STAN Bilateral Trade Database: country coverage
BTD provides bilateral trade for all OECD Member countries and 61 partner countries and zones broken down by economic activity. In BTD, data are presented as follows:
  • by declaring country (the OECD country that supplies the information);
  • by partner country or area (the origin of imports or destination of exports);
  • by industry (the economic activity to which imported - or exported - goods are related, based upon standard international classification ISIC3).

  • Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta and Slovenia;
  • EU19 includes the previous 15 countries of the European Union and the 4 most recent EU Member countries that also belong to the OECD, namely the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and the Slovak Republic;
