Trade domain

Cross-border commodity flows, sector by sector.

Monthly, period-labeled Census HS2 imports and exports, BTS border volumes, Statistics Canada manufacturing, INEGI maquiladora activity, and planned TransBorder/FAF freight priors. Scheduled freight priors stay context until rows, source health, and citations exist.

Before broad source-level claims, users should check /v1/sources sourceClaimAudit plus claimBearing and sourceFactHealth. Raw-current, non-live, stale, no-row, planned, future, missing-parser-policy, and embedding-backlog rows stay context-only unless packet evidence proves exact claim use. Free no-key access covers reports, feeds, manifests, discovery pages, and current public crossing pages; raw rows, historical exports, and feature windows require scoped server-side access.

Data sources powering this domain

Census International Trade

Monthly

US Census Bureau

US imports and exports by HS2 commodity category, with country-of-origin breakdown.

Evidence use: Monthly trade context only; claim use needs period labels, source freshness, and cited packet/report evidence.

BTS Border Volumes

Monthly

Bureau of Transportation Statistics

Truck, vehicle, and container counts at every US land border crossing. Decades of history.

Evidence use: Monthly historical context only: not live wait or disruption evidence without cited period labels and packet/report evidence.

Statistics Canada

Monthly

StatCan

Canadian manufacturing, trade, and vehicle sales by province.

Evidence use: Monthly Canada-side context only; claim use needs period labels, source freshness, and cited packet/report evidence.

INEGI IMMEX

Monthly

INEGI Mexico

Mexican maquiladora manufacturing employment, production, and hours by sector.

Evidence use: Monthly Mexico manufacturing context only; claim use needs period labels, source freshness, and cited packet/report evidence.

BTS TransBorder Freight

Monthly (scheduled)

Bureau of Transportation Statistics

Freight by mode, commodity, value, weight, port, origin, and destination across US-Canada and US-Mexico lanes.

Evidence use: Scheduled freight context only until source rows, source health, and citations exist.

FHWA Freight Analysis Framework

Periodic (planned)

FHWA / BTS

Long-horizon freight-flow priors and forecasts by mode, commodity, tonnage, value, origin, and destination.

Evidence use: Planned freight-flow prior only; not claim-bearing current evidence.

Methodology

Trade data is sourced from official agency releases on their published schedules. We normalize Mexican peso, Canadian dollar, and US dollar values, align HS commodity codes across borders, and surface month-over-month and year-over-year changes. Claim use needs period labels, source freshness, and packet/report evidence. Historical freight data becomes source facts and feature windows before any model output can use it as evidence; scheduled and planned freight priors stay context.
