Merchandise imports by the reporting economy, residual (% of total merchandise imports)

This indicator represents the portion of total merchandise imports attributed to trade relationships that fall outside the established classifications of high-, low-, and middle-income economies as defined by the World Bank. By measuring the total merchandise imports sourced from the global market—excluding specific economic classifications—this metric captures the dynamic nature of trade ties with countries that may not fit neatly into conventional categorization, including those with unspecified partners or unclassified economies. The data, expressed as a percentage of overall merchandise imports, provides valuable insights into the diverse trade landscape of the reporting economy, highlighting shifts in import patterns that reflect emerging markets, evolving trade policies, and geopolitical changes.
