Interviewer instructions

Theft, breakage or spoilage for direct export. The purpose of this question is to determine the extent of losses that stem from theft, breakage or spoilage as goods are transported for export, independently of whether the cost is borne by the establishment or a third party that is hired to transport the goods.

Consignment value is the value paid when goods are delivered to the receiver.
Theft refers to robbery that occurred outside the premises of the establishment.

Breakage refers to the inoperability or usability of the good. A broken good is inoperable or unusable in its current state.
