- The partner country is the one the United States reports for the shipment. Country names follow common English usage; the CSV keeps the Comtrade name and code.
- Periods
- Annual totals for 2023 to 2025, and January to August totals for 2025 and 2026, the latest month published when the data was retrieved.
