Major Change in Trade Data

1) Effective with Dec. 2006 trade data, USA Trade Online will include statistics on containerized shipments (such as vessel value and vessel shipping weight data for items shipped in van-type containers) with the port data.
2) Next month, March 2007, the trade data will be released using a revised Hormonized System (H.S.) coding system. This code changes will affect data bases such as USA TradeOnline, ITC and UN. It will also affect the SITC codes. See more details at http://home.stat-usa.gov/statnews.
