Verify a supplier in 4 steps

From search to decision in under five minutes

1

Search by company name or product

Enter a supplier name, HS code, or product description. ImportGenius searches 2B+ customs records across 25 countries.

2

Review their trade profile

See shipment volumes, trade routes, first/last activity dates, and product categories. Compare what the supplier claims vs. what customs records show.

3

Check who else buys from them

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

4

Set ongoing monitoring alerts

Get notified if the supplier's shipment volume drops, routes change, or activity stops. Continuous verification, not a one-time check.

Who uses ImportGenius for supplier verification?

Different teams, same need: know who you're working with

Compliance Officers

Screen suppliers against real customs activity for sanctions, tariff misclassification, and trade regulation compliance.

Finance & Risk Teams

Assess supplier financial health through trade volume trends. A supplier shipping less every quarter is a credit risk signal.

"We caught a supplier inflating their shipment numbers by 3x. ImportGenius showed their actual customs records — 200 shipments, not the 600 they claimed. That saved us from a six-figure contract with a vendor who couldn't deliver."

Frequently asked questions

How does ImportGenius help with supplier verification?

ImportGenius gives you access to real customs records — the same data filed with government agencies when goods cross borders. You can look up any supplier and see their actual shipment history: volumes, routes, products, buyers, and activity trends. This lets you verify claims, spot risks, and make informed sourcing decisions based on facts, not brochures.

Where does the data come from?

All data comes from official customs filings — bill of lading records, import/export declarations, and trade manifests from 25+ countries. This is government-sourced data, not scraped or self-reported. U.S. data updates within 24-48 hours of filing.

Can I verify suppliers outside the US?

Yes. ImportGenius covers 25+ countries including China, India, Vietnam, Mexico, Germany, and more. You can search by supplier name, product category, or HS code across all covered markets.

How is this different from a standard background check?

Traditional background checks rely on self-reported information and credit scores. ImportGenius shows you actual trade activity — what a supplier has shipped, where, how often, and to whom. You're seeing what they do, not what they say they do.

Can I set up ongoing monitoring for a supplier?

Yes. You can set real-time alerts for any supplier. Get notified when their shipment volume changes, they start shipping to new routes, or their activity drops — so you can take action before a disruption hits.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $199/month for U.S. data. Pro plans ($399/month) include expanded search limits and AI features. Enterprise plans start at $1,999/month with global coverage and custom packages.
