What is customs data?

Customs data refers to the data that records the import and export transactions of goods from various countries around the world, mainly sourced from the customs documents, bills of lading, commodity inspection and other documentary records of each country. These data are authoritative, accurate, comprehensive, timely, and detailed, serving as a direct basis for countries to grasp changes in international trade and formulate trade policies. They are also efficient and precise resources for enterprise market research, international market expansion, and foreign trade enterprise business development.

Type of customs data:

Customs data includes various types such as ocean bill of lading data, ocean customs declaration data, shipping data, route data, shipowner data, mirror data, transit data, and customs statistical directory.

The ocean bill of lading data is the most complete data, including complete fields such as purchaser, supplier, amount, weight, quantity, sea, land, air, etc. The data field content of the sea freight customs declaration takes second place, lacking supplier information.

The data content of shipping data, route data, and shipowner data is similar to that of ocean bill of lading data, but the lack is severe.

Mirror data and transit data are secondary processing of customs data, providing more data dimensions and analytical perspectives.

The customs statistical directory is the information data provided by customs of various countries on trade entities such as importers and exporters, manufacturers, agents, etc. It is an important source of data for enterprises to conduct supplier screening and market research.
