Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS)

The <B>Direction of Trade Statistics (DOTS)</B> presents the value of merchandise exports and imports disaggregated according to a country's primary trading partners. Area and world aggregates are included in the display of trade flows between major areas of the world. Reported data is supplemented by estimates whenever such data is not available or current. Imports are reported on a cost, insurance and freight (CIF) basis and exports are reported on a free on board (FOB) basis, with the exception of a few countries for which imports are also available FOB. Time series data includes estimates derived from reports of partner countries for non-reporting and slow-reporting countries.

**贸易方向统计数据集（Direction of Trade Statistics，简称DOTS）** 提供按一国主要贸易伙伴分类的商品进出口额数据。展示全球主要区域间贸易往来情况时，将包含区域及全球汇总统计数据。当官方报告数据不可得或时效性不足时，将以估算数据予以补充。进口额以成本加保险费加运费（Cost, Insurance and Freight，简称CIF）价统计，出口额以船上交货（Free On Board，简称FOB）价统计；仅少数国家的进口额采用FOB价统计，作为例外情况。针对未上报或上报延迟的国家，其时序数据将采用其贸易伙伴的报告数据推导得到的估算值进行填充。
