CSV and Excel delivery
China customs data CSV and Excel files by HS code
Public HS pages help users inspect China customs trends before ordering a file. When you need all partner countries, missing years, import flow, HS8, quantity fields, or a formatted workbook, scope a paid CSV or Excel delivery by HS code, flow, period, fields, and format.
CSV for analysis
Use CSV when the file will feed a database, script, dashboard, or repeatable market model.
Excel for research handoff
Use Excel when you need multiple tabs, summary tables, notes, and a file that business users can inspect quickly.
Scope before quote
The quote depends on HS code count, flow, years, country scope, fields, and whether HS8 or quantity data is required.
Fields to request
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Period | Monthly period, usually normalized as YYYY-MM for analysis. |
| HS code | HS6 by default; HS8 can be scoped when official source coverage is available. |
| Flow | Export, import, or both flows depending on the research question. |
| Partner country | Destination country for exports or origin country for imports. |
| Value | Trade value in USD, cleaned for spreadsheet and chart use. |
| Quantity and unit | Included when the requested official extract exposes quantity coverage. |
| Source notes | Notes that identify the source workflow and any coverage limitations. |
How to scope the request
Send the HS code, product, flow, years, and preferred format.
Confirm whether the public Top 20 page is enough or whether all partner countries are needed.
Check whether quantity, unit, HS8, missing years, or selected-country filters are required.
Receive a scoped quote and delivery expectation before the file is prepared.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download full China customs data from public pages?
Public HS pages show published Top 20 partner data so users can inspect coverage and trends. Full all-country partner-month CSV or Excel files are prepared by scoped request.
What format is better, CSV or Excel?
CSV is best for repeatable analysis, databases, and scripts. Excel is better when the file needs multiple tabs, summary tables, or a more readable handoff for research teams.
Can the file include HS8, quantity, and unit fields?
Yes, when official source coverage supports the requested extract. These fields should be included in the request so coverage and pricing can be confirmed before delivery.
How should I scope a paid customs data request?
Include the HS code, product description, export or import flow, year range, partner-country scope, fields, and delivery format. Narrow requests are easier to quote and deliver quickly.
