US Import Records — Importers, Suppliers & Bills of Lading

US customs import records (sea bills of lading) for any US importer or overseas supplier: total and last-12-month shipments with the trend, who they buy from (or, for a supplier, its US customers), products by HS code, source countries, ports and carriers, the most recent bills of lading, and lookalike importers: other US companies buying from the same factories.

Built for sourcing and procurement teams finding factories, freight forwarders and customs brokers prospecting importers, B2B sales teams qualifying accounts, competitive and supply-chain analysts, and AI agents.

Why this Actor

• Trend, not just totals: last 12 months against the 12 before, so you see who is growing, shrinking or stopped.
• Lookalike importers: the US companies that use the same factories as your customer or competitor, ranked by shared suppliers. A ready prospect list.
• Both directions: start from an importer to see its suppliers, or from a factory to see its US buyers.
• Shipment alerts: schedule with Recent shipments and Only new shipments to get a competitor's or supplier's new bills of lading.
• Names or links: type a company name, or paste its importyeti.com page link when the name is ambiguous.
• For AI agents. Callable as an MCP tool.

Good to know

• Records are public US customs sea-import manifests (bills of lading) as published on ImportYeti; air and land imports are not in them. Companies can ask US Customs to keep their manifests confidential; confidentialSince shows when that started, and newer shipments are then missing.
• A name finds the page with the same name; if a company trades under another name, paste its page link.
