| Japan was the only other country manufacturing barbital in 1999, increasing its manufacture of the substance from 567 kg in 1998 to almost 2.8 tons. |
|
| The Republic of Korea reduced its imports of barbital from 9.8 tons in 1996 to 3.9 tons in 1997, also using barbital for the manufacture of non-psychotropic substances. |
|
| Preparations containing 400 kg of barbital magnesium remain in the stock of their manufacturer, whereas preparations containing 1,000 kg of barbital magnesium are exported to country B in three consignments. |
|
| Germany, the leading importer of barbital, decreased its imports of the substance gradually from more than 33 tons in 1997 to 10 tons in 2001, re-exporting almost all of those imports. |
|
| Whereas no imports of barbital were reported by the Republic of Korea in 1998, the country reported the import of 2 tons of the substance in 1999, exclusively for domestic use. |
