Our Story

Real customs data, priced for normal businesses

Customs and shipping data used to be something only large enterprises could afford to work with. We make the same records usable by anyone who trades.

Mission

Trade intelligence for every business size

Global trade data has always existed. Customs declarations, port manifests and bill of lading filings are collected by governments and are public. The problem has always been the format: raw, inconsistent, and expensive to process at scale.

We ingest, clean and index billions of those records. An exporter in Bangalore can now run the same supplier search a sourcing team in New York runs, in seconds, for a fraction of what it used to cost.

The aim is straightforward: make trade data fast, affordable and genuinely usable for importers, exporters, freight brokers and trade consultants.

Core Values

What we stand for

Transparency

Every figure we show comes from public customs and port records. We don't buy black-box datasets and we don't estimate numbers to fill gaps.

Speed

Search returns in under two seconds across billions of records. If you're checking a supplier mid-negotiation, that matters.

Accessibility

The same data the enterprise platforms sell, at a price a small team can actually approve. No annual lock-in, no minimum seat count.

Partnership

We do onboarding and live demos, and we stay reachable afterwards. Most of our customers are new to trade data and a login page on its own isn't much help.

Trust

Your searches, your contacts and your shortlists stay yours. We don't sell customer data or share usage patterns with anyone, including your competitors.

Innovation

We add trade lanes, data sources and analysis tools continuously, mostly in the order our customers ask for them.

How It Works

Three steps to trade intelligence

Step 01

Search

Enter a product, HS code, company name or trade lane. We scan billions of records across 150+ countries.

Step 02

Discover

Explore verified suppliers, buyers, shipping volumes, and pricing trends. Filter by country, date range, shipment size, and more.

Step 03

Connect

Contact verified partners, draft the email with AI, and track every lead without leaving ShipScout.

Data Ethics

Where our data comes from

Publicly available trade data only

ShipScout exclusively uses data sourced from customs authorities, port authorities, and international trade organizations. All records are government-filed trade declarations that are legally in the public domain. We do not scrape private company databases, intercept logistics communications, or aggregate personal data beyond what trade filings contain.

If a company or individual believes their information should be excluded from our platform, contact us at [email protected] and we will process the request within 7 business days.
