Import NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 map boundaries

Import licensed European statistical-region GeoJSON, filter NUTS levels and match values by NUTS ID.

NUTS divides European territory into statistical regions. NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 are different geographic levels; the classification edition must match the codes and year in your statistical table.

Supply appropriately licensed geometry

This release does not bundle Eurostat GISCO NUTS boundaries. The GISCO statistical-units distribution has specific use conditions, including commercial-use restrictions. A freely downloadable file is not automatically licensed for an advertising-supported application. Review the official source and conditions and obtain permission or another suitable source for your intended use.

Import a NUTS file

  1. Prepare a polygon or multipolygon GeoJSON FeatureCollection in WGS84 longitude/latitude.
  2. Open Data → Use your own boundaries.
  3. Choose NUTS 2 or NUTS 3 in the GeoJSON level filter. The filter reads LEVL_CODE.
  4. Import the GeoJSON. IDs use NUTS_ID; labels use NAME_LATN or NUTS_NAME.
  5. Import values using those exact NUTS IDs and review unmatched rows.

For a file without LEVL_CODE, choose All regions and supply only the desired level. The file must be under 10 MB, with at most 10,000 features and 500,000 coordinate positions. Simplify very detailed files before importing.

Keep context with your map

Add the classification year, statistical year and data source in the title, subtitle or footnote. Keep the original licence and attribution with any redistributed data. A regional map from another source is not a substitute for a correctly versioned NUTS dataset.
