Canada's Trade with the World, by Region
Canada enjoyed total trade growth of 11% with the world in 2010. Exports to the Latin America region increased 19%, while imports rose by almost 29%. Canada’s total trade with Latin America saw the biggest increase of 26% in 2010. Canada’s total trade growth with the United States, Canada’s top trading partner, saw an increase of 10%. Of notable interest was the decline in Canada’s exports to the Other region (Middle East and Africa), at a decline of 12% is the only region that saw a decline in exports in 2010. Canada’s imports from Latin America and the Other region (the Middle East and Africa), increased by 29% and 26% respectively, the biggest increase in imports in 2010. Canada’s trade with the Asia Pacific region has remain relatively stable over the years and in 2010, the region has a total trade growth of slightly higher than the United States, at 10.9%. However, the dominance of the United States in Canada’s trade patterns is clear, as even a small percentage change in magnitude is much larger in dollar terms than double-digit percentage changes in other markets.

Note: All merchandise is assigned Harmonised System (HS) codes in order that accurate trade records can be kept, tariffs collected appropriately, customs procedures followed, and so forth. The HS system of codes, at its most disaggregated, assigns a 10-digit code to a given item. As the degree of aggregation increases, the number of digits in the code decreases. Thus, for example, the 6-digit HS code assigned to a motor vehicle with a spark-type ignition and a cylinder capacity of more than 3000 cc is 870323. The 2-digit HS code (in this case it is 87) includes not only this type of vehicle, but also many other types of vehicles and a wide variety of vehicle accessories and parts. The table above is based on Harmonised System (HS) codes at the 2-digit level.

Note: All merchandise is assigned Harmonised System (HS) codes in order that accurate trade records can be kept, tariffs collected appropriately, customs procedures followed, and so forth. The HS system of codes, at its most disaggregated, assigns a 10-digit code to a given item. As the degree of aggregation increases, the number of digits in the code decreases. Thus, for example, the 6-digit HS code assigned to a motor vehicle with a spark-type ignition and a cylinder capacity of more than 3000 cc is 870323. The 2-digit HS code (in this case it is 87) includes not only this type of vehicle, but also many other types of vehicles and a wide variety of vehicle accessories and parts. The table above is based on Harmonised System (HS) codes at the 2-digit level.
