International Merchandise Trade: Confidential Commodities List

This document details all import and export commodities which have been subject to confidentiality restrictions since 1 January 1988. The data cube containing the details of the confidentialisation is referred to as the Confidential Commodities List (CCL).

The CCL is available from the Data downloads section of this document. The data cube presents information under the following four headings:

• changes and new restrictions to import items in the current month
• changes and new restrictions to export items in the current month
• all import restrictions from January 1988 to the current month
• all export restrictions from January 1988 to the current month.

The information in the CCL data cube is presented in Commodity Code order. To view or print selections for a specific period, sort the data into date order by choosing the required category such as 'Month of cessation'. To print the result, highlight the rows of data required, and select print.
