Here is an example for Bermuda: http://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/visualize/tree_map/sitc/import/bmu/show/all/1971/

Downloaded, this data has a section as follows:

year country_origin_id region country_origin hs92_product_id import_val import_val_pct
1971 BMU West Indies? XXA ALL 191000 0.0017
1971 BMU NAA ALL 1719000 0.016
1971 BMU FDR ALL 2224000 0

...

year country_origin_id region country_origin hs92_product_id import_val import_val_pct
1977 BMU FIO ALL 3000 0.0000021
1975 BRB FIO ALL 1000 0.0000045
1982 CUB FIO ALL 1707000 0.0015

Where

Special Areas = XXA Netherland Antilles and Aruba = NAA Federal Republic of Germany = FDR

The first refers to special areas (e.g. UN Missions) The third is not in use since the reunification (GDR and FDR moved to DEU)

I did look for Meghan in the R package (R package https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/oec/index.html that we wrote and provides a list of countries and products) shows in the country list.

However, FIO is does not appear on the list, and the list comes from the official countries list of the OEC.
