Govt Stats Site Updated

They've been busy at the USITC. Every month I get this email which updates me on trade data, but this one has many new goodies, so I will reproduce it in full. One particular item is videos on how to look up HTS classifications, which never hurts to learn more. I also like the trade in services report, even though the reports are not very substantial.
