About these numbers

Goods come from Stats NZ's monthly overseas merchandise trade data, Jan 2015 to Sep 2026, by product (10-digit code), country and port. Exports are valued free on board, including re-exports; imports are valued at the border, before freight and insurance.

Services come from the quarterly international trade release (International trade, June 2026 quarter). They're not published monthly.

Weights are gross weights (including packaging) except where the product is counted in kilograms or tonnes, where the net quantity is used. Prices per kilogram mix in changes in the products within each code.

Prices and volumes for broad groups come from the overseas trade indexes. Terms of trade is the export price index divided by the import price index.
