Trade overview

Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark located between the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans, with a small but strategically significant trade profile. Its primary exports include fish and seafood products, and it maintains customs arrangements separate from the European Union despite Denmark's EU membership. For US trade purposes, Greenland is tracked as a distinct trade partner under its own country code.
