METHODOLOGICAL NOTES

The compilation of balance of payments, among other, is based on the principle of residence, where the non-
resident is an individual, company or organization whose headquarters are located outside the territory of
Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Inward/outward processing of goods includes changing of the physical characteristics of goods (processing, assembly,
labelling, packaging and other processing activities) undertaken by a company which is not the owner of the goods and
which has not paid for the imported goods (raw materials, production materials). The owner of the goods remains a
non-resident who pays the fee for the services of the processing of goods to the resident company (in BH), without
change of the ownership of the goods taking place.

Activities that are usually organized as inward/outward processing are: oil refining, liquefaction of natural gas,
production of clothes, production of footwear, electronics assembly, assembly (excluding assembly of
prefabricated structures that are included in construction), labelling and packing of goods (excluding the
services of temporary packing of goods for the sole purpose of protection during the transportation and
repacking services which are included in transportation services) etc.

Data on the imports/exports of goods and the performed inward/outward processing services are recorded
when they occur and not in moment of payment. If the precise amounts of transactions are not known, please
provide your best estimate.
