What this is
What the trade code used to track Pokémon card exports actually covers: heading 9504.40 includes all playing cards, and neither the UN trade database nor Japan's customs data separates Pokémon cards (2019–2025).
How it’s built
- Read from the commodity code on the UN Comtrade records of Japan's exports under this heading.
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Any export figure under this heading is a ceiling for Pokémon cards: other publishers' trading cards and ordinary playing cards are in it too.
