European Union
The EU balance showed a €14.7 bn surplus in trade in goods with the rest of the world in October 2025, compared with +€3.1 bn in October 2024.
The extra-EU exports of goods in October 2025 were €227.5 billion, down by 0.6% compared with October 2024 (€228.9 bn).
Imports from the rest of the world stood at €212.8 bn, down by 5.8% compared with October 2024 (€225.8 bn).
In October 2025, the EU balance showed a decline compared to September 2025, with the overall surplus decreasing from €15.4 bn to €14.7 bn. This change was primarily driven by a reduction in the chemicals and related products surplus, which fell from €26.5 bn in September 2025 to €16.4 bn in October 2025. However, the decline in the overall balance was partially mitigated by reductions in the deficits for both energy (from €-23.2 bn to €-19.9 bn) and other manufactured goods (from €-5.0 bn to €-0.5 bn).
Compared to October 2024, the EU balance improved by €11.6 bn. This positive change was largely attributed to the reduction in deficit for energy products, which decreased from €-28.7 bn in October 2024 to €-19.9 bn in October 2025, and other manufactured goods, which decreased from €-4.4 to €-0.5.
In January to October 2025, the EU recorded a surplus of €116.7 bn, compared with €116.3 bn in January-October 2024.
The extra-EU exports of goods rose to €2 215.3 bn (an increase of 2.6% compared with January-October 2024), and imports rose to €2 098.6 bn (an increase of 2.8% compared with January-October 2024).
Intra-EU trade rose to €3 465.6 bn in January-October 2025, +2.3% compared with January-October 2024.

Notes for users
Revisions and timetable
This News Release is based on information transmitted by Member States to Eurostat before 11 Dec 2025 figures are provisional. For more details, see information on data.
Methods and definitions
Statistics on trade in goods are transmitted monthly by the Member States, in accordance with the standard set out in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197. For each reference month, Member States must compile statistics covering their total extra- and intra-EU trade by using estimates, where necessary. These data are available within 40 days after the end of the reference month, enabling euro area and EU aggregates to be disseminated within around 46 days.
Member States provide Eurostat with raw data, which are adjusted for calendar and seasonal effects by Eurostat. The European aggregates are computed with the indirect approach (by Member States) for total imports and exports, which guarantees additivity between the aggregate and its respective components. The estimation of seasonally adjusted data is based on the Tramo-Seats procedure, which is available in the software JDemetra+.
Data are broken down by broad categories of products as defined by the one-digit codes of the Standard international trade classification (SITC).
Geographical information
The euro area (EA20) includes Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.
The European Union (EU27) includes Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Italy, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden.
