ImportYeti Company & Supplier Shipment Lookup

Search ImportYeti by company name, supplier name, trademark, or product keyword, and get back the matching US importers and overseas suppliers — each with lifetime shipment counts, how recently they last shipped, their top trading partners, and any associated trademarks.

What this actor does

• Matches a single query against ImportYeti's company, supplier, trademark, and product records
• Returns lifetime shipment counts and the most recent shipment date for every match
• Lists each company's top trading partners and any trademarks tied to it, when ImportYeti has them on file
• Lets you narrow results to importers only, suppliers only, a recent-activity window, or a minimum shipment count
• Omits any field ImportYeti didn't have data for — no nulls or placeholder text in the output

Output per record

• type — always importyeti_record for a matched company or supplier
• name — company or supplier name
• recordType — company (US importer) or supplier (overseas exporter)
• countryCode — ISO 2-letter country code
• address — full address string as published
• addressParsed — the same address broken into street, city, state, postalCode, and country when it could be parsed
• totalShipments — lifetime shipment count
• mostRecentShipment — date of the latest shipment on record
• topSuppliers — the company's top trading partners
• trademarks — trademarks associated with the company, when any are on file
• detailUrl — link to the full profile on ImportYeti
• scrapedAt — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the record was collected

If nothing matches your query and filters, the run outputs a single record instead: type: "importyeti_blocked", plus query, typeFilter, recentFilter, minShipments, message, and scrapedAt, explaining that no companies matched.

FAQ

Do I need an ImportYeti account or API key? No — this reads the same public search results ImportYeti shows to any visitor.

Why would topSuppliers or trademarks be missing from a record? Those fields only appear when ImportYeti has actual data for that company; many smaller importers and suppliers simply don't have trademarks or a published partner list.

What does mostRecentShipment filter on? It keeps only companies whose last recorded shipment falls inside the window you choose — useful for excluding importers or suppliers that have gone quiet.

Can I search by product instead of company name? Yes — query matches against company names, supplier names, trademarks, and product keywords all at once.

Why might I get fewer records than maxResults? ImportYeti simply may not have that many matches for your query and filter combination; the actor returns everything that qualifies, up to your limit.

Is this affiliated with ImportYeti? No. This is an independent actor that reads ImportYeti's public search results; it is not endorsed by or affiliated with ImportYeti.
