STAN Bilateral Trade Database: industry coverage
The industry classification used in BTD is based upon ISIC Revision 3 (for more details on ISIC 3, see the United Nations' classification registry ) and covers 42 sectors among which:
  • non-manufacturing goods-producing sectors, such as agriculture and mining;
  • the two additional categories scrap metal and other that include goods which are not allocated to ISIC Rev.3 activities;
  • special industry groups that enable to break down manufactures according to a technology classification (see Annex1 of the publication OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2003);
  • and a sector representing information and communication technology manufactures (ICT).

Grand Total represents the total trade as given in the product-based tables from the OECD International Trade by Commodity Statistics database.

Further notes on BTD industry list can be found in the full documentation, accessible from the file summary menu.
