Foreign trade – exports and imports of goods

Upcoming publishing: 2021-07-27

The statistics cover Sweden's foreign trade in goods broken down by country and type of goods classification. The combined nomenclature (CN) provides the most detailed level, with 9 400 goods groups. SITC and SPIN refer to more general goods classification.

As from the publication of the first quarter of 2021, the volume indices for goods exports and good imports will be published on a monthly basis, in addition to the current quarterly and yearly publications. In connection with the introduction of the monthly index, a method adjustment will be implemented in the production of the quarterly and the annual indices. The quarterly and the annual indices will be calculated based on aggregated monthly values, in the same way as the annual index is currently comprised of an aggregate of quarterly values. The method adjustment means that the calculation will be based on the monthly exports and imports indices, rather than, as previously, an average of the three-month price index. Information about "Chande Volume Index"

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union has led to the replacement of the former EU28 group in the country tables for foreign trade in goods with the EU27_2020 group. This change applies to country tables with data reported as from January 2020. The cutoff point is January 2020, rather than the actual withdrawal month February 2020, since the values in the tables are based on accumulated periods starting from January. However, the table on monthly data for foreign trade in goods net trade balance uses February 2020 as the break in the time series. In this table, the United Kingdom belongs to the group Other countries as from February 2020.

These changes were introduced in the tables in question in connection with the publication on 26 March.
