STAN Bilateral Trade Database by Industry and End-use category (BTDIxE) provides values of imports, exports, re-imports and re-exports of goods broken down by industrial sectors and by categories of end-use. BTDIxE was designed to extend the old BTD database which provided bilateral trade in goods by industry only.
BTDIxE allows, for example, insights into the patterns of trade in intermediate goods between countries to track global production networks and supply chains, and it helps to address policy issues such as trade in value added and trade in tasks.
The database presents estimates of bilateral flows of goods from 1990 to the latest available year (the latest year shown is subject to the availability of underlying product-based annual trade statistics).
Reporters are the OECD member countries and a large number of non-OECD economies, including the BRIICS: Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, Indonesia, People's Republic of China and South Africa; other selected G20 and Asian economies; and major African and Latin American nations.
It should be noted that starting from mid-2012, the OECD and the United Nations agreed to centralise the data collection and processing procedures within UNSD Comtrade.
The list of partners covers the OECD countries, more than a hundred of non-member economies as well as the partners "World", "Rest of the World" and "Unspecified". In BTDIXE, the partner "Total foreign trade" (coded TTX) corresponds to the flows with partner World excluding intra-country flows.
Trade flows are divided into economic activities based on the Revision 4 of ISIC and into nine end-use categories including capital goods, intermediate goods and household consumption.
Users are invited to send their comments, questions, or to report any apparent anomalies regarding this database to stan.contact@oecd.org mentioning BTDIxE in the title of their message.
BTDIXE is updated continually
Users should bear in mind that in BTDIxE, mirror flows often do not match between two countries. In other terms, the export values from country A to country B (reported by country A) may well not agree with the import values to country B from country A (reported by country B). Although asymmetries exist for almost all trade flows, the differences observed may be relatively small. In a few cases however, the discrepancy can be significant for some particular reporter-partner pairs.
More discussion about mirror statistics is available in the OECD Statistics Brief, October 2001.
BTDIxE data can be downloaded in the form of flat files from the OECD.STAT export menu: go to "Export" and "Related Files".
Values of traded goods are provided in thousands of current US dollars.
Imports are measured c.i.f and exports measured f.o.b.
End-use shares are expressed in percentage of total category for each industry.
