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 ↗

01

Reported values

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

02

Calculated indicators

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

03

Missing data

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