The U.S. Census Bureau announced on March 19 the launch of USA Trade Online: Reimagined, marking a transition from the legacy USA Trade Online platform.
USA Trade Online has been a primary resource for accessing trade data for nearly thirty years. The updated version aims to improve user experience with a modern and more intuitive interface, featuring a streamlined design while maintaining access to the same trade data.
One notable change is that users no longer need to create an account to generate and save reports. Instead, reports can be saved using just an email address, removing the need for password management. Additional features include enhanced navigation by consolidating all report selections onto a single screen, simplified report-sharing capabilities, improved collaboration tools, and redesigned report management with custom tagging and dataset filtering options.
The Census Bureau encourages users to visit the user guide for more information about these updates. The legacy version of USA Trade Online will be decommissioned by June. Users who have saved reports on the old platform are advised to recreate and save them in the new tool.
This update reflects ongoing efforts by the Census Bureau to streamline access to important trade data resources.
