After getting the customs data, many people will say that the customs data is useless. In fact, most foreign trade operators who have just come into contact with the customs data will have this kind of confusion. So is the customs data helpful?

The customs data are all from the manifest, bill of lading, customs declaration and other information. Every transaction on the foreign trade software has really happened. The foreign trade software will display the consignee, shipper, place of origin, port of departure and port of destination of this ticket. The most important thing is that it will display a series of information such as quantity, unit price, etc. We can know what price and where the buyer purchases the products through the data of foreign trade software.

Some salesmen think that the customs data is useless because they get the customs data in order to get the mailbox, and most of the mailboxes above are agents or freight forwarders. No one will reply after sending it. These people will feel that the customs data is useless at this time.

First: The customs data can help us to analyze the industry, the demand of each market for a certain product, and the corresponding price acceptance capacity of this region. We can see from the customs data. This can help us to determine our target market, so that our market is clear, then we can be confident and bold to develop this market.

Second: Customs data can help us monitor our peers. We can know where our customers purchase from, where other suppliers are, how many transactions they make and what the price is through the customs data of foreign trade software. And we can clearly see where the big market of our peers is, so we can have a good understanding of our peers, and have a detailed understanding of what the big environment of this market is.

Of course, the customs data also has its shortcomings, that is, the above mailbox and contact information are incorrect. So it's useless. In fact, it doesn't matter if the contact information is incorrect. As long as we clearly know the company name of the purchaser, the rest of the work is to use various ways to find the customer's email. In this way, we will know that we will find the customer's email through the foreign trade software. Because the customer is really purchasing, and the customer has real needs, we will try every way to find the customer's contact information.

Therefore, whether the customs data is useful or not depends on how we use it. In this way, we can reasonably use the customs data on our foreign trade software and our methods of searching customers, so that we can accurately find potential customers, and clearly know the customer's procurement cycle and one-year consumption. We know both ourselves and the other customers, and we will certainly have a harvest if we apply the right medicine to each customer.
