About Yugalinks

Yugalinks turns published international import-export data into practical, reusable datasets and tools. We organize complex country, product, market, and corridor information so MSMEs, researchers, developers, and analysts can understand international commerce and use the data in real-world applications.

Our goal is to simplify international commerce and import-export analysis by making difficult-to-use data easier to explore, analyze, and apply. The underlying observations come from published sources; Yugalinks prepares them for clearer analysis while preserving source attribution and provider terms.

Dataset description

Annual exports, imports, balance, partner counts, and active products by country and HS4 product group.

What this dataset helps answer

• —Which product groups matter for a country?
• —How do exports and imports compare?
• —How broad is the partner base?
• —How many HS6 products are active?

How to read a row

One country, HS4 product group, and year.

Key fields include: year, country_iso3, hs4, exports_usd, imports_usd, trade_balance_usd, export_partner_count, import_partner_count, active_hs6_count.

At a glance

Construction and provenance

Reported country, product, year, quantity, and value observations are sourced from the OECD Balanced International Merchandise Trade Statistics (BIMTS) HS2017-6D release. Where the dataset contains country-pair context such as distance, borders, or language relationships, those attributes are sourced from CEPII reference data where documented.

Yugalinks organizes these observations into analysis-ready country, product, market, route, price, and risk views. Calculated indicators are derived from the reported observations and supporting reference fields. They are intended for comparison and investigation, not as guaranteed forecasts or recommendations.

Interpretation notes

Balance is exports minus imports for the represented country-product-year combination. HS4 is a broad product grouping.
