From many sources we have data since 2007 in our database. Due to reasons of clarity and performance, we have made a basic segmentation: In "Market Intelligence" we have prepared the primary statistical import and export data from 2010 onwards. Updating a calendar year usually takes place in the middle of the following year by summarizing all reports of the reporting countries (for decades most countries of the world report categories of goods to UN Comtrade by HS codes. We are connected via an API with their databases where we process the data afterwards). In order to present the data as complete and accurate as possible, we have interpolated missing country reports by means of algorithms and extrapolated still pending reports which are visualized as a trend. These values are marked accordingly. In the sections for detailed analysis of commercial data e.g. "Company Transparency", we provide uniform standardized data of different databases as of 2013, because here actuality and above all, comparability of the data are most important. The preset time frame is visible in the upper left corner of the tools and can be adjusted according your needs. In the "Free Search" section you have general access to all data back to 2007, depending on the source. Please note that some country databases start as of 2013. Depending on the source, trade data are updated on a daily, monthly or quarterly basis. It cannot be precluded that in individual cases the data are delivered with delay. As a general rule, we will prepare and provide the data as quickly and as completely as possible. We must emphasize however, that we can not take any liability for the completeness of all trading data. All statistics, calculations and visualizations presented, are always based on data made available to us and do not represent all correlations in the total world trade.
