Click to collapse Unit of measure used

All figures are expressed in value (in €).
The quantities (unit or weight) are available solely for the most detailed level (NC8).

Click to collapse Population and scope
Click to collapse Product coverage

Figures on imports and exports of some 9,500 products from or to about 250 countries are retrieved, on a monthly basis for the preceding three years and on a quarterly and yearly basis for the preceding five years.

Click to collapse Concepts and Classifications
Click to collapse Key statistical concept

The figures are compiled according to the Community concept for Belgium and according to the national concept for Belgium and the regions. The Community concept applies for all cross-border movements of goods, including purchases (imports) and sales (re-exports) in Belgium between non-resident businesses. The national concept, on the other hand, refers solely to cross-border movements of goods involving a resident business as counterparty.
