What are the contents of US customs data and their role in foreign trade import and export

2022-10-17

US customs data is the abbreviation of US customs import bill of lading data. American 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, American customs data is one of the important tools for foreign trade companies or production plants to develop customers and analyze the market for export and foreign trade business.

The update cycle of US customs data is very fast. On average, the US customs data will be updated every three days. 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 in a standardized way to make them conform to the specifications of the customs database for users to browse normally.

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

The U.S. Customs data query in the customs data system is used to query the following conditions: commodity name, purchaser, supplier, trading country or region, start date, end date, and the function of excluding shipping companies can be checked, so that the query results do not show the records of shipping companies filled in by the purchaser.

Export manufacturers can analyze the U.S. market demand for a product through U.S. customs data, master the list of purchasers with import records throughout the United States, master the global suppliers exporting to the United States, analyze the global supply chain of a U.S. purchaser, and find the decision-maker and contact information of the purchaser. For logistics and freight forwarding enterprises, it is easier to analyze the import situation of American ports to enter the global logistics link.
