Definition and source
Publisher-native merchandise trade balance with world (TRADE_FLOW=TB), in current-price exchange-rate-converted USD billions. Services and current-account balances are excluded. No export/import subtraction, currency conversion or scaling is applied by SOTW. National customs coverage and export/import valuation conventions can differ; detailed national exceptions are not supplied in this CSV. Do not equate this measure with national balance-of-payments or goods-and-services headline balances. NSA and calendar-plus-seasonally adjusted (SCA) are distinct identities. Generic OECD EA/EU identities retain their source membership convention. Source flags and all dimensions are retained; collection time does not establish original publisher release time. Not offered as a file download.
