About Yugalinks

Yugalinks turns published international import-export data into practical, reusable datasets and tools. We organize complex country, product, market, and corridor information so MSMEs, researchers, developers, and analysts can understand international commerce and use the data in real-world applications.

Our goal is to simplify international commerce and import-export analysis by making difficult-to-use data easier to explore, analyze, and apply. The underlying observations come from published sources; Yugalinks prepares them for clearer analysis while preserving source attribution and provider terms.

Dataset description

A route profile with country-pair, product, and context indicators.

• Start research on a specific exporter-importer relationship.
• Which countries, products, markets, or routes are most relevant?
• How do the available observations change across years?

How to read it

Each row represents the dataset topic at its published level of detail. Country codes use ISO3 notation, and product codes use the relevant HS level where applicable. A missing value means that the corresponding observation was not available in the published coverage.

At a glance

Item	Value
Records	829,299
Format	Parquet
Coverage	1995-2024 annual observations where available
Primary source	OECD BIMTS HS2017-6D
Pair context	CEPII attributes where documented in the columns

Construction and provenance

The reported country, product, year, quantity, and value observations are based primarily on the OECD Balanced International Merchandise Trade Statistics (BIMTS) HS2017-6D release. Some datasets include country-pair context such as distance, borders, or language relationships from CEPII reference data where documented.

Yugalinks organizes the observations into country, product, market, route, price, and risk views. Derived indicators support comparison and investigation; they are not guaranteed forecasts or recommendations.
