Council signs cooperation agreement with the International Trade Centre

The International Date Council has signed a memorandum of understanding with the International Trade Centre (ITC) to formalise a data-sharing arrangement covering bilateral date trade flows.

Under the agreement, ITC Trade Map series for the HS 0804.10 family will be reconciled against Council customs and member submissions on a monthly cadence once the integration moves from pending to live status.

The partnership is expected to improve coverage of destination markets that do not currently report directly to the Council.
