The PIERS Imports (U.S. Ports) database offers timely, accurate and complete import information on global cargo entering seaports in the United States. The file contains the most recent 18 months of information. PIERS monitors global shipments of goods and commodities on everything from raw materials to consumer goods. PIERS reporters throughout the country collect import information obtained from vessel manifests and U.S. Customs Automated Manifest Systems (AMS) from all U.S. ports. To ensure accuracy, the PIERS quality-assurance staff audits and cross-checks shipping documentation. Ship lines along with importers and exporters that subscribe to PIERS verify their own shipments and notify PIERS of any discrepancies among the shipment records. Due to PIERS quality assurance procedures, there is up to a two-month lag between vessel arrivals and the loading of data into the file.
PIERS global trade information and niche market services are invaluable resources for companies involved in international trade. Use PIERS to:
