United Nations COMTRADE data are used to examine worn clothing trade flows over the most recent five years (2013-2017). The focal metric for analysis is export values expressed in U.S. dollars. Export data were queried using various time scenarios including: 2013-2017, 1996-2008 and pre and post Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) (1996-2005, 2006-2017, respectively). The five year period was selected based on the goal to identify current impacts and policy implications. To identify complex patterns of trade flows between exporting and destination countries, a visual tool is adopted. An interactive Sankey diagram presented in static form illustrates destination countries for the top seven global worn clothing exporters.
