Couldn't find any references to data sources. This would be much more serious and useful if sources were listed.

Of course, it would be even more useful if there was a "download all data" link...

I'm guessing the source is https://comtrade.un.org/ Who else but the UN has that kind of data?
From the other comment it looks like they indeed use comtrade.

The IMF and Worldbank have some similar public data, although not in that amount of detail. [1] And I recently stumbled upon a project that tries to standartise the API for a lot of official data sources [2].
