"The United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN Comtrade) contains detailed imports and exports statistics reported by statistical authorities of close to 200 countries or areas. It concerns annual trade data from 1962 to the most recent year. UN Comtrade is considered the most comprehensive trade database available with more than 1 billion records."
This site can be used to research current and historical import and export statistics, and allows for user-defined criteria such as the type of commodity and the names of the countries. The site can be a little intimidating to use at first, but the First-Time User Guide can help get the researcher started quickly.
