Imports/exports; change of ownership; volume and price, changes

Statistics Netherlands collects monthly data on imports and exports of goods. In this table on imports and exports of goods the change of ownership of the goods is decisive, not whether they crossed the Dutch border. The table comprises index figures and changes in terms of percentage of total imports and exports of goods, broken down by value, price and volume. The indices are based on 2015=100. The changes in terms of percentage are compared with the same period in the previous year.

Data available from: 1995 January

Status of the figures: Data from 1995 up to and including 2020 are final. Data over 2021, 2022 and 2023 are provisional.

Changes as of 14 November 2023: Data over September 2023 have been added. Data over July and August 2023 have been adjusted.

As of January 2022, the data observation and processing of the International trade in goods statistics has been renewed. As a result, the development of imports and exports compared to a year earlier is surrounded by greater uncertainty than usual.

Import and export figures may be adjusted as new or updated source information from the monthly international trade statistics and producer prices becomes available. In addition, the figures are adjusted retrospectively to fit those of imports and exports of goods in the quarterly National Accounts and the annual National Accounts. A complete revision of the National Accounts is carried out once every five years.

When will new figures be published? Six to seven weeks after the end of the month under review.
