About PIERS

PIERS, the standard for trade intelligence, maintains the most comprehensive service of complete, accurate and reliable import and export information on cargoes moving through ports in the United States, Latin America and Asia. PIERS collects data from more than 15,000,000 bills of lading per year which translates into greater than 20,000,000 shipments annually. PIERS turns this raw data into cleansed, standardized, enhanced and validated facts and figures which provide the trusted intelligence that companies use to make profitable decisions.

With roots dating back to the 1827 founding of The Journal of Commerce, the most respected news sources of global trade and transport, PIERS - the Port Import Export Reporting Service - is one of the pioneers in electronic information services.

PIERS, a division of UBM Global Trade, provides trade information from 1950 to current day. Clients use PIERS trade information to measure markets, analyze competition, uncover opportunities and capitalize on trade success.
