🔍 What can you do with it?

• I source products overseas and want to see which factories already ship my product category to US buyers, how often, and from which country.
• I sell to importers and need a list of active US buyers of one HS code, filtered to companies that shipped in the last 6 months.
• I do competitor and customer research and want to see who supplies a rival, how fast that volume is growing and which ports it moves through.
• I qualify suppliers and need shipment counts, carriers and product mix before I place a first order.
• I analyse trade flows and need clean shipment and lane rows for one product or country, not a screenshot of a page.

🚀 How to use it

STEP 1 Say what to look up Names, products, profile links, HS codes, product words or countries. Mix them in one run.

STEP 2 Filter and choose the detail Keep recent, active traders and switch on shipments, partners or lanes.

STEP 3 Download or schedule Export the table, or schedule the run to receive only new activity each time.

Good to know before you start

• Leave every lookup field empty and the Actor runs a small sample search, so a first test always returns rows.
• A search returns at most 150 matches. For longer lists, add several searches, for example one per country or product word.
• Each profile lists its 50 latest shipments. Each HS code, product word, country or port page lists up to 50 importers and 50 suppliers.
• Profiles, shipments, partners and lanes are off by default. Switch on only what you need, because each one adds rows.
• A bare name such as apple tries the importer first. Use supplier/foxconn-interconnect-technology to open a supplier with that exact link path.
• Product words work when the site has a page for that word, for example hdmi or carpet. A word with no page is reported in the log and skipped.

What is not included: phone numbers are masked and email addresses are locked on the source site, so they are not returned. Only the 50 latest shipments per profile are listed publicly. Shipment value, buyer contacts and per-record detail beyond the public view stay out of reach without a paid account on the source site, and this Actor never asks you for one.

✨ Tips and best practices

• Start with the default 10 rows to see the shape of the data, then raise the limit.
• Use Shipped within and Minimum total shipments to drop dormant and one-off companies from lead lists.
• Search a product word with Include supplier and customer links to see which factories sit behind the biggest buyers.
• For monitoring, keep the same Monitor name and the same lookups on every scheduled run. The first run saves the baseline and returns everything.
• Names on customs records are spelled many ways. Check the alsoKnownAs list on a profile before you decide two companies are different.

❓ FAQ

Does it need an ImportYeti account or API key?

No. It reads only what is visible to anyone on the site, so there is nothing to log in to and no key to enter.

How do I find all importers of one product?

Put the HS code in HS codes, for example 8504.40, and choose importers in the rankings option. You get the largest importers of that product, plus the latest shipments for it if you switch shipments on. For deeper lists, add more specific codes.

Can I get a company's phone number or email?

No. The source site masks phone numbers and locks email addresses for anonymous visitors, so the Actor leaves them out rather than guessing. You get websites, addresses and shipment history instead.

How do I track a competitor's new suppliers?

Add the competitor's profile link, switch on Include supplier and customer links and Include shipment records, turn on the new-only option and give the watch a Monitor name. Schedule the run daily or weekly. Each run returns only new shipments and new partners.
