Key findings from this pack
- PH export destinations are spread across several major partners.
- ASEAN’s share is larger on the PH import side than the export side.
- EU-27 sums members present in the WITS files.
- Timor-Leste WITS exports include re-exports; domestic-export denominators differ.
Methods & coverage
One merchandise vintage
Country shares use World Bank WITS TradeStats, based on UNSD Comtrade, for 2023. Shares divide partner trade by the reporter’s World total for the same flow. Exports are FoB; imports are CIF. Goods and services are not combined, and newer national customs releases are not mixed into this vintage. Export and import shares have different denominators and remain separate panels.
Partner groups and missing members
EU-27 means the sum of member partners present in the WITS file, not an independently complete EU total. Romania is absent from some files, including Philippine exports; this can understate the EU share. Missing members are not filled or assumed to be zero. ASEAN-10 sums member partners excluding the reporter. Timor-Leste’s ASEAN partner group is the ASEAN-10 of this 2023 vintage. Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR are separate partners.
Timor-Leste: re-exports change the denominator
WITS uses reporter TMP, mapped to TLS in the CSV, and includes re-exports. Timor-Leste national DGS domestic-export tables use a different denominator. Do not combine a DGS partner numerator with a WITS total, or present domestic-export shares as comparable with these WITS shares.
Gaps and regional aggregates
The selected country partner-share rows are present in this freeze. No missing country share is interpolated. The separate ASEANstats aggregate in the download is not recomputed from WITS and is not included in the country charts. Its Japan import share is a documented gap. Services and newer country vintages remain outside this pack.
Labels preserve supplied percentage precision and bars start at zero. The PH peer filter includes only Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia alongside the Philippines. The selected partner breakdown is not a full export or import allocation.
