Whether the customs data company is professional or not is the biggest problem for users to choose partner companies. Because most users have never been exposed to customs data before, they will encounter many problems when selecting customs data service providers. Here are some suggestions for users' reference.

Check the update speed of customs data. Only when the update speed is within one month, can data be purchased directly from the customs. If the update takes more than one month, it means that it is an agent company. They will buy data from some data companies in the industry every month. But because it is purchased monthly, the update speed is very slow, so the value is low.

Check whether there are restricted keywords. If the keyword is restricted, it indicates that the company does not have complete database data. It needs to be purchased from other conventional customs data companies according to the keywords or hscode purchased by users, and then resold to customers.

Check whether there is an independently developed online system. If the company only provides data to the customer, the data of the excel file purchased by the customer proves that the company has no data and needs to be resold; Second, there is not enough technical force to develop the system. Like the customs data system, it needs a mature, stable and powerful technical team to maintain it, including the improvement of system functions, the maintenance of program code and the update of daily data. With the investment in some hardware equipment, this is the basis to ensure the stable operation of the system.

Please check whether the company provides a formal business license and other documents, whether the company's website has been formally filed, whether there is a formal contract and whether formal and true invoices can be issued.

The above points can basically determine whether the company has the ability to provide long-term service of customs data. When choosing, don't be confused by statements. Be careful. There is no absolute thing, and there are many factors that determine the success or failure of foreign trade orders.
