Use shipment and customs records to find importers, exporters, buyers, suppliers, and trade patterns.
How to use trade records
Begin with a product name, HS code, importer, exporter, country, port, or date range. Review the results, open the associated company, and confirm its identity before moving it into enrichment, a list, or outreach.
Follow Search trade data and move a company into outreach for the complete UI sequence.
Research paths
- Search shipments and filter by product, HS code, geography, date, importer, or exporter.
- Open an importer to identify recurring suppliers, lanes, ports, and shipment activity.
- Open an exporter to inspect destination markets and repeat customers.
- Compare shipment count, weight, value, and timing only when those fields are present in the result.
- Save the company or list the account, then continue to contacts and outreach.
signals-to-pipeline workflow
- Search the narrowest useful product or HS code.
- Filter the result window and inspect several records for consistency.
- Open the company profile and verify website, country, and name.
- Find a relevant decision maker and verify the contact.
- Add the company or contact to a named list with a note about the information.
- Use campaign setup only after the audience and sender are ready.
Trade records are signals, not proof of buying intent. Empty results may mean the product description or date range is too narrow. Coverage also varies by source and jurisdiction.
information interpretation
shipment data describes recorded movement, not confirmed intent. Compare product, HS code, importer/exporter identity, date range, volume, weight/value, port, and lane before treating a record as a buying or supplier signal.
