Canadian International Trade Data, 1996: Canadian Import Summary Files

These files, produced by Statistics Canada International Trade Division, give the value of goods (in CDN) and quantities by 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 -digit SITC Rev.3 code. Trade figures are divided into imports and exports relative to Canada. Currently the Export file is only referenced at the 8 digit level. The imports file is referenced at the 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 digit level. Since the files are so large, the imports have been divided into 5 sections based on the commodities. These are referenced below in the Documentation Section. Users may also be interested in the WorldTrade Database which contains information on imports and exports between any two countries, at the 4 digit level. This data contains annual figures from 1980-1997.
