Geography

International trade in goods

Transformations

Monthly values summed over the period by CK Economics. Total trade (imports + exports), balance (exports − imports), shares, ranks, regional totals and year-on-year changes calculated by CK Economics

Revisions

When Census publishes a new month, CK re-collects the previous 12; older months are re-collected after Census’s annual revision each June, or sooner if Census’s totals for them change. Revised figures replace earlier ones.

Data status

Each month passes CK’s release checks (complete, totals reconcile with Census’s, no sharp jumps) before it is published.

Limitations

Goods only, not services. General imports at customs value, total exports at f.a.s. value.
