Where is trade
actually recorded?
Research country and product flows using UN Comtrade. Keep partner, year and classification together so comparisons mean something.
Try India · World · HS 1006 · Exports · 2024. Availability depends on the reporting country, year and classification. An empty result does not mean no trade occurred.
Compare reporting countries
Compare the selected flow against World for the same product, year and previous year. Choose up to three countries. For a demand comparison, select Imports above. This is a statistical comparison, not an order forecast.
Statistics answer a different question.
Reported imports or exports show recorded trade for a product classification and period. They do not identify current buyers or establish a supplier price. HS groups can contain products with very different specifications.

Use trade research to shortlist a market for further investigation. Check its official import requirements, request a product-specific quotation and calculate the costs for your own route.
