Analysis of trade data can provide insight both into general trends in trade and specific transactions of concern. Trade data can be sourced at both the transactional and aggregate level. Analysis of aggregate trade data often requires custom tools such as flow maps. Under this project, tools to collect, visualise and analyse UN Comtrade data are being developed. An example of this is the trade map, a flask-based flow map for UN Comtrade data. 

The tool leverages an HS correlation table based on the WCO STCE enforcement guide to identify HS code categories of higher interest.
