Many people have a prejudice against customs data, saying that customs data is useless! Today, let's talk about the answer to the question of customs data.

1Q: Why do I want to develop customers and buy customs data, which are all imported from abroad, without export data from China Customs?

For foreign trade enterprises that export from China, it is necessary to develop foreign buyers. Theoretically, it can correspond to the Chinese export data of the Chinese customs and the foreign import data of the foreign customs. The purpose is very simple. Find a buyer. However, the customs data itself belongs to some policy information, and each country has different policies. In China, the export data market is more detailed, that is, the transaction information with suppliers. However, due to domestic policy reasons, the data obtained does not correspond to the buyer of the transaction.

Therefore, buyers can only be obtained through foreign import data, while foreign data naturally needs to be obtained through the customs of each country. The data for opening in each country is different. There are some countries where only buyer information can be seen, some countries where buyers and sellers can see, and some countries where buyers and sellers can't see, which can only be used for analysis.

2Q: Consult and contact various data service providers, and the data provided are basically the market data of South America and North America? But in Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, there is basically no corresponding data available?

It is similar to the first question. In view of the laws and policies of various countries, including the fact that the cost of obtaining the full database data in some countries is very high, so at present all the service providers in the market are basically North America, South America (about ten countries), Europe (Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom), Asia (India, Pakistan, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines, etc.).

Prompt: Here, customs data means more detailed and highly open national data. Few companies, such as Yizhijia, can provide more national data. This part of data is relatively simple and has no quantity and price. However, it is no problem to search product information to find useful buyer information, so as to develop.

3Q: Are the customs data of these countries available by sea, land and air?

At present, except for the United States and Pakistan, which are ocean bills of lading, most other countries are based on air, land and sea data. So when purchasing, if you focus on the United States market and mainly on air transportation, this data is meaningless to you.

4Q: I bought some company's data and found that there are too many freight forwarders. They are not real buyers. What should I do?

First of all, we have to admit that no matter which company provides data, there are freight forwarders. From the perspective of actual foreign trade operations, if there is no freight forwarder in the data, it is a very strange thing. The proportion of freight forwarders is naturally related to the industry. But almost none of the data found in any industry are freight forwarders, and there is no actual buyer.

5Q: Why is the buyer's repetition rate so high when buying data?

If there is any doubt, it is the service provider's dereliction of duty, or you do not have a better understanding of what is customs data. The customs data itself is the transaction data provided, and is not based on the buyer as a unified criterion. Therefore, in a country's annual trading volume, most of the buyers must trade many times, especially FMCG. It is normal for a buyer to purchase several, dozens, or even hundreds of transactions a year. Therefore, after the data is available, it is necessary to screen and summarize the buyers.

6Q: Why do countries in South America use 6-digit codes to query?

The customs data itself provides the customs data imported from abroad, not the domestic export data. The natural data is obtained from the customs of each country. For foreign trade, you should know that the international HS code is the first six digits, and the latter digits are operated according to the guidelines of each country. Therefore, we can only extract large categories through 6-bit coding. However, the United States and Pakistan are bill of lading data and have no code. They can only be searched by English name.

7Q: Is the result of the 6-digit code query accurate?

The 6-digit code query must be accurate, but it is only inaccurate. However, for most products, even the 8-digit code in China is the same. It is not accurate, because many domestic products can only be accurate if they correspond to 10 digits. But why bother so much. Six are in a big category, which means that the buyer you want must be in your data search results. What we need to do is how to accurately and quickly extract the information I need from these data. If you don't have patience to do this job, it will be more troublesome.

8Q: How to use 6-bit code to achieve accurate query of 8-bit code?

It is recommended to confirm the HS code through the transactions of peers in this country; Query the results corresponding to the code, query the buyer with different codes corresponding to 6 digits, and confirm the code of the country.

9Q: There is no contact information for customs data. What is the gross use?

In fact, customs data is only an information channel. How to develop it depends on the ability of individuals. Even if all the buyers have provided you with the corresponding contact information, you can send mass emails and wait for messages. Sorry, but there are no eggs.

From the perspective of theoretical analysis, for example, when you develop the U.S. market, you purchase customs data. The actual customs data contains all the buyers you obtain from exhibitions, B2B and other channels. Why do you say that? You met a buyer in the exhibition. The buyer is from the United States. 90% of the buyers can be found in the customs data, and the other 10% may be newly established companies. The only difference is the problem of passive and active. So customs data gives you a chance to obtain all the corresponding real and effective buyers.

At present, the precise contact mining function of E-home customs data has been launched, which can provide you with the precise contact email of the purchaser, greatly solving the pain point of foreign trade enterprises, and improving the utilization rate of customs data.

10Q: At present, there are thousands of customs data service providers. I'm soho, and I'm a small employee. I just graduated, and my boss won't buy it. How can I break it?

When you ask this question, I think you will be an excellent salesperson, at least one who is willing to actively invest in his career, just like many people who buy courses at their own expense to learn foreign trade. If you don't invest yourself, you can't just wait for the company.
