Strategic Trade Atlas: Country-based views
A Strategic Trade Atlas was developed to promote understanding of global trade flows of strategic goods, i.e., goods of militarily strategic value, including dual-use goods which can contribute to development of weapons of mass destruction. This atlas provides macroscopic graphical representations of global trade flows classified under Harmonized System (HS) codes associated (by the World Customs Organization) with strategic commodities. The profiles provide readily understandable representations of each country’s main imports and exports classified under these HS codes, based on data originally reported to and made publicly available by the United Nations Statistical Division. This and other high quality, statistically relevant data sources exist, but are largely untapped resources for strategic trade control purposes. Efforts to promote and facilitate use of trade data should enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of strategic trade control efforts.
