International trade statistics provide information on imports and exports of goods and services between New Zealand and our trading partners.
- For the June 2026 quarter, revisions have been made back to the June 2014 quarter. As a result, the revised CSV file and the output_csv_full file contain identical data, so the revised CSV file has been omitted to save space.
