Methodology and sources

UN Comtrade, extract dated 30 October 2026. Reporter: Czech Republic (203); flow: imports (M); partners: World (0) and Portugal (620); HS 2022 (H6). CIF values in current US dollars. Changes between 2024 and 2025 are calculated using unrounded values. They also reflect exchange-rate movements and do not measure growth in quantity. National data 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 other applications. For imports from Portugal, records are missing for HS 75, 78 and 80 in 2024; HS 78 and 88 in 2025; and HS 7008 and 9406 in both years. Totals sum the available records; shares use total imports in the basket from the world. The absence of a record does not confirm a zero value.

Needs and Preferences for Competitiveness: Benchmarking and Insights

What can we learn from the experience of other organisations and markets? IET will host a session to present the findings of the benchmarking programme in Czechia, carried out as part of MASTER EXPORT 2.0, and invite companies to explore the insights gained from this international experience. The session will highlight the main conclusions, practices and reference points identified during the programme. Participants will discuss how learning about other approaches can help companies review their own processes, identify opportunities for improvement and prepare for international markets. Intended for business owners, managers and professionals interested in internationalisation, the event will provide a space for information and discussion. It is an opportunity to broaden perspectives and consider how the findings might apply to each company.
