From search to audit-ready report in under 5 minutes

Enter a supplier name or HS code

Search by company name, product category, or HS code. ImportGenius pulls their full customs filing history across 25 countries.

2

Review their trade profile for compliance risks

See trade routes, shipment volumes, filing history, and buyer networks. Spot patterns that signal risk: unusual routes, activity gaps, or inconsistencies across their shipment record.

3

Cross-check against your compliance criteria

See the full list of companies importing from this supplier. Recognize any names? That's a good sign. All unknown? Worth investigating further.

If we review the trade data from ImportGenius in advance and see that a company has 400 shipments of aircraft parts into Russia after the sanctions, we can classify this as a potential violation. Using that trade data has helped us avoid those situations countless times.

Frequently asked questions

How does ImportGenius help with trade compliance?

ImportGenius gives you access to official customs records — the same data filed with government agencies when goods cross borders. You can screen any supplier and see their actual trade activity: routes, volumes, HS codes, filing consistency, and buyer networks. This lets you independently verify supplier claims against real government data, instead of relying on self-reported questionnaires or third-party databases.

Where does the data come from?

U.S. data is sourced from the Department of Homeland Security through the Freedom of Information Act — public record bill of lading data for every ocean shipment entering a U.S. port. International data covers 25+ countries and is legally obtained from government agencies and licensed partners. All data is official and verifiable, making it defensible documentation for compliance and audit purposes.

Does ImportGenius screen against sanctions and denied party lists?

ImportGenius shows you a supplier's actual trade patterns — including which countries and ports they ship through. While we don't replace dedicated sanctions screening tools (like Dow Jones or LexisNexis), we add a critical layer: real trade activity data that reveals what suppliers actually do, not just what lists they appear on. Compliance teams use ImportGenius to catch routing anomalies and undisclosed trade relationships that list-based screening misses.

Can I use this data in compliance audits?

Yes. ImportGenius data is sourced from official government customs filings, making it verifiable and audit-defensible. You can export supplier profiles and trade activity reports to include in your compliance documentation. Many teams use ImportGenius records as supporting evidence in internal audits, vendor reviews, and regulatory submissions.

How is this different from a GRC platform?

GRC platforms manage your compliance workflows — policies, controls, risk registers, and audit trails. ImportGenius provides the underlying trade data you need to populate those workflows. Think of it as the intelligence layer: we show you what suppliers are actually doing in their trade operations, so your GRC system has real data to work with instead of self-assessments.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $229/month for U.S. data. Annual plans are available at a 17% discount through our sales team. Sign up online or reach out to learn more about the plan that fits your workflow.
