Foreign trade - exports and imports of goods

The graph shows the Swedish import of goods from five large countries of consignment, monthly data, millions of SEK in current prices.
The trend estimate smoothes out random variations in the seasonally adjusted figures.

The statistics about the Swedish foreign trade with other EU countries are missing information about the country of origin. As a consequence the information about partner country on imports is equal to the country of consignment in the Swedish foreign trade in goods statistics. Commodities which originate from a non-EU country but are imported to EU (properly EC) via another EU country get this EU country as the country of consignment in the Swedish import statistics. Therefore one may claim that the information about the Swedish import from EU is overestimated.
