<p>Where can I find data on bilateral trade between countries in the world over time?
I heard that only International Trade Center has access to this data, but I guess there's a public source. I tried but didn't succeed, for example <a href="http://stat.wto.org/StatisticalProgram/WsdbExportZip.aspx?Language=E" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this one</a>.</p>

<p>Many thanks.</p>

Where can I find data on bilateral trade between countries in the world over time?
I heard that only International Trade Center has access to this data, but I guess there's a public source. I tried but didn't succeed, for example [this one](http://stat.wto.org/StatisticalProgram/WsdbExportZip.aspx?Language=E).

Many thanks.
