# wto.trade.data Retrieve official World Trade Organization time-series data for trade and tariff indicators by reporting economy and year. Covers 58 indicators across three domains: tariff profiles (MFN applied/bound tariff averages, HS-level ad valorem duties by product), merchandise trade values (exports and imports by product group, quarterly and monthly), and commercial services trade (exports and imports by sector and partner). Returns structured data rows with indicator code, reporting economy, partner economy (for bilateral flows), product/sector classification, year, value, and unit. Example queries: US MFN applied tariff in 2022 (indicator TP_A_0010, reporter 840), China merchandise exports 2018-2022 (ITS_MTV_AX, reporter 156), EU commercial services exports (ITS_CS_AX6, reporter 097). Use wto.trade.indicators to discover indicator codes with their categories, units, and year ranges. Use wto.trade.reporters to look up 3-digit economy codes. Data is updated annually/quarterly by WTO Statistics Division. Free tier: 10 req/s. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `wto.trade.data`.

From the tool's own definition: "Retrieve official World Trade Organization time-series data for trade and tariff indicators" ## Use case AI agents call wto.trade.data to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**.
