Higher taxa discrepancies in reporting

Taxon/term/unit combinations for trade reported at higher taxonomic levels, which met discrepancy criteria, are summarised below.

Table E.1. Taxon/term/unit combinations meeting discrepancy criteria on the basis of exporter-reported data exceeding importer-reported data for trade recorded at higher taxonomic levels, by source*, 2003-2012.

*Wild-sourced trade includes trade reported as ‘W’, ‘U’ and no source specified; captive-produced trade includes trade reported as source codes ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘D’, and ‘F’. **Main exporter according to trade reported by exporters. For list of ISO code definitions see Glossary.

Table E.2. Taxon/term/unit combinations meeting discrepancy criteria on the basis of importer-reported data exceeding exporter-reported data for trade recorded at higher taxonomic levels, 2003-2012. All trade was in live specimens reported as captive-produced (sources ‘A’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘F’). No wild-sourced trade reported at the higher taxon level met the discrepancy criteria.
