Overseas merchandise trade datasets

The datasets below contain all 10-digit Harmonised System (HS) codes traded in the specific month. They support the relevant monthly overseas merchandise trade information release, as well as the data already available on Infoshare. 

If all you need is a selection of HS codes and/or country information, we recommend you use Infoshare for your data, rather than these very large datasets.

Two datasets are available for each month, firstly HS10 values, followed by HS10 by country values. Each dataset is available for both imports and exports.

Annual confidentiality review

The annual confidential review occurs in September of each year, and may result in confidentiality being lifted from selected HS codes for historical data. All files here will be updated when this occurs and this will be reflected in the date updated field.

We recommend that all users of overseas merchandise trade data should download and replace all the files in September, after the annual confidentiality review.
