Given the differences in the mapping of HS codes to NAICS, record linkage (with a leakage of about 5%) and coverage (e.g. customs goods versus balance of payments goods and services), the estimates of imports and exports by industry will not be comparable across the tables. Table 1 and Table 2 show imports and exports by high level NAICS codes.

What data set to use?

If a user wants to analyze the industry in Canada that would have produced the imported good they should use the HS-NAICS concordance data, Table 12-10-0136-01.
If a user wants to analyze the industry that produced the exported good or used the imported good they should use the value added in exports by industry database, Table 12-10-0100-01. This table includes many other characteristics such as value added in exports, jobs embodied in exports, imports of intermediate inputs etc.
If a user wants to analyze the industry that imported the good or exported the good they should use the TIC or TEC data, Table 12-10-0112-01 or Table 12-10-0098-01.These tables include extra characteristics such as establishment employment size, number of partner countries and number of importing establishments etc.
