FOREIGN TRADE DATA ANALYTICS
Introduction
Merchandise foreign trade data are compiled on the basis of flows/movements of goods across the
custom frontiers of India by DGCI&S. The value of import is based on CIF, i.e. Cost, Insurance and
Freight whereas the value of export is on FOB (Free on Board). The foreign trade statistics are released
in three phases:
(i) Monthly Quick Estimates are released by fifteenth of the following month,
(ii) Principal Commodity level data is released within 30 days, and
(iii) Detailed 8-digit commodity level data are released within 60 days.
All these data are provisional and are dynamically revised till it is finalised on the basis of late receipt of
data. This Report contains analysis of these three categories of latest available data.
FETERS are used as input in compilation of balance of payments (BoP) for India and released by
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) within 45 days. The foreign trade in Services data are compiled from these
monthly RBI releases.
