What A's exports to B are used for
Are A's goods exports to B mostly materials and parts for industry, goods for households, or machinery and equipment?
- How to read a cell
- What A's goods sales to B are mainly used for. 'Materials & parts' go into B's factories and building sites (metals, chemicals, crude oil, components); 'Consumer goods' go to B's households (food, clothes, medicines); 'Machinery & equipment' is what B's businesses invest in; 'Mixed use' is cars, petrol and goods with no single use. The label shows the largest group and its share; hover for the full split. “No data” means the source has no figure for that pair — the note in the cell says why; “not applicable” means the question does not arise for that pair.
- Reliability
- high for the flows (the same BACI as T01); the grouping is the UN's Broad Economic Categories Rev.4, which gives each HS product its main use, so a product used both ways counts by its main use; passenger cars, refined petroleum and goods BEC does not assign are 'mixed use'
- Answered
- 95 % of 39,402 directed cells have an answer; the rest say why not
- Second source
- 5 % of the cells (marked ≈) rest on a secondary source or an estimate because the main source has no figure — the note in each such cell names it; verify before relying on it

The table
Rows are country A, columns country B; the two-letter codes are the usual country codes (AM = Armenia, DE = Germany…). Hover a cell to see the full value and its note. A dash means “no” or “nothing recorded”; a striped cell means either “no data” (the source has no figure for this pair — the note says why) or “not applicable” (the question makes no sense for this pair, for example a sea route for two landlocked countries). “All regions” on both sides shows the whole table.
