Table explanation


Statistics Netherlands collects monthly data on imports and exports of goods. In this table on imports and exports of goods the change of ownership of the goods is decisive, not whether they crossed the Dutch border. The table comprises index figures and changes in terms of percentage of total imports and exports of goods, broken down by value, price and volume. The indices are based on 2015=100. The changes in terms of percentage are compared with the same period in the previous year.

Data available from: 1995 January

Status of the figures:
Data from 1995 up to and including 2020 are final. Data over 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 are provisional. Since this table has been discontinued, provisional data will not become final.

Changes as of July 17th 2024:
None. This table has been discontinued.
Statistics Netherlands has carried out a revision of the national accounts. The Dutch national accounts are recently revised. New statistical sources, methods and concepts are implemented in the national accounts, in order to align the picture of the Dutch economy with all underlying source data and international guidelines for the compilation of the national accounts. For further information see section 3.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable anymore.

Description topics

Indices
Index figures, base year 2015=100.

An index compares the value of a variable in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.
Value
Value index figures, base year 2015=100.

Although not necessarily so, in most cases imports and exports of goods will be accompanied by transport of these goods across the international border. The goods are valued at the exporter's customs border. For Dutch imports this means that the value of the imported goods includes transport and insurance costs to the exporter's border; for Dutch exports the value of the goods includes transport and insurance costs to the Dutch border.
Original
Original value index figures, base year 2015=100.

Not adjusted for differences in the number of working days.
Working day adjusted
Working day adjusted value index figures, base year 2015=100.

JDemetra+ is used to adjust the value and volume figures for differences in the number of working days. The method corrects for national holidays, leap days and the difference between weekdays and weekends.
Year-on-year change
Change compared to the same period in the previous year.

Change in a variable indicates the growth rate with respect to the same period of the previous year as a percentage. Statistics Netherlands calculates this on the basis of non-rounded figures.
Value
Value changes compared to the same period in the previous year.

Although not necessarily so, in most cases imports and exports of goods will be accompanied by transport of these goods across the international border. The goods are valued at the exporter's customs border. For Dutch imports this means that the value of the imported goods includes transport and insurance costs to the exporter's border; for Dutch exports the value of the goods includes transport and insurance costs to the Dutch border.
Original
Original value changes compared to the same period in the previous year.

Not adjusted for differences in the number of working days.
Working day adjusted
Working day adjusted value changes compared to the same period in the previous year.
