All trade data is sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau International Trade API. We ingest data at the most detailed summary level (SUMMARY_LVL=DET) to capture individual commodity-country trade flows.
The Census Bureau typically releases monthly trade data with a ~2 month lag (e.g., January data becomes available in March). TradeSignals automatically detects and ingests new data as it becomes available.
Year-over-year (YoY) growth is calculated by comparing the current month's value against the same month in the prior year: growth_pct = ((current - previous) / previous) * 100
Opportunities are scored by combining trade value magnitude and growth rate: score = log10(value) * 0.6 + growth_pct * 0.4. This balances large established trade flows with fast-growing emerging ones.
Products are classified using the Harmonized System (HS) at the 6-digit level, providing ~5,000 distinct commodity categories. Additional classifications include NAICS (industry), SITC, End-Use, and Hi-Tech categories.
