Japan Motor Vehicle Trade
Trade by Partner
Monthly customs values for one commodity, for the world and for any partners you pick. Vehicle shipments are lumpy month to month, so the second view sums a trailing twelve months; the third reads the same figures as each partner's share of the world total, and the fourth divides value by quantity to give an average price per vehicle shipped (per kilogram for parts).
Destination Mix Over Time
The same commodity, read as a mix rather than a level. Each band is a partner's share of the world total over a trailing twelve months, so a single strong month does not read as a change in the mix. Partners outside the five largest are bundled into one disclosed residual, never dropped, and the bands sum to 100% in every month.
Vehicles, Parts and Motorcycles
World totals for every commodity published in this direction, on trailing twelve-month sums. Finished vehicles and the parts shipped to assembly plants abroad move on different cycles, which is the point of reading them together. A published group and the items beneath it are both shown and must not be added: the Ministry publishes vehicle lines inside the group that are not carried here, so the group is always larger than passenger cars plus buses and trucks.
Partner Detail
Every partner the Ministry publishes for this commodity and direction, on the latest month. Values and quantities are official customs figures; growth, the twelve-month total and the share are calculated from them. The Ministry's non-country entries — goods shipped to order, unknown destinations and bonded areas — are part of the world total and are listed with the rest, marked as not being places.
