Summary:
This is set of interactive tables covering trade reported by Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS 1988, 1996, 2002, 2007), and Standard International Trade Classification system (SITC) (Revision 2 & 3). Also there is a table based on ICT (information and communications technology) codes. ICT goods are those that are either intended to fulfil the function of information processing and communication by electronic means, including transmission and display, OR which use electronic processing to detect, measure and/or record physical phenomena, or to control a physical process.
Trade data is available via both the SourceOECD interface and the more current OECD.Stat interface. Values are reported in current U.S. $ and both interfaces provide tables with conversion factors to other other currencies.

Harmonized System
Using the OECD.Stat interface, tables for individual countries that provide detailed data for commodity flow (imports/exports) in quantity and value (thousand U.S. dollars) between an OECD country and over 280 different partner countries. Data can be retrieved at the 2, 4, or 6 digit level of HS code. Data based on HS88 or HS96 are available back to 2003; data based on HS02 data are available back to 2002; HS07 data are available back to 2007.
For earlier years use the SourceOECD interface. Data can be retreived for HS96 from 1996 forward (though not as current as the OECD.Stat data) and for HS88 for years 1990-2000.

SITC System
Using the OECD.Stat interface, tables provide detailed data for commodity flow (imports/exports) in quantity and value (thousand U.S. dollars) between an OECD country and over 300 different partner countries. Data can be retrieved at all levels of SITC (1 digit, 2, 3 or 4). Data based on either SITC rev2 and rev3 start with year 2003.
For earlier years use the SourceOECD interface. Data based on SITC rev3 is available for 1988 forward (though not as current as the OECD.Stat data) and data based on SITC rev2 is available for years 1961-1990.

ICT Tables
These tables value (thousand U.S. dollars) data for commodity flow (imports/exports) between an OECD country and the world based on detailed ICT codes. Coverage starts with 2000.
