2. What to look into next
Our reading
Chile takes 70.7% of Anguilla’s goods exports. If you sell there, its import rules and buyer channels come first; either way, compare at least one other market before you commit.

Trade data gap
The Statistics Department's merchandise trade tables end with 2010 exports, and its page says data from 2011 onward are not available.
