Notes:

A fuller historical series, back to 1985 for reporting countries, is available in the Supplementary tables section of this Statistical bulletin

Numbers are rounded to the nearest kg except for quantities less than 1 kg where more precise information is provided when available.

(6) 331.4 kg liquid heroine were also seized in 2009.

(7) In 2010 because of possible incompleteness and unknown unreliabilities figures were truncated by the WODC. Four police regions did not report about seizures. Figures include seizures by Customs and Military Police. Figures are a ‘reasonable estimation’. Also 253 heroin balls were seized.
