Unveiling the Superiority of TradeInt: Trade Data Platform Introduction

Read this article to learn about TradeInt's features, functionality, and use cases, and why TradeInt is the superior choice as a global trade data platform.

What is TradeInt?

TradeInt is a subscription trade-intelligence platform that pairs a verified customs and shipping database with built-in search, filtering, and analysis tools. A sourcing manager can move from a raw shipment record to a usable buyer list, and a market researcher can move from a country's import totals to a ranked list of active companies, without exporting the data to a separate analysis tool first.

TradeInt does not move goods, clear customs, or extend trade financing. It sits above the customs and shipping activity it tracks, turning government-recorded trade data into records a business can act on directly.

TradeInt is a global trade data platform providing access to over 10 billion verified import and export records. Its coverage spans over 200 countries and more than 80 customs data sources.

What trade data does TradeInt cover?

TradeInt's dataset has more than 10 billion trade records, sourced from 80+ official customs authorities across 200+ countries and cross-referenced against a directory of 500+ million company profiles.

Data source: TradeInt Global Trade Data Platform

Three record types make up that dataset: customs data (product name, HS code, trade value, and the exporter or importer identity behind a shipment), bill of lading records (the shipping-side detail, including vessel, route, and port), and company profiles (registration and contact-level detail behind each importer or exporter). Combining all three in one place is what lets a user trace a shipment back to the company that sent it without checking a second source.

What can you do with TradeInt?

TradeInt's functionality centers on turning that dataset into a working shortlist rather than a static export. Five actions cover most day-to-day use:

  1. Search by product, HS code, company name, or country to surface matching shipment and company records.
  2. Filter results by time period, trade direction, or customs authority to narrow a broad market into a specific question.
  3. Screen a prospective buyer or supplier against its own shipment history before signing a contract.
  4. Set up monitoring so a new shipment from a named competitor, or a new buyer entering a target market, triggers an alert.
  5. Export the resulting shipment lists, contact records, or trend charts for a client report or an internal business case.

Each of these draws on the same underlying records, so a search built for supplier screening can be reused, with different filters, for market sizing or competitor tracking.

Who uses TradeInt, and what for?

Two use cases show how the same dataset supports different jobs: finding new buyers, and deciding where to expand next.

  • An exporter searching for coffee buyers in Vietnam runs a product-and-HS-code search across TradeInt's shipment records. The result is a list of Vietnamese importers with their shipment volumes and contact details, which shortens a lead-generation process that would otherwise mean weeks of manual outreach.
  • A business consultant advising a client on Latin American expansion pulls historical import trend data across Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. Comparing which HS codes are growing fastest by country lets the consultant recommend a market to enter first, backed by shipment volumes rather than a general market report.

Is TradeInt's global trade data verified?

Yes. Records are checked against actual customs and shipping documentation rather than estimated, and sourced from official customs authorities and government-authorized providers.

How current is TradeInt's global trade data?

Most covered countries update monthly, with some markets refreshing closer to weekly, depending on that country's own customs release schedule. TradeInt does not claim real-time data.

Who is TradeInt built for?

Importers, exporters, freight forwarders, business consultants, and market researchers use it for supplier discovery, buyer research, competitor monitoring, and market sizing, with packaging scaled for SME and enterprise teams alike.

Does TradeInt handle shipping, customs clearance, or financing?

No. TradeInt is a data and analysis platform. It does not move goods, clear customs, issue export documents, or provide financing. It provides the shipment and company records a business needs to make its own sourcing, market, or risk decisions.

How do I get access to TradeInt?

A team can start on TradeInt's solutions page, reviewing coverage against the countries and product categories it needs before scaling access across a wider team.

Across 10 billion-plus trade records, 200+ countries, and 500 million-plus company profiles, TradeInt's value sits in three places: verified shipment, customs, and company data in one dataset; functionality that turns that data into a working shortlist without a dedicated data team; and use cases spanning supplier sourcing, market scoping, and competitor tracking. A team evaluating a global trade data platform can start by mapping TradeInt's coverage against its own target countries and product categories, then testing the search and filter tools against a real sourcing or market question before deciding how far to scale it.
