Glob­al trade data col­lec­ted in one place

What can you find in WTO Data?

Extensive trade statistics from the World Trade Organization (WTO), which sets global rules for trade and cooperation between countries. You have access to official figures on global trade in goods and services, customs duties, export and import flows between countries and regions, and you can explore global trade patterns, follow developments in international trade policy and retrieve data for your own analyses, assignments or research projects.

WTO Data includes several key databases with statistics and analyses on trade in goods and services, customs duties and other trade-related areas under the WTO.

Here are some examples of databases:
