How EximDataProvider collects, uses and protects information.
We collect the information you give us directly — your name, company, email address and the details of any enquiry or demo request — together with standard technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited.
To respond to enquiries, deliver demo reports, provide and support subscriptions, process payments, and improve the service. We do not sell personal information.
The trade data on this platform is compiled from customs filings, bills of lading and port manifests obtained as public records in the jurisdictions concerned. It describes commercial shipments between businesses.
We use cookies for essential site function and for aggregate analytics. You can restrict cookies in your browser settings; essential cookies are required for the site to work.
We share information only with service providers who process it on our behalf under contract, or where required by law.
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and apply appropriate technical and organisational safeguards.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, and may opt out of marketing at any time. Write to info@eximdataprovider.com.
We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected on this page.
There are two entirely separate categories, and conflating them causes confusion. The first is information about visitors to this website — the contact details you choose to send us and standard technical information your browser transmits. The second is trade data: customs and manifest records published by national authorities, which concern businesses and consignments rather than individuals. This policy is about the first category; the second is commercial information about legal entities.
| Category | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact details you send | You, via a form or email | Responding to your enquiry |
| Technical information | Your browser and our host | Serving pages and security |
| Usage information | Aggregated site analytics | Understanding which pages are useful |
| Trade records | National customs authorities | The service itself — business data, not personal data |
Enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any resulting relationship, and afterwards for the period required for ordinary business record-keeping. Technical logs are kept for a short operational period. You may ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, and we will do so unless we are required to retain it.
We use ordinary infrastructure providers to host this site and deliver email. They process information on our instructions and for no independent purpose. We do not sell contact information, and we do not share enquiry details with third parties except where necessary to provide the service you asked for or where required by law.
Cookies used on this site are limited to those needed for the site to function and, where enabled, aggregate analytics that tell us which pages are read. Analytics data is used in aggregate to improve the material here, not to build individual profiles. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or cleared, and the site remains usable if you do.
Customs and manifest records are published by national authorities as part of their statutory functions, and they concern commercial consignments between businesses. Where a jurisdiction does not publish a field, we leave it blank rather than inferring it. If you believe a record concerning your business is inaccurate, contact us and we will explain what the underlying source shows and how it can be addressed.
If you want to know what we hold, or want it corrected or removed, contact us and we will deal with it directly rather than through a process.
Enquiry correspondence and account information are held on infrastructure operated by established hosting and email providers, with access limited to the people who need it to run the service. We do not hold payment card details ourselves. Where information is processed outside your own country, it is processed under the terms our providers offer for that purpose, and we will tell you what those are if you ask.
If this policy changes materially — a new category of information, a new purpose, a new processor — the change will be reflected here. We do not make silent changes to what we collect or why. If you want to know what we hold about you, or want it corrected or deleted, contact us and it will be dealt with directly by a person rather than through a ticketing process.
Trade data rewards a short, boring discipline far more than it rewards technique. Four steps cover most of it, and skipping any one of them is where the confident wrong conclusions come from. Fix the classification first, because every filter, every duty figure and every price comparison downstream is keyed to the tariff line and inherits any error in it. Then read at least three years, so that seasonality and trend can be told apart rather than conflated. Then exclude the most recent one or two periods, which are still filling in as late filings arrive. Then separate value from volume, because a value movement can be price, quantity or a change of mix inside the line, and those point in different directions.
| Step | What it prevents | Cost of skipping it |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm the tariff line | Filtering the wrong product | Every downstream figure is wrong by an unknown amount |
| Read three years | Mistaking a season for a trend | Strategy built on a cyclical high or low |
| Drop the incomplete tail | Reading reporting lag as decline | Writing off buyers who never stopped buying |
| Separate value from volume | Reading price as demand | Investing against a movement that was not demand |
| Check the counterparty | Acting on an unverified name | Credit or capacity committed to a company with no history |
| Record the period and source | Unrepeatable analysis | Figures nobody can reconcile three months later |
The material here is one layer of a set that is meant to be used together. The country pages establish the shape of a market from official reported figures. The HS chapter pages take a single classification down to product level. The industry hubs group the chapters that make up a real industry and sum them, because almost no industry is one chapter. The India location pages read the national record as places, using the clearance point as a geographic signal. And the trade role pages take one job at a time — building an importer list, checking an exporter, reading a lane — and set out the signals that matter for it.

Learn more ›Customs records cover goods that physically crossed a border and were declared to an authority. They do not cover services. They do not cover domestic trade, so a business selling mainly inside its own market will look far smaller here than it is. They carry no margin, no contract terms, no payment behaviour and no intent. Coverage of counterparty names varies by jurisdiction and is not universal, data arrives on a lag, and published periods are revised as corrections come in.
None of that reduces what the record is good for, and stating it plainly is what makes the rest credible. Used within its limits, customs data is one of the very few commercial sources where the underlying event actually happened, was documented at the time, and was documented under legal obligation rather than for promotional purposes. That is a rare property, and it is worth not overselling.
Before relying on any trade dataset — ours or anyone else's — ask which markets are covered at which depth, what the lag is in each, how company names were matched, and what happens to a historical series across an HS revision. The answers tell you more than any headline figure.
