Japan Machinery Trade
Trade by Partner
Monthly customs values for one commodity, for the world and for any partners you pick. Trade is seasonal and 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 value per unit shipped, in whatever unit the Ministry publishes for that line (number of machines, or kilograms).
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.
Machine Tools, Construction Equipment and Engines
World totals for every machinery line published in this direction, on trailing twelve-month sums. Capital goods follow the buyer's investment cycle, so machine tools and construction equipment turn at different times from engines, pumps and bearings, which is the point of reading them together. A published group and the lines beneath it are both shown and must not be added: the Ministry publishes lines inside the group that are not carried here, so the group is always larger than the lines listed under it.
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.
