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 as before.
With the new platform, users are no longer required to create an account to generate or save reports. Instead, reports can be saved using 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 with improved collaboration tools, and redesigned report management that allows 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 older platform are advised to recreate and save them in the new tool.
