South Sudan — Trade & Compliance

South Sudan's trade profile consolidates its merchandise flow from CEPII BACI, the preferential agreements it has entered from the World Bank, the international cargo conventions it has ratified from the UN Treaty Collection, and its applied tariff, VAT and currency of record from the World Bank, the EU and ISO 4217.

Every figure is shown as its named source records it and dated where the source dates it; trade partners and product codes link to their own pages where logibook profiles them.
