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 May 2, 2025:
The provisional figures for February 2025 have been added. The provisional figures for December 2024, January 2025 and July 2024 to September 2024 have also been adjusted.

Changes as of December 12, 2024:
The figures for 2022 have been corrected. The figures for 2023 have been adjusted. For these years, the export value of Dutch products was overestimated 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.
