Origins and Methodologies, International Trade Statistics

The Datamyne's ISO-certified data center in Montevideo, Uruguay, receives multiple feeds every day from our established sources; some arrive in electronic form, others require manual intervention. We separate this data into the key fields that are the basis for the inquiries and international trade statistics required by our customers.

Some of our data experts are assigned to standardize names and commodities; others are given the responsibility to check and verify container numbers, weights, load ports and discharge ports. Still others are focused on validating the names of vessels against outside reference tables to ensure that our records deliver the truest end result for our customers seeking international trade statistics.
 
The Datamyne team is very particular about the content that goes into our database: we know that quality is as important as quantity when it comes to international trade statistics. As a result, we have established a reputation not just for size, but also for the integrity of our data and the legitimacy of our sourcing procedures. We collect our data from bills of lading obtained from authorized customs sources, government agencies and other bona fide relationships that are direct sources for trade activity relating to North America, Latin America, Asia and the European Union.
