Import bottlenecks: products where one supplier holds 80% or more of imports
Pick two countries to see where a single supplier dominates imports: product name, HS code, supplier country, that country's share, dollar value and data year. A record counts as a bottleneck when one country supplies at least 80% of a product's imports and those imports are worth 10 million dollars or more.
Coloured countries are the 19 selected ones; darker means more bottlenecks. Next click sets A.
