Weekly TAXUD imports and exports

Weekly import statistics of agricultural products based on the "Surveillance" System of the Taxation and Customs Union DG, as shown in the Weekly TAXUD imports and Weekly TAXUD exports visualisations presented on the portal.
The United Kingdom is no longer a Member State of the European Union, however until the end of the transition period it was still part of the EU Customs Union. Taxud EU trade data therefore also included the UK as long as it was part of the Customs Union. Such data is labelled as EU+UK.

The provided results include the amount in Kg and the Kg equivalent, the latter being calculated using a coefficient. The unit value that is also displayed is an average calculated on a weight basis. More information can be found in the “Info views” of the portal’s Weekly TAXUD imports and Weekly TAXUD exports visualisations.

Filtering information on weeks vs months :

When the months filter is not used, each returned result will contain the complete week's values and volumes (even if the week spreads across two months – ex: week 9 of 2025 is 24 Feb – 2 Mar).
On the other hand, if a week spreads across two months, and you use the filter months you will receive:

  • If you filter non-consecutive months: results only for the part of the week that is within the limits of the filtered months. The total values and volumes for a specific month can be calculated as a direct sum of the obtained weekly results.
  • If you filter consecutive months:
    • For the first and last weeks of the filtered period: results only for the part of the week that is within the limits of the month.
    • For the other weeks: results for the complete weeks, including when they spread across two consecutive months.
  • This means that when a query includes consecutive months, the total values and volumes for each individual month can not be obtained directly from sum of the weekly results. To obtain the total values and volumes for specific months as a direct sum of the provided weekly results, multiple queries should be used for single or non-consecutive months so as to obtain only the parts of the weeks that fall in the requested months.
Example:
  • Results broken down for a query filtering Year 2025, Months 2 to 4 (February to April):
    Weeks included 1st day of the week Last day of the week Results include data:
