Data notes
Data notes
All values are in USD, converted from the dataset's USD-million rows at display time. Year-over-year change compares April 2026 with April 2025; month-over-month change compares it with March 2026. Year-to-date figures are the cumulative totals published in this month's bulletin, not a later revision. Trade balance is the published GACC balance and can differ from exports minus imports by rounding. This page covers one fixed month and does not move when a later month is promoted.
