Import Genius

Did internationally sourcing logistics for some time, this is the program you want to use

Pretty price at $300/month to get anything substantial

All records of container ports overseas coming into USA are public records, but aren't exactly usable unless you use a program like importgenius

You can do a lot of things with it

• If you are in the process of researching what competitor XYZ is importing / private labelling overseas, assuming they don't hide their ship to and from address
• If you need to know where everything from China is bought from coming into states
• Geographic data analysis of how one city compares to another in terms of importing
• In your city, who imports the most number of 40' containers

Its used by freighting companies , logistics, etc

Unlike other apps in its category, it also has mindmapping so its easier to make sense of data

Mostly, its best for evaluating suppliers if you use things like alibaba.com and aren't sure whether a vendor is reliable or not. Import records don't lie so you can always gauge which companies have repeat customers from different businesses overseas
