In order to provide clients with the most accurate and complete textile and apparel trade data available, International Development Systems distributes comprehensive Country Sourcing Reportsand Category Sourcing Reports. These reports are based on the monthly U.S. General Import Data compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau. The U.S. Committee for the Implementation of Textile Agreements (CITA) makes its decisions to establish new quotas based on the same Census data used to compile the IDS Country and Category Sourcing Reports – not on the data available from Customs.

The Country and Category Sourcing Reports are particularly helpful to companies looking for new sourcing opportunities. The Reports provide all of the relevant statistical information available on trade flows and unit values by category and country.

IDS also offers personalized services and analysis of the U.S. General Import data upon request.
