Still looking for comprehensive U.S. Export Data?
Welcome to PIERS. We're glad you found us.
Partial information may get you halfway to your destination. But only PIERS gives you the full picture.
- U.S. Customs does not offer any comprehensive, automated daily release of detailed export data.
- U.S. Census data is limited to high level, aggregate statistics – no Bill of Lading detail, no view of company or state. And that’s monthly, not daily.
PIERS is the only company that gathers complete, detailed U.S. export information at the ports. Every day.
(Maybe that’s why so many U.S. government agencies get their trade intelligence from PIERS… )
-USDA Economist, April Taylor
Only PIERS has staff reporters ...
- covering 88 U.S. ports
- gathering 300,000 BOLs/month,
- for 15 million records processed annually.
For every waterborne U.S. export, every day, we personally collect:
- Shipper (consignor)
- Shipline
- BOL number
- Vessel name
- Vessel date
- Origin/Destination
- Load/Unload port
- Type of commodity
- Units
- Weight
- Packaging
- Volumes (TEUs)
- Container number
There’s no substitute for quality.
That’s why we verify the accuracy of ports shown, cross reference ship lines and research sailing schedules. We report first & last destinations – and every port in between where partial unloads take place. In the ports we work side-by-side with customs officials, and at home we extensively process all data – turning “trade data” into “trade intelligence”.
Comprehensive Trade Intelligence – including U.S. export transaction detail.
You just can’t get it anywhere else.
