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 by offering a modern and more intuitive interface with a streamlined design.
With the new tool, users no longer need to create an account to generate and save reports; instead, they can use their email address, removing the need for password management. Additional features include enhanced navigation that consolidates 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 who have saved reports on the legacy platform to recreate and save them in the new system before the older version is decommissioned by June. A user guide is available for those seeking more information about navigating the updated tool.
No formal news release accompanied this announcement; it was distributed as a tip sheet.
