General

Customs data refers to the import and export transaction data of goods from the customs of all countries in the world, mainly from the authentic document records such as customs documents, bills of lading and commodity inspection. It has the characteristics of "authoritative, accurate, comprehensive, timely and detailed". Foreign trade customs data plays an important role in international trade. It is not only a necessary tool for foreign trade customer development, but also a data support in trade.

For example, if I want to export a batch of goods to Germany, I want to declare the export to our customs, and our customs will record the export information of this batch of goods. This information can be called customs data. The bill of lading is a voucher issued by the transportation department to the shipper when carrying the goods. The consignee shall pick up the goods with the bill of lading to the transportation department at the destination of the goods. The bill of lading shall not take effect until it is signed by the carrier or the ship owner. It should be noted that the data of the bill of lading country can see the country, port, time, company, name of goods and other information of the buyer and seller countries. With this information, we can quickly find the matching suppliers according to the products and regions, and complete trade transactions.

However, many foreign traders do not use customs data correctly, leading to some foreign traders thinking that it is ineffective to develop customers with customs data. The following editor will explain the correct use of customs data development from five perspectives:

1. Through customs data, you can search keywords with one click, so as to obtain buyers who really "have demand for their own products".

2. Learn to use customs data analysis to screen target customers. For example, analyze his purchase volume, purchase price, purchase cycle, supplier country, etc., and determine whether he matches himself. If his purchase price is always very low and he can't make that price himself, the customer can put it aside. After screening out the target customers, go to his website to study his needs, purchase preferences, and write targeted development letters.

3. You can see the export data of peer competitors in the customs data and monitor them. Every year, closed foreign trade companies or factories can take advantage of empty opportunities to enter and accept customers, and obtain a high success rate.

4. Generally, there is a telephone in the data. This telephone is necessary for the buyer's bill of lading, and it must be true. If your spoken English is good, you can call directly. Before calling, it is better to know about the buyer and make some preparations. The data can be used to analyze the business background of the buyer, the import and export situation of the previous years, and the website can also be used for detailed information.

5. Because the current trade war is very fierce, if the United States market was the main focus in the past, it is necessary to consider changing the market to develop it. You can use the data to check and compare which countries import more products. Entering a new market requires starting from scratch. Customs data can quickly help you find buyers in new markets, which is still very useful.
