Balance of international payments, current account, goods, annual [36100020]

For values prior to 1981, please see archived CANSIM table 376-0006. Starting in 1988, trade in goods data are classified according to the North American Product Classification System (NAPCS) 2022. Prior 1988, NAPCS 2007 is used to classify trade in goods by commodity. Differences between trade values published under NAPCS 2022 and those published under NAPCS 2007 are due primarily to the introduction of new categories, and changes to the concordance used to map values collected under the Harmonized System (HS) classification to NAPCS. The individual commodity groups are valued at the point of last consignment (plant) with various commodity-specific balance of payments adjustments applied for valuation (including inland freight), timing and coverage. Special transactions trade is a standard statistical category of goods which covers items not allocated to another commodity grouping and whose source is customs records. Other balance of payments adjustments cover balance of payments adjustments not allocated to specific commodities, including the inland freight. The addition of inland freight results in a total goods figure valued at the customs frontier of the exporting country. Beginning January 2021, the United Kingdom ceased to be covered by trade agreements negotiated by the European Union. Since the data for the United Kingdom is presented separately in this table, the values for the European Union exclude those of the United Kingdom for all reference periods and regardless of the membership status of the United Kingdom in the European Union.
