    Unit value of Wire of iron/non-alloy steel, plated/coated with zinc, Fw: Trademap Query. Code 721720; Malaysia 2007

    I have however, spotted some odd data in the category:
     
    List of importing markets from Organisation for Economic Co-operation
    and Development (OECD) for a product exported by Malaysia
    Product : 721720 Wire of iron or non-alloy steel, zinc plated/coated".

    That shows unit values varying from USD$4.40 and US$59 per tonne,
    whereas the world and other is US$241 to US$1,123 per tonne.
     
    I think there are some errors in the Australian data in particular.
    Would you look into that please

    > For example, the exports of Malaysian 7217.20 to World calculates to

    > value divided by 223,494,812kg), but Australia calculates to US$58.
    > 86 per tonne or US 6 cents per kg (this is from US$6,089,260 value
    > divided by 103,425,592kg).

    > In fact the whole data set is wrong, as the unit value per tonne
    > will actually be somewhere around US$900 per tonne or more – a fact
    > I am sure about as we make that particular galvanized wire product 7217.20

    > Is it possible for the correct Malaysian 7217.20 export data to be found?
