What can 25 years of Colombia data show?

Colombia records in CargoFax start in 2001. A series that long lets you see how a product category grew, which origin countries gained or lost share over decades, how trade agreements and tariff changes played out in the records, and whether this year's movement is unusual or part of a long cycle.

How does Colombia data reach you?

In Atlas, Explorer searches every Colombia declaration, Vault keeps the products and partner countries you follow, and Vault emails you when the monthly release adds matching records.

For teams that load data into their own systems, Files delivers the full archive from 2001 and monthly increments by FTP or API in CSV, Excel, JSON, or Parquet.
