Notes and source

This page shows indicators derived by KEYSTONE. (ranks, shares, growth rates, indices); the reported values are in the dashboards.

Ranks and shares are computed among the countries in the dataset (the leading reporters for each HS code), on values in US dollars at current prices. Each country is shown in the last year it has reported. The unit value compares raw stone (blocks and slabs) with the world average of the same codes.

The source lists only the leading reporters of each code (50 for exports, 30 for imports). When a country is missing from one of those lists its total is not fully known: its rank is then shown as a range (#12–15) and the figures that depend on the total as «—», rather than an estimate.

  • Source: UN Comtrade, extracted 08-11-2026 · aggregated and converted by KEYSTONE. · The figures shown are KEYSTONE.'s processing, not official UN statistics.
  • The latest year (2025) is provisional until UN Comtrade consolidates its annual data; figures extracted on 08-11-2026 and subject to revision.
  • Scope: HS 2514, 2515, 2516, 6801, 6802, 6803 (4-digit headings and 6-digit sub-codes). Values in USD at current prices; quantities in tonnes (net weight).
