mainland China only.
