Three advantages of Customs Data

As such an important tool for analyzing international B2B markets in foreign trade, what advantages does customs data have in developing overseas business opportunities? The key lies in the following three major advantages.

1. Expanding potential customers through “competitor search”

From customs data, you can see the import and export situation of competitors and obtain information such as their company name, exporting product, transaction quantity, dates and price. This allows small-to-medium enterprises to analyze the transaction status of competitors and enables them to adjust marketing strategies in a timely manner based on past data analysis.

For example, by searching for the manufacturer name “CIPHERLAB” , we can find out that they have transactions with the India customer “DELMON SOLUTIONS, with the highest transaction proportion. By clicking on the details, we can also see the transaction amount and quantity.

2. Developing new customers through “product description” 

By typing “lounge chair” in the product description field and selecting “buyer” and the country “United States,” we can find 2,703 buyers who have purchased lounge chairs. From this list, we can select suitable buyers for further customer development.

3. Grasp existing customer loyalty

You must be very interested in knowing the transaction loyalty of existing customers, whether it is close cooperation, or there is a crisis of trust in turning orders to multiple peer manufacturers. 

We can search for the customer’s company name to find out whether the existing customers have imported similar products from other buyers. If so, what kind of products are they? Cross-analyze the differences between the other party’s products and ours. If this type of product is not yet provided by the company, it can be considered for inclusion in the new product line.

On the contrary, if the product is indeed existing in the company but has not been purchased from the company, it can also be recommended to customers. Provide customers with products they need in a timely manner to consolidate the cooperative relationship with customers.

How to Develop Customers with Customs Data
