Commercialized Quantity vs. Statistical Quantity: what is the difference and where to find them?
It is common to confuse the different types of "quantities" presented in NCM Intel reports. To find the correct data, understand the rule below:
1. Statistical Quantity (Operations Tab)
In the Operations report or tab, the available column is the Statistical Quantity.
-
What it is: it is the standard unit of measure required by Customs for that HS Code (usually KG or Unit).
-
Availability: high (mandatory data in official documents).
-
Attention: it is not possible to view "Commercialized Quantity" (e.g., boxes, pallets) in this tab.
2. Probable Commercialized Measure (Products Tab)
If you need to know the actual sales volume (commercial packaging), you must access the Products report or tab.
-
What it is: it is the Probable Commercialized Measure. It estimates the goods volume in the specific unit of measure of the product (e.g., boxes of 12 units, drums, pieces), being the value closest to the actual negotiated practice.
-
Availability: variable coverage (intelligence data generated by algorithms, may not be available for all records).
Summary:
-
To view KG/Net Weight: go to Operations.
-
To view commercial packaging/probable measure: go to Products.
