ImportYeti Scraper: US import records, suppliers, trading partners and bills of lading

Scrape ImportYeti (US customs bill-of-lading data) without an account, cookies or a browser. Search US importers and overseas suppliers by name or by address, look up any HS code, or open any company or supplier page and get its full trade profile in one row: total ocean shipments, first and last shipment, shipments in the last 12 months, the top 50 suppliers (or customers) with shipment counts, weight, TEU and HS codes, HS and HTS breakdown, shipping lanes, carriers (SCAC), notify parties and the 50 most recent bills of lading. Or get the same data as flat rows, one per trading partner or one per shipment.

It is used by sourcing teams looking for a competitor's factories, Amazon and DTC sellers vetting suppliers, freight forwarders and customs brokers, supply-chain and UFLPA risk analysts, and market researchers. No emails or phone numbers are ever returned: this is company trade data, not a contact list.

ImportYeti scraper pricing at a glance

Event	Per 1,000, Free plan	Charged for
Row delivered	US$ 2.00	each search result, trading-partner or bill-of-lading row
Full profile delivered	US$ 3.00	each company, supplier or HS code profile row

• 100+ fields per company or supplier profile (40 top-level, the rest in partner, lane, carrier, HS code and shipment lists), including the UFLPA forced-labor flag per partner and the estimated shipping cost in USD. All of them are in the field reference.
• No start fee and no monthly fee. 100 full profiles cost US$ 0.30; a profile plus its 50 bills of lading as rows costs US$ 0.103.
• Error rows, duplicates and rows outside your filters are free, and maxItems is a hard stop.
• A restarted run does not charge twice: the Actor reads its own dataset on start and skips what was delivered.

What the ImportYeti scraper fixes

• Empty rows charged as results. Every page is fetched from a fresh IP with retries, and a profile that opens without trade data comes back as a free NO_DATA row you can retry. On 2026-10-08, 29 of 29 cloud test runs covering names, addresses, links, HS codes, every output mode and filters finished with data or the expected free error row.
• Nested lists that do not fit a spreadsheet. "Trading partners" and "Recent bills of lading" give flat rows.
• "Missing in source document" as text. Blank manifest fields come back as null, so you can filter them.

What you can do with US import data

• Find a competitor's factories: search the brand, open the importer profile and read its top 50 suppliers with country, shipments, weight, HS codes and dates.
• Vet a supplier before you wire money: how long it has shipped to the US, shipments in the last 12 months, its US customers and ports.
• Map an industrial zone: search an address ("shenzhen longhua") and list every importer and supplier registered there.
• Find who imports a product code: 8473.30 in hsCodes returns US import totals since 2015, top origin countries, the 50 largest US importers and overseas suppliers, and the 50 latest bills of lading.
• Watch companies over time: schedule the same links weekly and compare lastShipmentDate, shipmentsLast12Months and the partner list.

ImportYeti scraper input

The top 5 US importers named "furniture" with more than 100 shipments, one row per supplier:

{ "searchTerms": ["furniture"], "entityType": "company", "minShipments": 100, "maxResultsPerSearch": 5, "resultType": "partners" }

HS code 8473.30 plus Apple's profile with each of its 50 latest bills of lading as its own row:

{ "hsCodes": ["8473.30"], "urls": ["https://www.importyeti.com/company/apple"], "resultType": "profilesAndShipments" }

An empty input returns 3 profiles for "yeti coolers". Output modes (resultType): profiles (default), profilesAndShipments, searchResults, partners, shipments. Filters (entityType, countries, minShipments, mostRecentShipment) apply to search hits; links you paste are always opened.

Switching from another ImportYeti scraper? Your existing input works

Your field	Read as
companies, company, importer, targets	Company pages: slug (apple), path (/company/apple) or link; a name with spaces becomes a name search
suppliers, supplier	Supplier pages, same formats
query, searchQuery, searchQueries, productSearch, search, keyword	searchTerms
searchType: "addresses"	The query is searched as an address
searchType or type = company / supplier (importer, consignee, shipper, exporter)	entityType
startUrls (strings or {"url": ...}), including /hs-codes/... links	urls
mode: "both" (with includeSummary)	profilesAndShipments; includeSummary: false gives only bill-of-lading rows
mode: "profiles" / "shipments"	profiles / shipments
includeBols, includeSummary, includeTopPartners, includeTradeLanes	Bill-of-lading rows, profile row, partner rows
maxResults, limit	Results per search and run cap

Fields with no meaning here (resume cursors, concurrency, proxy settings) are ignored instead of failing the run.

HS code row

type: "hsCode" with hsCode, name, totalShipments, firstShipmentDate, lastShipmentDate, topOriginCountries, topImporters, topSuppliers (50 each) and recentShipments.

ImportYeti scraper integrations, scheduling and AI agents

• Schedule the same links weekly in Apify schedules and compare lastShipmentDate, shipmentsLast12Months and the partner list.
• Export as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, or read the dataset from the Apify API.
• Connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets or a webhook through Apify integrations.
• AI agents: the Actor works as a tool through the Apify MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, for example "list the top Chinese suppliers of this brand and flag any with UFLPA risk".
• Video guides from Apify: how to schedule an Actor and how to connect it to other apps.

ImportYeti scraper limitations

• ImportYeti shows the top 50 partners and the 50 most recent bills of lading per page; older individual shipments are in its paid plans and are not scraped. To see a partner's own shipments, put its topPartners[].url in urls.
• Search is by name or address, like the ImportYeti search box. For products use hsCodes.
• Shipping cost is ImportYeti's estimate (shippingCostCoveragePercent says how many shipments it covers).
• Some companies request manifest confidentiality; partner rows with no name and no link are skipped and not charged.
• Emails, phone numbers and contact blocks are removed on purpose; any contact found in text becomes [contact removed].

ImportYeti scraper FAQ

Do I need an ImportYeti account? No. Everything comes from public pages.

Is there an official ImportYeti API? Not a free self-serve one that we know of: ImportYeti is built for browsing one page at a time, and older shipment history sits in its paid plans. This Actor turns the public pages into rows in bulk, with no account, and adds flat partner and bill-of-lading rows ready for a spreadsheet.

Why is a full profile more expensive than a partner row? One profile row holds up to 50 partners, 50 shipments and all the breakdowns. If you need only one of those lists, partners or shipments is cheaper per useful fact.

How fast is it? 3 profiles in 3 seconds, 12 profiles from a search in 13 seconds, 50 partner rows in 2 seconds.

Can I call it from the API or an AI agent? Yes: scrapewise/importyeti-scraper through the Apify API and clients, the Apify app in n8n, Make or Zapier, or the Apify MCP server.
