The AFI Trade Intelligence reports provide detailed entry data on imports of food items from bills of lading, including the consignee (the importer, in most cases), country of origin, foreign shipper, arrival date, ship line, point of origin, port of discharge, specific commodity, quantity in a declared unit of measure, total pounds and calculated value.
These reports are provided to subscribers on a monthly basis, with round-the-clock online access. Though the fees for the AFI Trade Intelligence reports are not included in the membership dues, the reports make this information available to you at a fraction of the cost of what you would pay to get it directly. Plus, the program developed by AFI’s IT staff gives you the specific products you request, with the ability to customize your searches and reports in a myriad of ways.
