FAQ

What coverage does ImportYeti have?
Public US sea import bills of lading (not air/land). History generally starts around 2015.

Do I need an ImportYeti login?
No for public search and profile pages this Actor targets. Power Query / full CSV exports / official paid API are out of scope.

Search vs enrich?
search is cheap discovery (name, address, shipment counts). enrich opens each profile for partners, HS/HTS, lanes, carriers, and recent BOLs.

Why residential proxies?
ImportYeti sits behind Cloudflare and applies per-IP view limits. Residential US proxies keep enrich runs stable.
