Q10035 - INFO: Exchange rates usage in Comtrade data
Q How are exchange rates applied to convert to US dollars in Comtrade data and where can I find this exchange rate.
A

We use an average annual exchange rate which is calculated by weighting the monthly exchange rate with the monthly volume of trade.

We do this separately for imports and exports. The rate can be found under Explanatory Notes for each country in the Comtrade database.
