WTD 2.0 Launch! Complete Schedule for Waterborne Import Trade (WIT) Product Reports

04/09/2012 by Robert Thompson 1 Comment

We are excited to announce that during the next 10 months (from September, 2012 through June, 2013), we will be reporting on the 213 products (from over 6,000 six digit harmonized code categories) that represent 70% of all U.S. Waterborne Import Trade. Although constituting less than 3% of possible products, they account for 58% of ALL U.S. Import Trade.

These reports will help establish a suitable context wherein U.S. Customs waterborne (transactional) data can be better understood and applied.

Those who utilize U.S. Customs data (acquired from any of the current purveyors of such) ought to take special note of the relevance or irrelevance that this type of transactional information may have for their particular product(s).  For example, while one may find a plethora of information on U.S. Importers, foreign suppliers and supply chain logistics for frozen beef, fish & shrimp (since over 90% of all U.S. Import trade in these products come via ship), identifying that information for most sophisticated electronic components from the same data is likely to be very frustrating.

These reports are scheduled to be published (free of charge) as indicated below.  We also provide a subscription service wherein all reports are available immediately.  Included in the paid subscription ($1,000 corporate rate) are comprehensive monthly updates for the listed products as well.  Please see below for contact information.
