Cream, inside the EU

Cream barely crosses the EU border — the real trade is tankers between member states: Dutch and Irish cream rolling to German, Belgian and French plants. The same customs dataset keeps that record per member state, about a month further in arrears.

From — to, one corridor at a time

Pick a sender and a receiver and read that corridor: the tankers from one member state to another, month by month. Both customs perspectives are drawn — the sender's export record and the receiver's import record rarely agree to the tonne, and the gap itself is information. The border corridors are here too: choose the European Union as sender for the exports to third countries, or a third country as sender for what comes in.
