The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) International Merchandise Trade data is valuable for understanding import and export commodities passing through Australia’s ports and airports. It contains detailed records of commodity information by tonnes and value, port of departure, port of arrival, country of origin and destination, and mode of transport. The historical data from 2005 to 2020 is presented quarterly and the data from July 2020 is presented monthly. The most recent data in the 'Imports from July 2020' and 'Exports from July 2020' files is 3 months old as of the most recent update. As the ABS International Merchandise Trade data is derived from customs data, it is part of the NFDH Customs data project. Additional information about the Customs data project is available on the [ __Projects__](https://datahub.freightaustralia.gov.au/about-nfdh/projects#:~:text=Truck%20Telematics%20dataset-,Customs%20data,-This%20project%20involves) page on the NFDH website. Specific information about the data, including limitations, and the complete imports and exports visualisation can be found on the [__Imports and Exports__]( https://datahub.freightaustralia.gov.au/explore/interactives/Imports%20and%20Exports) interactive page.
