Table explanation


In this table, the Dutch import and export value according to change of ownership are classified by the sections, divisions and groups 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 December 4, 2025:
The provisional figures for the month of September 2025 have been added. The months of July 2025 and August 2025 have also been adjusted.

Changes as of November 26, 2025:
The figures for 2015 up and until 2023 have been corrected. The figures for 2024 and 2025 have been adjusted. For these years, the value of goods not physically imported in the Netherlands was overestimated due to a technical error. Because the import value for goods of the SITC sections 3 and 9 was overestimated by the same amount, the total import value remains unchanged. The previous has been fixed in this version.

Changes as of December 12, 2024:
The figures for 2022 have been corrected. For this reporting year, the export value to Spain was underestimated due to a technical error. This has been fixed in this version.

When will new figures be published?
New figures become available about two months after a reporting month.
