This file contains the latest monthly statistics on total merchandise exports and imports, collected by the WTO Secretariat for some 70 countries and economies, for the period January 2006 to the most recent available month.
The statistical data in this publication are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant statistical authorities.
The use of such data by the WTO is without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, or to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries.
Data are not seasonally adjusted. They refer to the available statistics that comply most with the agreed international standards set forth in the UN's International Merchandise Trade Statistics, Concepts and Definitions, Rev. 2
Exports are valued fob and imports cif, unless otherwise indicated.
No adjustment is made for missing countries. The totals given refer to the unadjusted aggregate of 70 economies for which the Secretariat compiles monthly statistics. They account for about 90% of world trade. Due to the
lack of data trade flows of fuel and commodity exporters in Africa and the Middle East are not covered.
Data sources
Data are sourced from national statistical agencies' official websites. Statistics of the member States of the European Union are sourced from Eurostat' online database.
See the detailed list of sources
Additional Sources:
- International Monetary Fund, International Financial Statistics
When statistics are not directly disseminated in terms of US dollars, they are converted using the period average exchange rates disseminated within the IMF's International Financial Statistics
If unavailable for the most recent period, exchange rates produced by the Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis are used.
Statistics for the European Union and its member States are converted using Eurostat exchange rates.
Other than conversion to US dollars, the WTO Secretariat does not adjust the data nor produces monthly estimates.
For the sake of timeliness however, a country's most recent data might exceptionally be produced on the basis of trade developments observed in another statistical series disseminated earlier (for instance, by applying the
monthly percentage change of FOB imports if CIF values are not yet available).
