International Trade Data System (ITDS)

The International Trade Data System (ITDS) is a U.S. government initiative designed to streamline the process of importing and exporting goods. It serves as a centralized platform where businesses can submit trade-related information, such as shipping documents and regulations, to multiple government agencies at once. By simplifying these processes, ITDS aims to reduce paperwork, save time, and enhance efficiency for companies engaged in international trade, while also improving compliance with U.S. laws and regulations. Ultimately, it helps facilitate smoother and faster trade across borders.
