* From 2000 the EU figure is WTO's own series for today's 27 member states (EU-27), in every year, including years when the membership was different. The United Kingdom is ranked on its own.
* Economies ranked in 2021: 154 exporters, 157 importers.
* "Above 10" is the sum of the ten ranked economies. "..." means not available.

* Figures for every year are as WTO published them on 2026-09-29; WTO revises past figures, so they can differ from the printed review.
