NEWARK, N.J., July 31 /PRNewswire/ — PIERS Global Intelligence
Solutions(R), a Commonwealth Business Media company and the leading
provider of U.S. ocean-going trade information, is now offering detailed
data on air cargoes flown into and out of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela.

“We’re excited to offer our clients this important dimension of global
business information,” says Wael Jarous, vice president of PIERS Commercial
Sales. “While the bulk of the world’s import-export trade is waterborne,
fully 40 percent by value moves by air, including perishable goods and
light-weight, high-value commodities.”

Jarous adds that ongoing expansion of its Latin American trade database
offerings is a top priority at PIERS.

Just this Spring, PIERS announced the addition of Argentina to a
database that already covered waterborne trade originating from or destined
for Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela.

“For U.S. companies, the nearby markets and sources of supply within
our own hemisphere look increasingly attractive as transportation costs
rise,” Jarous continues. “Our expanded Latin American data offerings — all
meeting PIERS industry-leading standards for accuracy and comprehensiveness
— will help our clients uncover new opportunities to buy and sell
globally, but closer to home.”

PIERS is the primary source of U.S. waterborne trade information and a
leader in global trade solutions.

The database that is at the core of PIERS information products is
unique. Based on the manifests and bills of lading that document
import-export activity, and checked by reporters in every port, the PIERS
database yields the most timely, accurate, comprehensive information
available on trade through U.S. Ports.

More specialized PIERS databases also offer historical data back to the
1950’s, trade finance data, and Asian and Latin American trade data.

PIERS economists and researchers supply expert data analysis and
interpretation to support decision-marking, while detailed and customizable
datasets yield solutions for cross-border marketing, supply-chain
management and competitive intelligence.

A roster of over 6,000 private industry, trade association, and
