Purpose and history
The statistics analyse the development in Denmark's trade in goods at a detailed commodity level (imports and exports) with the other Member States of the European Union.

The statistics were introduced at the beginning of the EC Single Market 1 January 1993. Previously, these flows of goods were analysed via customs and shipping documents reported by firms to the Customs and Tax Authorities (see declaration of contents for trade with non-EU-countries).

Description of Contents
The statistics show Denmark's imports and exports of goods from/to the other European Union countries, distributed among partner countries and approx. 10,000 different goods recorded by value, net weight in kilograms and/or supplementary unit. Furthermore, unit value and volume indices are published at a more aggregated level (SITC-chapters, but not distributed among partner countries).

Statistical Concepts
The statistics are prepared on the basis of reports from Danish companies with total annual imports and/or exports of goods of DKK 3.6m and DKK 4.8m, respectively. The obligation to report is established for imports and exports separately.

For each commodity flow (imports or exports) and month, the following statistical information is gathered:
  • Product code in accordance with the Combined Nomenclature CN
  • Partner country (imports=country of consignment, exports=country of destination)
  • Nature of transaction
  • Invoice value in Danish kroner (whole numbers)
  • Net weight in kilograms (whole numbers) and/or supplementary unit, e.g. litres, units (if indicated in CN).

The statistics are published at the most detailed level as sums of statistical value (estimated on the basis of the invoice value), net weight, and any supplementary unit for identical occurrences of product code and partner country, some types of transactions are, however, indicated separately (e.g. repair goods). Furthermore, quarterly unit value and volume indices are published at a more aggregated level (SITC-chapters, but not distributed among partner countries).

For each flow of goods (imports or exports), grouping is primarily made on commodity groups (e.g. all goods for which the first two digits are identical, i.e. the chapter level). For the grouping, different nomenclatures are used (KN, SITC rev. 3, BEC and KONJ).
