Dataset is not available.
This table describes the export specialisation of Dutch exports using the Balassa index. A Balassa index higher than 1 indicates specialisation in a product. If the index is below 1, there is no specialisation in that product.
The table also shows the share of each product chapter of the Harmonized System in total Dutch exports. Furthermore, it shows both the share of products made in the Netherlands as the re-exports of this chapter.
Data available from: 1996.

Description topics
- The share of the commodities in this chapter in the exports of all commodities together.
- Distribution of exports
- Exports of Dutch products
- Exports of commodities produced or manufactured in the Netherlands.
- Re-exports
- Goods transported via the Netherlands, which are temporarily owned by a resident of the Netherlands, without any significant industrial processing.
Explanation
Re-exports include among other things commodities that are cleared through customs by Dutch distribution centres and are delivered to other countries (within Europe). Unlike transit trade, re-exports are part of Dutch imports and exports.
