DATA FOR IMPORTERS & EXPORTERS
Compare import and export markets by product and country.
Use monthly U.S. Census trade data and selected EU Comext coverage to see how much of a product countries report trading, with whom, and at what reported value. Put those figures beside your own orders, supplier offers, and trade documents in Atlas Verified.

Answer the questions your trade team gets every week.
Use the published market figures to decide where to investigate, which offers to request, and what you need to explain to management.
Compare sourcing countries
See how the reported volume for the same product moved across countries. Use the comparison to decide which origins deserve supplier outreach.
Research an export market
Check reported exports by partner, product, and month. Review seasonal patterns and changes in demand before assigning a distributor or sales lead to investigate.
Explain a change in trade value
Compare value and quantity separately. Check whether the source units match before deriving a value per unit. Keep grade, contract terms, and landed cost in a separate comparison.
Keep product classifications aligned
Confirm the source classification and edition before comparing a U.S. HS or Schedule B series with an EU CN series. Call out splits and merges in the code when they affect the comparison.
Spot incomplete coverage
Record missing partners, periods, suppressed values, and unavailable quantities in the analysis. Tell the team which conclusions the available rows support.
Compare with your own purchases and sales
Use authorized order records, quotes, or uploaded documents to see where your trade differs from the published market. Keep company records and public statistics clearly labeled.
Build a sourcing or export brief you can repeat.
Define the product and flow
Start with the product description and code. Name the reporting country, partner countries, import or export direction, and the comparison period.
Compare the same measurements
Use the latest common month available. Check quantity units, value definitions, and classification editions. Note whether either series has been revised.
Decide what to validate next
Share the market brief with purchasing or sales. Attach relevant offers or order records if available and assign the next question to the person who can confirm it.
Ask Atlas Verified to explain the numbers your team will use.
Start from a product code or an authorized quote, purchase order, or shipment document. Use the source-linked comparison to brief your team.
Compare the latest common period across two origins and prepare questions for your next supplier calls.
Review which available destinations report the strongest volume for your product, then check where your company has a distributor or open opportunity.
Check whether the codes, quantities, units, and stated origins in your records line up. Ask your broker or classification owner to review open questions.
Prepare a two-origin comparison using the latest common reporting period. Cite the series, trade direction, code, and quantity unit. Leave supplier pricing and freight assumptions for the buying team.
Know the reporting boundaries before drawing a conclusion.
The reporting country, partner, trade direction, product edition, and period belong in every comparison.
Compare published series at the same level
A narrow EU CN code and a broader U.S. HS category can describe different products. Compare at a valid common level or show the two sources separately.
Keep market totals separate from individual transactions
Use market statistics for published totals. Use your shipment documents, supplier records, or separately authorized transaction data when you need evidence about a specific company, shipment, or invoice.
