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 September 1, 2023:
The provisional figures for June 2023 have been added. The provisional figures for April 2023 and May 2023 have been adjusted.

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

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.

Export value of Dutch product
The part of the export value that consists of goods made in the Netherlands.
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.

- After a method break, the annual changes in comparison with the previous year are missing;
- Due to technical reasons, the annual changes for 2022 are missing. However, the reporting years 2021 and 2022 are methodologically comparable.
