TradeWeave provides public trade analytics and research alongside paid Pro tools. Its BACI HS96 core covers 1996–2024; country and product coverage varies by dataset and HS revision. Pro features and protected APIs require an eligible account and subscription.

What data sources does TradeWeave use?

TradeWeave combines data from BACI/CEPII (bilateral trade flows), WITS/TRAINS (tariff rates), World Bank WDI (macroeconomic indicators), ESCAP-World Bank (bilateral trade costs), FRED and BLS (freight indices, exchange rates), and FAOSTAT (agricultural trade).

How can I analyze a country's trade profile?

Visit the Country Profiles page and select a country or territory to see their export composition, top trade partners, revealed comparative advantage (RCA), Economic Complexity Index (ECI), trade diversification, and trends over the available years.

What is the Economic Complexity Index (ECI)?

The Economic Complexity Index (ECI), developed by Hidalgo and Hausmann, measures the productive knowledge embedded in a country's export basket. Countries that export a diverse set of sophisticated products score higher. TradeWeave reports ECI ranks for eligible economies from 1996 to 2024.

Can I simulate the impact of tariff changes?

Yes. TradeWeave's Tariff Simulator lets you model how tariff changes affect import volumes using real product-level demand elasticities and MFN tariff rates for over 1,200 HS4 products.

How far back does the trade data go?

The primary BACI dataset covers 1996-2024 with HS6 product detail. TradeWeave also includes historical trade data spanning over 200 years (1800-present) from academic compilations.

tradeweave pro

The practitioner side of trade.

The free platform tells you what the world trades. Pro covers how the work actually gets done: the desks that check letter of credit documents, screen counterparties, classify goods, and negotiate terms.

refunds30 days, no questions

One plan. The licence covers your firm for up to 5 users, and it permits reproducing worksheets and CSV exports in your own client deliverables with attribution. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the year you paid for runs to its end date, and your exports are yours to keep. The full terms are at tradeweave.org/terms.

An account comes first, so a subscription has somewhere to attach. Create a free account or sign in.

Nothing that is public on TradeWeave today moves behind this. Pro is new work on top of the free platform, sold to US billing addresses only for now; the free platform stays available worldwide.

Monthly data desk

The freshest official numbers on the platform, months ahead of the reconciled BACI panel: IMF IMTS monthly totals for over 200 reporters, UN Comtrade monthly HS6 detail, Eurostat COMEXT for every EU member state, and the US Census monthly series down to HS4, customs district, and state.

Desk worksheets

Screeners computed at request time from the BACI HS96 panel (1996-2024, 238 reporters) and the applied-tariff schedules. Each one names, on the page, what you can get free from UN Comtrade, WITS and the free TradeWeave pages, and what it is doing on top of that.

Negotiations and other trade services

The free ParityRoom negotiation simulator and shipment cost simulator stay free.

What stays free

Everything that is public today stays public: all data pages, explorers, research, rankings, and the API. Pro adds new practitioner content on top; it does not paywall the data platform.
