Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


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 May 2, 2024:
The provisional figures for February 2024 have been added. The provisional figures for July 2023 to September 2023, December 2023 and January 2024 have also been adjusted.

Changes as of November 22, 2023:
The figures for 2021 have been corrected. For this reporting year, some values (for the countries) were wrongly not settled. This has been fixed in this version.

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

Description topics

Border crossing goods; import
Goods that come to the Netherlands from abroad according to the method of physical border crossing.
Inbound transit value
The part of the import value that consists of goods that foreign companies and persons re-export from the Netherlands to abroad in an (almost) unprocessed state.

Please note: this concerns so-called quasi-transit, whereby goods do not cross the Netherlands exclusively for technical transport reasons. In most cases they are only in the Netherlands for customs declaration.
Border crossing goods; export
Goods that go abroad from the Netherlands according to the method of physical border crossing.
Outbound transit value
The part of the export value that consists of originally imported goods that foreign companies and persons re-export from the Netherlands to abroad in an (almost) unprocessed state.

Please note: this concerns so-called quasi-transit, whereby goods do not cross the Netherlands exclusively for technical transport reasons. In most cases they are only in the Netherlands for customs declaration.
