Trade Map — International Trade Centre Bilateral Trade Statistics

Trade Map is the International Trade Centre's bilateral merchandise trade statistics service — ITC being the joint agency of the WTO and the United Nations. It tracks goods moving between roughly 220 reporting territories at HS 2, 4 and 6-digit levels, carrying values, quantities, unit values, balances, tariffs and multi-year growth for about 5,300 HS6 products. For apparel, accessories and luxury goods teams, that is nine full chapters of trade intelligence — knitted clothing, woven clothing, home textiles and used clothing, footwear, headgear, umbrellas, feathers and artificial flowers, leather goods, and precious metals and jewellery — with partner-level breakdowns on every corridor. Annual series generally run from 2001 forward, and 2025 observations were already on file during our August 2026 research. Get a sample of this dataset and see a real corridor before you commit a budget line to it.

Here are live rows, unretouched. One indicator snapshot for a US import corridor, then two yearly series and one partner-summed total for Chinese export corridors:

Three of those rows carry one blunt conclusion: China's woven-clothing exports peaked in 2022 at 76,874,394 thousand USD and have fallen every year since, while footwear traced the same arc from a 62,020,064 thousand USD high to 46,179,279 in 2025. Rows arrive shaped like this — no cleaning pass required on your side.

Every record names who traded what with whom, for how much, in what quantity, in which year. Eight fields carry most of the analytical weight; indicator families layer on top of them.

Additional fields on request: applied-tariff readings (TAR), potential-trade estimates (POT), five- and two-year growth in value and quantity (GV5, GQ5, GV2, GQ2), world-share and rank indicators (S, SPC, SPW, SW, RK), concentration and distance measures (CON, CONP, DIST, DISTP), and per-corridor provenance records naming the national agency behind each series.

Geographic reach sits near the ceiling of what bilateral trade statistics can offer: about 220 reporting territories, each broken out by partner. Temporal depth runs from 2001 to the latest published year — 2025 rows existed during our August 2026 research — with quarterly and monthly series for many reporters. Granularity is bilateral and product-deep: HS 2-digit chapters down to 6-digit lines, served as indicator snapshots or as year-by-year series.

Apparel-relevant chapters run wide as well as deep: HS 61 and 62 for knitted and woven garments, HS 63 for home textiles, HS 64 for footwear, HS 65 for headgear, HS 66 for umbrellas, HS 67 for feathers and artificial flowers, HS 42 for leather goods and HS 71 for precious metals and jewellery.

Samples ship the moment you ask. Production feeds follow the same rule — pick a shape and a cadence, and the corridor keeps arriving:

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly.

Same fields either way. You choose the destination; we keep the plumbing warm.

Sourcing and procurement leads benchmark prices. Unit values turn a customs aggregate into a negotiable number: US imports of HS 610910 cotton t-shirts averaged about 11,690 dollars per ton in 2025, and the same calculation works for any corridor you buy from.

Strategy teams detect corridor shifts early. The Chinese knitwear series above is the canonical case — a 17% slide from the 2022 peak to 2025 — and partner-level rows show exactly which destinations absorbed the difference.

Market analysts size and rank markets. Share-of-world and rank indicators place any importer or exporter on the board for every HS line, and potential-trade estimates flag corridors trading below their weight.

Quants screen growth. Five- and two-year growth indicators on value and quantity make an entire chapter screenable in one pass.

The personas this serves best: competitive-intel product teams, data scientists, investors and quants and developers and builders working in this industry.

• A tariff blank means no record, not zero duty. Corridors with no tariff record return an empty TAR reading; treat absence as absence of evidence and verify duties elsewhere.
• Headline counts are provider positioning. The ~220-territory, ~5,300-product figures come from ITC's own materials; confirm depth on your actual corridors before the number reaches a boardroom.
• Provenance rides along. Every series attributes itself — US merchandise rows, for instance, are collected under the US Census Bureau.
• Reported and mirrored flows disagree. The same bilateral flow reads differently depending on which side declares it; pick one convention and audit against it consistently.
