What is Standard International Trade Classification (SITC)?

Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) is a classification system developed by the United Nations to categorize traded goods by their nature and level of processing. It is used to facilitate international trade statistics and analysis by providing a uniform structure for reporting trade data across countries. SITC codes range from 0 to 9, with higher numbers representing more processed goods.
