New product classification
Producer and Import Price Index is published according to both SPIN 2007 and SPIN 2015 in the statistical database. Both product classifications will be available during 2017 and 2018. In 2019, price indices will only be available according to SPIN 2015. Users are recommended to start using SPIN 2015 when it is available.
The differences between the two classifications are small. Most changes occur within divisions in Sections A-E. For more information on both classifications (available only in Swedish), please see
