Master the world's free trade data tools.
Field guides to the International Trade Centre's market-analysis suite: what each tool contains, what it does best, and how to get real answers out of it. Written by the JTrade Help data team.
Every ITC tool, one guide at a time.
Task-first walkthroughs, quick facts, and honest strengths and limitations. Pick a tool and get a job finished today.
A database answers questions. A model makes decisions.
The ITC tools are superb at telling you what is true. Turning a hundred true facts into one confident choice of market is a different job. Here is where the handoff happens.
Look up the data
What the ITC tools do best: pull authoritative trade flows, tariffs and requirements for any product and market, on demand and for free.
Weigh the trade-offs
The work still left to the analyst: balancing size against growth, tariffs against distance, and opportunity against risk, market by market.
Rank the markets
What JTH Market Selection automates: scoring every candidate market against your own priorities and returning a ranked shortlist.
Reviewed every quarter
The ITC ships updates every quarter: new datasets, new tools and revamped interfaces. We review every guide after each ITC Market Analysis services update. Last review: July 2026 (Q2 update: revamped Trade Map, a new AI-powered HS code search engine, and expanded African customs data).
