PIERS TI® (Trade Intelligence) |
Direct, immediate access to the primary source for the trade intelligence essential to maximize business growth while minimizing risk--PIERS U.S. import and export data. Data is refreshed daily and covers transactions up to 36 months of historical export data and 60 months of historical import data.
Sources: This is information gathered by PIERS directly from the bills of lading and manifests filed both manually and through the U.S. Customs Automated Manifest System (AMS). PIERS adds value by auditing, standardizing and validating the data, and by assigning harmonized tariff codes to all manifest commodity descriptions.
