Definitions and coverage

Read the numbers with context

Clear definitions keep reported observations and calculated indicators in their proper context. Read our Responsible AI principles ↗

Reported values

Trade values describe reported merchandise trade for the HS2 classification. They are not company-level sales, retail quotes, or shipment records.

Calculated indicators

Growth, concentration, volatility, and peak comparisons are calculated from reported observations and should be read with their coverage period.

Missing data

A missing observation remains unavailable. It is not filled, interpolated, or presented as a forecast.
