Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


In this table, the Dutch import, (re)export value and trade balance according to change of ownership are classified by the sections of the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). The data is broken down further by continents and countries according to the Geonomenclature (GEONOM).

Data available from: January 2015.

Status of the figures:
The figures on international trade in goods are provisional for a longer period of time, as they can be adjusted on the basis of new or current source information. The provisional figures become revised provisional in the fourth quarter after a reporting year. The revised provisional figures will become definitive in the fourth quarter of the following year.

Changes as of March 6, 2023:
The provisional figures from January to March 2022 and October to December 2022 have been adjusted.

Changes as of February 13, 2023:
The figures for the years 2015 up to and including 2020 have been corrected. For these years, bunkering, warehouse and transit trade were wrongly excluded. This has been fixed in this version.

When will new figures be published?
