ImportYeti Monitor — US Import Trade Data

Search and monitor US import bill-of-lading records through ImportYeti — public CBP customs data covering sea shipments into the US. Pull complete supply-chain profiles: top suppliers with volumes, HS-code product mix, TEU/weight trends, China exposure, carriers, and the latest bill-of-lading shipments. Then schedule watch runs for new-shipment alerts on any company or supplier.

Built for sourcing teams, competitive-intel analysts, sales prospecting (find who imports what you sell), and logistics research — the same bill-of-lading data that Panjiva/ImportGenius sell for hundreds per month.

Modes

search — find companies & suppliers

{ "mode": "search", "query": "walmart" }

Returns ranked matches with total shipment counts, most recent shipment date, addresses, and profile URLs.

profile — full supply-chain intelligence

Paste any /company/ or /supplier/ URL:

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "entityUrls": ["https://www.importyeti.com/company/dollar-general"]
}

One profile row includes:

• Totals & trends — total shipments, shipments last 12m / 12–24m, YoY %, avg TEU/shipment
• China exposure — chinaShipments, chinaTeu (tariff/sourcing analysis)
• topSuppliers[] — each with name, country, shipments-to-company, total TEU/weight, HS codes, and topCompanies[] = who else that supplier serves (spot shared suppliers across competitors)
• hsCodes[] — product mix with shipment counts, weight, TEU
• recentShipments[] — ~45 latest BOL records: bill of lading #, master BOL, ship date, shipper, product description, origin country, weight, quantity, CIF value
• carriersPerCountry — which shipping lines they use where

watch — new-shipment alerts ⭐

{
  "mode": "watch",
  "entityUrls": ["https://www.importyeti.com/company/dollar-general"],
  "knownLastShipments": {}
}

Poll profiles on a schedule. Emits shipment_event rows for BOLs newer than your last known date; empty knownLastShipments = baseline snapshot of the newest shipment so you can verify wiring. Companies with nothing new emit company_heartbeat rows with fresh totals — confirm coverage at a glance.

Use case: watch a competitor → get notified when a new supplier appears in their bill-of-lading history, or when shipment volume spikes.

Notes

• No login, no API key — works from Apify datacenter IPs.
• Data = US sea imports (CBP bill-of-lading public records); air/truck/rail not covered — standard for this data class.
• ~45 most-recent BOL records embedded per profile — deep history lives on the site.
• "Missing in source document" entries are ImportYeti's own artifacts (unparseable manifest names), kept for completeness.
