What is customs data?
Customs data refers to bill of lading or customs declaration data from various countries, which is very real and objective foreign trade data that cannot be falsified. It includes the names, procurement records, procurement weight, procurement amount, and freight information of suppliers and other enterprises, with a rich amount of information, which plays a very important role for foreign trade enterprises.

1. Understanding Industry Changes
Foreign trade enterprises can monitor supplier changes in target countries or regions through customs data.
When new suppliers continue to join the industry and market, it indicates that the industry and market may have high profits and demand, thereby continuously attracting new participants.
But for enterprises, it also means that market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. It is important to adjust market strategies in a timely manner to put oneself in a favorable position in the competition.

Customs data plays a crucial role in international trade. It is not only an essential tool for foreign trade customer development, but also a data support in trade. However, there is a lot of information in customs data, and when using it, everyone needs to filter the information that is suitable for themselves based on the industry.
3. Master the purchasing rules of buyers:
According to the customs data system query, it is possible to have a clear understanding of where the customer's procurement area is and whether the customer is concerned about the quality or price of the product, which will help with future transactions. Then use the customer's usual procurement time to analyze the customer's next procurement time. In short, identify the purchasing patterns of buyers. Recommend company products to buyers at the appropriate time to increase hit rates.
4. Consolidate existing customers:
In addition to cooperating with you, the customer may also have other suppliers. By using customs data, foreign trade enterprises can track and analyze the transaction records of existing customers, and understand their supply sources and situations beyond their own enterprises.
5. Deeply explore contacts and obtain contact information for foreign buyers:
After passing customs data, many sales will directly send emails, but it is difficult to obtain results if the sending email is not the corresponding person. In fact, when using customs data to contact customers, one should first check the company's name, learn more about the company, then find the relevant person in charge of the company, and then discuss cooperation matters. This will be very efficient.
