Foreign trade statistics will no longer be published at andmebaas.stat.ee.

From March onwards, Statistics Estonia will be publishing all foreign trade data at a new web address here. In addition to the change in location, the data tables on foreign trade in goods and services have been revised. The titles of data tables have been made uniform and each table now contains data for only one time period, i.e. monthly, quarterly, and annual data are in separate tables (see table of changes).

The changes will affect in particular those using foreign trade data with a machine-to-machine interface. Statistics Estonia recommends that users of the API check their referrals at the earliest opportunity and adapt these to the new foreign trade database, otherwise data will not reach the interested parties after the next publication. A manual on how to use the statistical database API is available here.
