Methodology and sources

UN Comtrade, extract dated 30 October 2026. Reporter: Austria (40); flow: imports (M); partners: World (0) and Portugal (620); HS 2022 (H6). CIF values in current US dollars. Changes compare 2025 with 2024 and also reflect exchange-rate movements. They do not measure growth in quantity. The data are national and do not isolate the North and Centre regions.

Metalworking: HS 72–76 and 78–89. Habitat: HS 4418, 4504, 6802, 6907, 6910–6913, 7007–7008, 7013, 6301–6304, 9401 and 9403–9406. These are product baskets, not official sector totals, and include applications outside the sectors. For imports from Portugal, no records were returned for HS 75 in either year, HS 78 in 2024, or HS 7008 and 9406 in either year. Totals sum the available records; shares are calculated using total imports in the basket from the world.
