Brazil: chips and chip-making tools

How much of Brazil's trade in each good crosses the US-China control line.

The lines, the same for both channels: a country is inside the lines when at least 15% of its trade in the good crosses the control line, on a side with at least US$1bn of trade; Medium from 25%, High from 40%.

A cell shows a figure only when it rests on an open official source. “Assessment pending open data” means the figure rests on a source we may not publish yet: it carries no number and no band, is hatched on the map and adds no points to the ranking, until an open national figure replaces it. “At least Medium” means only one side of the trade has an open figure: the band is a floor, not the full assessment.
