- Method: For each EU reporter, HS4 product, partner country and flow, the value of August 2025 is compared with the month before and with the same month a year earlier. A missing month row counts as no recorded trade. Lists rank by the absolute change in EUR or by the percent change; aggregates (world, intra and extra EU) and confidential partners are left out, as are Peru and the Philippines.
