Expose counterfeit flows, monitor distributor behavior, and verify supplier compliance using global trade data you can trust.

Brand protection & compliance challenge
Why it matters
How ImportGenius helps
Difficulty detecting counterfeit or gray-market imports
Unauthorized importers erode brand value, confuse customers, and undermine legitimate distributors.
Identify companies importing your branded products and pinpoint suspicious flows before they escalate.
Potential IP infringement or unlicensed production by manufacturers
Some factories may produce extra, unapproved units (“third-shift production”) that leak into global markets.
Track where manufacturers ship products to uncover unauthorized production and distribution.
Risk of trading with sanctioned or high-risk entities
Engaging with restricted parties exposes your business to legal, financial, and reputational damage.
Verify supplier and buyer activity across shipment records to avoid sanctioned lanes, regions, or partners.
Uncertainty about supplier compliance or product authenticity
Suppliers may claim quality or regulatory compliance without the shipment history to back it up.
Review a supplier’s shipment consistency, product profiles, and trade patterns to validate reliability and compliance.
Limited visibility into Tier 2 and Tier 3 sub-suppliers
Hidden upstream partners can introduce ethical, regulatory, or quality risks you can’t see coming.
Reveal connected suppliers and upstream manufacturing networks through shipment linkages.
