Changes by date

Upcoming data changes

  • In January 2012, we introduced a revised classification based on the tariff for overseas trade statistics, Harmonised System 2012 (HS2012).
    This major five-yearly review ensures the classification remains current with international trade patterns, as well as environmental and social issues of global concern.
    To help minimise any impact of these revisions, we are keen to find out if you have any requirements that would help you manage the change.
    Please contact us at Overseastrade@stats.govt.nz  if you have any questions or want to be added to our email list for receiving progress updates.
  • The February 2011 earthquake in Christchurch has affected the release date of some of our information releases. Check the updated schedule in the release calendar.
  • Information about data changes for Auckland Council: Changes to Auckland’s local government came into effect on 1 November 2010. For information on how Statistics New Zealand is managing data affected by the council restructure, please visit www.stats.govt.nz/aucklandcouncil. We will add details in the 'Changes by date' below when Infoshare is affected.
  • Industry data changes under the ANZSIC 2006 classification: The timetable for the next update is listed under ANZSIC06 Release dates.

Details of the series changed will be added to the calendar below before the data is released.
