Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## ImportYeti HS Code Scraper — Trade Data by Product Category Scrape ImportYeti's HS Code Explorer to discover suppliers and track shipments by product category. Enter 2-digit chapter codes, 4-digit heading codes, or 6-digit subheading codes — the actor returns recent bills of lading and aggregate trade statistics directly from ImportYeti's SSR HTML (no browser required). ### What you get For each HS code, the actor emits: - **Summary record** (`record_type: hs_summary`) — aggregate stats: total sea shipments, total weight (kg), total TEU, and database updated date - **Shipment rows** (`record_type: shipment`) — each of the up to 50 most recent bills of lading: supplier name, slug, city, country; arrival date; house and master BOL numbers; weight; quantity; container count; and product description ### How to use Provide HS codes in the **HS Codes** field. Accepts: | Format | Example | |--------|---------| | 2-digit chapter | `84` | | 4-digit heading | `8471` | | 6-digit subheading | `847130` | | Full ImportYeti URL | `https://www.importyeti.com/hs-codes/8471-automatic-data-processing-machines-and` | Use the optional **Country Filter** field to limit results to a specific origin country (e.g., `china`, `vietnam`, `germany`). Set **Max Items** to control the total number of records returned across all HS codes (shipment rows + summary records). Set to `0` for no cap. ### Data structure ```json { "record_type": "shipment", "hs_code": "84", "hs_description": "Nuclear Reactors, Boilers, Machinery And Mechanical Appliances", "hs_level": "chapter", "country_filter": "", "arrival_date": "04/15/2026", "bill_of_lading": "ZIMU2B5A0M4B5", "master_bill_of_lading": "ZIMUSPB020400604", "supplier_name": "Jiangsu Rui Pu Machinery Co Ltd", "supplier_slug": "jiangsu-rui-pu-machinery-co-ltd", "supplier_url": "https://www.importyeti.com/supplier/jiangsu-rui-pu-machinery-co-ltd", "supplier_city": "Jiangsu", "supplier_country": "China", "weight_kg": 18000, "quantity": 1, "quantity_unit": "pkg", "container_count": 1, "product_description": "USED INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY", "source_url": "https://www.importyeti.com/hs-codes/84-nuclear-reactors-boilers-machinery-and", "scraped_at": "2026-06-06T15:30:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use cases - **Supplier discovery** — find who is importing a specific product category into the US - **Tariff exposure analysis** — track shipment volumes for HS codes affected by tariff changes - **Market sizing** — aggregate import volumes by product category and origin country - **Supply chain intelligence** — complements the ImportYeti Bill of Lading Scraper: that actor enriches known companies/suppliers; this actor discovers new ones by product category ### Notes - Up to 50 shipment rows per HS code (ImportYeti free-tier cap) - The Suppliers/Companies section is client-rendered and not included in results - Country filter accepts lowercase slugs matching ImportYeti URL scheme (e.g., `china`, `united-states`) - Bare 2-digit chapter codes are resolved via the HS code index before fetching; full slug URLs and 4/6-digit codes are fetched directly # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `hsCodes` (type: `array`): HS codes to scrape (2-digit chapter, 4-digit heading, or 6-digit subheading). Examples: '84', '8471', '847130'. Also accepts full URLs like https://www.importyeti.com/hs-codes/84-nuclear-reactors-boilers-machinery-and ## `countryFilter` (type: `string`): Optional country to filter results (e.g., 'china', 'vietnam', 'germany'). Applied to all HS code targets. Leave empty for worldwide results. ## `includeSummary` (type: `boolean`): Emit one extra summary record per HS code with aggregate stats (total shipments, weight, TEU). Emitted in addition to per-shipment rows. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum total records to emit across all HS codes (shipment rows + summaries). Set to 0 for no cap. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "hsCodes": [ "84" ], "includeSummary": true, "maxItems": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
