The given two tables compare the quantity of exports which were transported through Rotterdam port in Holland to global six countries and the level of imposed tax rate on these goods over a decade. The units are measured in millions of tonnes and percentage. Overall, it can be seen that despite some countries decreasing slightly in exports, the total exports increase.
According to the first table, the final amount of exports increased, reaching 18600 million tonnes by 2012. Europe made the largest gap destination; declined from 6900 million to 6400 million. The second highest was the USA which dropped significantly from 4200 million to 3900 million. Following that, China moderately declined one in ten and Latin America dropped from 1800 to 1500 million. The other zones remained stable at 350 million tonnes. By contrast, Asia Pacific and Australasia jumped more than tripled, hitting 2550 and 2300 million respectively.
Regarding taxation, in spite of the USA, Asia Pacific and Australasia mildly reduced tax rates, others were increased gradually. In the USA, China and Latin America reached 2% and Europe rose from 5% to 8%. The other tax zones remained static at 2%. Asia Pacific and Australasia reduced taxes from 5% to 2% in the former and from 4% to 1% in the latter.
