India EXIM Trade Data — Public Sample

Source: refdatum.com — cleaned, versioned India Exim (DGFT Tradestat) trade statistics. Last updated: 2026-07 Full release rows: 1,383,224 Sample rows (this dataset): 13,992 — a fixed preview of 12 countries only (AE, AU, BD, CN, DE, GB, JP, MY, NL, SA, SG, US), ≤5% of rows for those countries (capped at 50,000), last 2 fiscal years Fiscal years covered (full release): 2024-25, 2025-26 Countries covered (full release): 233 — this sample intentionally covers only 12 of them; the full dataset covers every trading-partner country

What is this?

India's official country × commodity export/import statistics from DGFT Tradestat, cleaned and versioned. This is annual data — DGFT Tradestat publishes one release per fiscal year covering all trading partner countries, not a monthly time series.

Each row is one HS-code × country × flow-type × fiscal-year combination, with the official reported value.

This sample is intentionally limited so it demonstrates data quality without substituting for the paid product:

• Only 12 of ~233 trading-partner countries are included (AE, AU, BD, CN, DE, GB, JP, MY, NL, SA, SG, US)
• Exact year-on-year growth is replaced with a coarse growth_trend bucket (Strong growth / Growth / Flat / Decline) — the full dataset has the precise pct_growth % for every country

What this dataset does NOT contain: shipper or consignee (company) names. DGFT Tradestat is a country-commodity aggregate — there is no shipment-level or entity-level detail in the source. If you need "who is importing/exporting what," that's a different (and much more expensive) category of data provider.
