Overview

ImportYeti gives Claude direct access to customs shipment data, so you can research global supply chains in plain language. Ask Claude to: - Find who supplies a company, e.g. "Who are Lululemon's overseas suppliers?" - Find the top US importers or overseas suppliers of a product, e.g. "Who imports the most solar panels into the US?" - Look up a US importer's or supplier's shipment history, trading partners, HS codes, and volumes over time - Pull individual US import and export bills of lading - Search Mexico import and export customs declarations, including top companies, suppliers, and brokers - Filter shipments by product, HS code, country, port, carrier, or date range Common uses include sourcing and supplier discovery, competitive intelligence, sales prospecting for logistics and freight teams, and supply-chain due diligence. The connector is read-only. It searches and retrieves trade data and never changes anything in your account. Requirements: an ImportYeti account with API credits. You'll sign in with your ImportYeti account when you connect.
