The United States Customs Data is the abbreviation of the United States Customs Import Bill of Lading Data. The U.S. customs data includes every bill of lading imported by the United States from all countries in the world. Because the data is very comprehensive and updated in a timely manner, the U.S. customs data is one of the important tools for foreign trade companies or production factories to develop customers and analyze the market for export trade.

The US customs data update cycle is very fast. The US customs data will be updated every three days on average, and the average monthly data volume is about 1.7 million records. During the update process, technicians need to convert the original data file into the local database, and at the same time clean the main field contents of the data to make it conform to the specifications of the customs database for users to browse and view normally.

The main contents of the data include: date, bill of lading number, HS CODE, commodity description, consignee, consignee contact information, shipper, shipper contact information, notifier, notifier contact information, weight and quantity of goods, loading port of goods, local unloading port of the United States, transportation country or region, trading country or region, ship name, voyage, container number, shipping mark, etc. The text language in the US customs data is English.

The query conditions for U.S. customs data in the customs data system include: commodity name, purchaser, supplier, trading country or region, start date, end date, and the function of excluding shipping company can be checked, so that the records filled in by the purchaser are not displayed in the query results.
