This video gives an example of how the data provided by the Trade Enquiry System could be used
See how you can select trade flow data, from imports and exports, and explore by individual countries, regions, or worldwide datasets.
- The data selection can be customised by market countries, viewing each country separately or by region, or include ports.
- The metals trade report can then be further personalised with product level selection at a 6-digit level, or even further for advanced users. Following this, you can identify market trends by splitting the results by year, quarter or month depending on which international trade flows you need to analyse, and by tonnes and value.
