Common questions
Why does the data come from other countries and not from Venezuela?
Venezuela has not reported its foreign trade statistics to UN Comtrade since 2013. That is why we use mirror data: what each partner declares it sold to or bought from Venezuela.
How often is this page updated?
When UN Comtrade publishes a complete year for the main partners. This page uses 2024, retrieved on 2026-10-18.
Why is oil shown only as a total?
To keep the focus on industrial goods. Oil and oil products (HS 27) are one share of what partners report importing from Venezuela, with no destination split.
Can I use this data?
Yes, citing the source: “VN Industrial using UN Comtrade data”. The CSV download includes the attribution, the year and the method.
