When it comes to customs data, foreign traders should not be unfamiliar. This is a commonly used tool for foreign trade developers to develop customers. What are the customs data query platforms available? How should we use it? Today, let's introduce it to everyone.

What is customs data?

Customs data refers to the bill of lading or customs declaration data of foreign countries, which can accurately display the export records of peers and the procurement records of target customers. It is one of the essential tools for foreign trade personnel in their daily work. Some foreign traders are using customs data, while others hold a skeptical attitude towards customs data, believing that these are all false and not as reliable as face-to-face chatting!

At present, all the customs data query platforms on the market mainly focus on the import and export declaration forms or bills of lading of enterprises. Those with actual foreign trade declaration experience know that the customer contact information in the documents, such as contact person name and email, is optional and belongs to personal privacy information, and there are basically no enterprises filling it out. There is usually a phone number on the bill of lading for customs clearance and pickup purposes.

If we simply retrieve network information based on the company name, it is completely pointless and can mislead users to send emails in groups. Additionally, if a search engine is embedded to simulate manual search, the validity and ownership of the found email cannot be verified.

How to use and query customs data

When querying customs data, first select a group of customer groups that are suitable for your factory (such as supply volume, supply cycle speed, product quality, price, etc.) based on the customer's import records, such as purchase quantity, price, date, and country of origin. Then, find out the contact information of these customers in a targeted manner. After understanding the customer's procurement foundation, send targeted emails or phone calls to the customer.

For foreign traders, in the era of internet data, relying on exhibitions and manpower to obtain target buyers and suppliers is an extremely cost consuming and inefficient behavior, so it is necessary to ensure that your energy is spent in the right place. And using Huacheng Chuangzhi Customs data to help enterprises obtain more target groups is also a good choice.
