Why ImportGenius is the best platform for trade intelligence
One platform, always online
Unlike Seair, which offers a dashboard only for U.S. data and requires offline downloads or special requests for analysis, ImportGenius keeps everything online, unified, and effortlessly accessible.
With ImportGenius, you can:
- Save your searches
- Visualize data with charts and graphs
- Instantly see maps of trade relationships
- Explore shipment-level data or aggregated analytics depending on your needs
This is trade intelligence engineered for speed, clarity, and decision-making. No delays, no file requests, just results.
Trusted by more businesses from sourcing to market entry
ImportGenius has served over 50,000 clients, more than double Seair’s reach. From sourcing to market research, businesses across every sector trust us for smarter, faster trade intelligence.
Unmatched data authority trusted worldwide
ImportGenius doesn’t just offer trade data. For nearly 2 decades, it has delivered high-authority intelligence trusted by federal agencies, Fortune 500 companies, and investigative journalists.
Our data is licensed from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and foreign customs agencies, ensuring a level of reliability and legitimacy others don’t offer.
Unlimited downloads, no credits-based system
With ImportGenius, your access is unrestricted—download as much as you need under your subscription. No credit-based system. Seair’s credit model slows down workflows and complicates research. We give you full control, no arbitrary caps.
How ImportGenius helps you find opportunities in the global trade
Work with the freshest trade intelligence
With U.S. data refreshed daily and global datasets updated as soon as they’re available, ImportGenius ensures you’re always working with the freshest intelligence. Seair’s 30 - 60 day delays may cost you critical opportunities. When timing is everything in trade, speed matters.
Profile any company fast with AI-powered tool
Businesses need to move fast, so we built the Genius Company Profiler right into your dashboard. Powered by AI, it gives you instant insights on a company’s key information and trade activity. No digging, no delays, just the intel you need to find trading partners and customers.
Get verified contacts when you need to
ImportGenius offers verified contact information on demand, helping you reach real decision-makers faster. Seair makes no mention of contact data, leaving you to search blindly. We cut through the noise, so you can start the conversation.
Set smart alerts for critical shipments
Stay in the loop with real-time alerts for specific companies, products, or shipping lanes. Get notified the moment a relevant shipment clears customs, so you can strike first on new trends or competitor activity.
U.S.-based expert support

Our Arizona-based support team is available by phone, email, or live chat to answer platform questions or help you dive deep into trade data. Enterprise clients? You’ll get a dedicated team of analysts to guide your strategy and pull tailored reports as needed.
