Trade Data Online

Trade Data Online is a database of Canada-wide trade information available through Canada Business Services. Sourced from both Statistics Canada and the U.S. Census Bureau, visitors to the website can search for data by commodity (according to the Harmonized System (HS) code), industry (using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes) and geographical location.

Trade Data Online enables users to:

• access the volume of internationally traded goods in Canadian import and export markets;
• find new export markets;
• determine the level of competition for specific products;
• identify domestic opportunities for import replacement; and
• gain insight into the Canadian domestic market for industries in the manufacturing sector.

More specifically, Trade Data Online includes data on 200 countries for over 5000 commodities. Reports are available using the most recent ten complete years and current year-to-date data. Monthly details are also available for the last two years. Information is available on imports, exports, trade balances, manufacturing shipments, apparent domestic markets and export intensities of Canadian industries.

Information is presented to users in a report and/or graphic format and can be printed, bookmarked or copied to a work file. With free registration online, frequent users can also avail themselves of advanced features that allow them to create, edit and run personalized reports individually or in batch.
