About
Trade classification data from the Harvard Dataverse, as featured in the Atlas of Economic Complexity, offers a detailed view of global trade dynamics. It utilises the Harmonized System (HS), an international standard for product classification, to provide a common basis for customs and trade analysis. This dataset includes trade data in international units and features a system covering various locations, enabling users to understand and compare trade patterns on a granular level. The data is based on the Harmonized System (HS) 1992 and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 2.
Columns
- product_id: A numerical identifier for each product.
- hs_product_code: The six-digit Harmonized System (HS) 1992 code used for classifying traded goods.
- hs_product_name_short_en: The short English name of the product.
- level: The level of specificity in the classification hierarchy, indicating whether the code is 4-digit or 6-digit.
- parent_id: An identifier for the parent category in the product hierarchy.
Distribution
The dataset is provided in a CSV file named
hs_product.csv with a size of 379.01 kB. It contains 6,406 valid records (rows) and 6 columns. The data is fully populated, with no missing values reported for most columns, ensuring a clean and usable structure.Usage
This data is valuable for a wide range of applications related to international trade. It is used for economic and trade analysis to track goods, study market trends, and understand global trade patterns. Furthermore, it supports supply chain management by helping with the logistics of goods that may require different handling or transportation arrangements based on their classification.
Coverage
The dataset provides global coverage of traded goods as classified under the international Harmonized System. It is structured to include various locations within its system, allowing for broad geographical analysis. The primary classification system used is the Harmonized System (HS) from 1992.
