Source and method
  1. [1] Eurostat, COMEXT international trade in goods statistics (monthly), fetched via the Eurostat API at build time.

Measured, reported statistics from the named source, frozen at the build-time snapshot shown in the header chips. Derived aggregates on this page (partner groups, rolling windows, ranks) are computed from that snapshot at build; nothing here is modelled or projected.
