Trading across borders: Cost to export: Documentary compliance (USD) (DB16-20 methodology) — every country, all years (World Bank)
The cost for documentary compliance to export records the cost associated with compliance with the export documentary requirements of all government agencies of the origin economy, the destination economy and any transit economies. It is calculated in UD dollars. The cost for documentary compliance includes the cost for obtaining, preparing, processing, presenting and submitting documents. Insurance cost and informal payments for which no receipt is issued are excluded from the costs recorded. The component indicator is computed based on the methodology in the DB16-20 studies. Every country, region and year the World Bank publishes for indicator TRD.ACRS.BRDR.EXPT.COST.DOC.COMP.CD.DB1619 (Doing Business), delivered as a tidy table — country, ISO code, year and value — ready for analysis in Excel, R, Python or the Intigal AI workspace.
