“Perfect for Competitive Research and Brainstorming”

David A.
3/17/22

I found Import Yeti early on in my journey of eCommerce. It was completely by accident, but I was incredibly grateful to find a place that could help me see where my competitors get their product. I had been struggling to figure out what their original prices might be and the entirety of their logistics. Import Yeti made this incredibly easy. I was able to easily search any company I wanted and found out a lot I wouldn't have known otherwise!

Great way to find out what's happening in your market and do competitor research. Importyeti makes it dead simple to get all necessary data with a few clicks. It's useful not just for competitor checking purpose, but also for all related businesses such as import export, logistics, wholesaling and so on. I highly recommend it to those who are doing cross border trade, customs brokers, e-commerce sellers, brick and mortar stores and other businesses.

Tip for consumers:
Don't get shocked once you find out know you didn't know about it before. I don't have any tip for others. It's a no brainer and dead simple to use.

This is by far the best tool to research what your competitors are doing and where to find suppliers. Understanding your competitors is key to several industries and importyeti makes that job so simple that anyone can do it. A lot of companies say they can provide this information but want to charge a fortune and none of the ones I've tried compared to import yeti. While the service is technically free we do choose to donate a small amount monthly because of how awesome the services are.

Tip for consumers:
Have fun and explore.

I have used websites similar but nothing compares to import yeti. The information offered is insane giving things like frequency of shipments and the order amounts with dates.The process of having to go and look up individual suppliers has been eliminated with the clickable links available on the site, it makes the process so much easier and accurate! Love this site, very easy to use!

Found this site entirely by chance browsing Reddit mid-last year. Since then, this site has been an absolutely vital resource for me. It helped me keep tabs on my supplier and competitors. The site is highly user-friendly and designed even better than the companies that provide the same services but charge hundreds to thousands of dollars per month for a mess of information that you need a cryptologist to decode. Thank you developers for creating such an amazing website.

Came across this site on Reddit and fell in love with it. It contends with the competitors very well and at no cost, just the requirement to make an account after a number of searches. I've used it to audit our container shipments and see accurate, consistent data. I look forward to using this tool to expand my horizons in terms of suppliers overseas. Supply chain has been a broken reality for nearly two years now and it is crucial to now, more than ever, be able to rely on good I/E data and ImportYeti does that and then more.

I was fortunate to come across ImportYeti as it has been tremendously helpful in browsing for suppliers, researching & comparing product sources, and in the evaluation of competition. The information on ImportYeti is very neat and well-organized, making it easy for the consumers to find what they're looking for. I would highly recommend using the platform and its founder(s).

Tip for consumers:
I highly recommend using the HS Code of products your looking for to find all the suppliers that ship to the USA

I've used the platform to research competition and browse through suppliers. I've also found the search by HS Code feature to be very helpful.

I was lucky to have come across this site - it is an invaluable tool. I use it to source products for my construction business. It gives me information on genuine suppliers which allows me to get competitive quotes from several suppliers at the same time cutting out hours and hours of fruitless searching. The website is easy to use and constantly updated with relevant information and improved functionality. I also use it just to browse and keep up to date with changing supply routes and quirky information like where my local coffee beans come from! It is by far my favourite discovery on the internet -highly recommend.

I was lucky to see a Tiktok sharing how you can find out information about your favorite brands suppliers. And I got curious because it said you can even see other related suppliers and customers for the same products. So I went in and checked Import Yeti and I am impressed by how well the data is condensed and presented in a way that is easy to understand. So I wanted more hahaha... Thank you Import Yeti for the work that you do. Very Valuable Website for those who are researching and making their own market info materials.

I use this to track imports vs inventory for businesses I engage with regularly. If they're telling me that there is a supply issue, I can verify it by tracking what suppliers came through recently and weight the info I've been given. The only problem is that you have learn all the company structure yourself and figure out which of the 4 holdings is the one that deals with the actual logistics/supplies.

Tip for consumers:
This is for tracking imports and supply sources. You need to interrupt your own data and make something with it.

ImportYeti has helped me out immensely. It a great tool to look into competition and identifying new manufacturers. When it comes to support, if you reach out the respond. Sounds simple but we all know how it feels when you send multiple emails/forms to a company and get nothing back. I am not only a user of ImportYeti but advocate and recommend it to everyone (except my competition)

We came across this site. One of the best tools I've ever came across. Congratulations! For importers and exporters this site gives insightful information in every commercial aspect. You can find new prospects for your exports, new suppliers for your raw materials and check if companies export or offer what they say they are experts in. Keep up the good work.

Importyeti has updated US shipping records, free to access through a simple search engine. Also some
Analytics and visualization. Useful for corporate research and for understanding where the products we buy come from. Indispensable. And did I mention it's free?!? Their competitors charge thousands of dollars for the same information!

When I started my electric wine opener business, I had to do a lot of research. One task was to find out how the number one guy was selling thousands of units every month (Amazon only). Using ImportYeti (not even sure how I found them but thankful I did), I easliy saw lots of detailed information. Their customized charts, graphs, and maps make it easy to analyze everything you can think of... and much more! You can search millions of U.S. Customs Sea Shipment Records too. ImportYeti is FREE and it's the neatest and coolest importing/exporting tool.

This model is the most comprehensive and resourceful use of data, for personal and professional use. It has definitely given my professional business an edge for forecasting and current state issues for clients related to supply chain, sourcing, etc... what blows my mind is that this data is free and therefore should be accessible for free. ImportYeti really hits the nail on the head for unlocking data-driven decision and insights in a meaningful and digestible way.

When I am researching similar product movement from Asia and Europe to US, I have found Import Yeti to be extraordinarily useful. When I need to source new suppliers, see where problem products of larger brands are coming from to steer away from those suppliers, or when I just want to sit back and look at the flow of commercial madness around the world, I use Import Yeti. It is more a Sherpa than a Yeti for me.

Until coming across this very useful app, would waste countless hours trying to research competitors and where they source their products. With this tool, that task became so easy it is actually fun--I've even researched companies out of curiousity alone. Would highly recommend giving importyeti a try!

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

ImportYeti helps you find the right supplier 5x times than your existing solutions by using customs data to quantify who the best suppliers are for each product.

Our free and easy-to-use site collects the information from the U.S. customs sea shipment data and organizes it in charts, maps, and sections.

Trusted by over 500k monthly active users, ImportYeti focuses on continuous improvement, thanks to our customer's feedback.

Business History

ImportYeti is the combination of some downtime created by the Corona Virus and my desire to give back to the eCom community that has given me so much.

Bill of ladings are public information that every large eCom owner or FBA seller I know uses but they are too cost prohibitive, challenging to obtain and difficult to use for the average joe. ImportYeti's goal is to solve that problem.

I only want to create things that people really love. If you enjoyed this tool, have any ideas for how to improve it, or can think of other ways we can help the eCom community, I want to hear from you.
