Table explanation


In this table, the Dutch import, (re)export and incoming and outgoing transit value according to border crossing 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 April 2, 2026:
The provisional figures for January 2026 have been added. The provisional figures for April 2025 to June 2025, November 2025 and December 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, it was possible for the annual change of the export value to be unjustly accounted for as annual change of the import value. The previous has been fixed in this version.

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