Glossary:COMEXT

From Statistics Explained

COMEXT is the Eurostat reference database for external trade. It contains both recent and historical data from the European Union (EU) Member States and a significant number of third countries covering the value of exports and imports of products. Data are available:

• by type of product (following the Statistical classification of products by activity (CPA)),
• by reporting Member State;
• by source and by destination.

COMEXT is updated on a daily basis.

EU data on external trade are compiled according to EU guidelines and may therefore differ from national data published by Member States.
