Data Passport
- Eurostat Comext DS-045409: monthly trade of the EU member states by partner country and product, EUR and net mass, months 2025-12, 2026-01 and 2025-01. Licence: Eurostat reuse policy, free reuse with attribution "Source: Eurostat" (© European Union). Record IDs: DS-045409:reporter:partner:product:flow:month. Source
- Method: For each EU reporter, HS4 product, partner country and flow, the value of January 2026 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.
Trade database built 2026-10-24. Values are official statistics as published; nothing on this page is estimated or invented. More in our methodology.
