When reviewing India trade data, distinguish port-based records from special economic zone extracts. Establish which source, location, trade direction and period a sample represents before combining it with another extract. Check overlap and available fields; different extracts should not be assumed to have identical coverage.
Use the same product classification and reporting period, then check whether their port or special economic zone coverage overlaps. Review record definitions before adding quantities or values, so that repeated records are not counted twice.
Use these checks when evaluating a data extract for India; field availability depends on the selected source and period.
Source and location. Keep the port or special economic zone source attached to each extract. Confirm which locations are included before describing a result as an India-wide view.
Record date and reporting period. Distinguish a transaction date from the date the record became available. Ask for the latest available period and the delivery schedule of each source separately.
Product, quantity and value. Align descriptions, classification, currency and quantity units before combining extracts. Check for overlapping records before calculating totals.
A sample demonstrates the fields and records it contains. It does not by itself establish coverage of other ports, special economic zones, transport modes or periods. Request a source-by-source coverage statement for your intended research.
