Accessing World Trade Online

Access to World Trade Online is available only to subscribers of Inside U.S. Trade. Access is by IP recognition or by user name and password only and is non-transferable without permission of the publisher. All subscribers will continue to receive a printed copy of Inside U.S. Trade, delivered in the traditional manner.

Access to the site is governed by our general Terms and Conditions and specific conditions associated with approval to log on.

Pricing

The service provided by World Trade Online is governed by the payment of a digital access fee and conditions associated with it. Following are the pricing categories (all fees are in addition to the price of an underlying subscription to Inside U.S. Trade which is currently $1180 in the U.S. and Canada, USD $1220 elsewhere):

  • Standard License. $600 a year. Allows up to four individuals with authorized access. By four individuals we mean four specific people, not a changing or changeable group of four. All four authorized users must be in the same physical location and part of the same functional group.
  • Site Licenses. If the standard license does not fit your needs, case-by-case negotiation of site licenses will apply.

Specific terms and conditions may apply to access. For example, a location generally is defined as a street address. But there may be instances where the size of an office served by a street address (such as at a government agency or large corporate office) is deemed too large to be considered a single location. In these instances, other definitions will apply - such as a specific office or department within an organization.

Technical Questions

World Trade Online can be accessed from any recent modern browser ( Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Opera). The only additional software that most users may require is a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader software, which can be downloaded at no charge from www.adobe.com. Printable copies of Inside U.S. Trade are prepared using Adobe Acrobat, in order to retain the original look of the paper copy.

World Trade Online also features the complete text of a wide variety of documents. Many of these documents are available as Adobe Acrobat files to preserve their original formatting, and in some cases (when the original document was only available in paper form), these documents may be quite large. Such documents may take a considerable time to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. Also, when printing these large documents, some users may need to adjust the resolution of their printers downward (e.g. from 600 to 300 or 150 dpi) in order to avoid printer errors. Please note also that most Adobe Acrobat files are much easier to read when they are printed out. If you have specific questions or problems, please contact us via e-mail at insidetrade@iwpnews.com and we will be happy to assist you.
