Eximpedia is a Singapore-based trade data platform that sells shipment records: who imported or exported what, from whom, through which port. Its self-serve plans cover US import data, from $220 a quarter (Boost) to $2,400 a year (Corporate, which unlocks all countries). It is useful for seeing which companies already import your product in the countries it covers. Like every customs data tool, it shows past shipments, not who fits you today, and it leaves the person to write to and the first email to you. Outfound starts from a description of your buyer, checks each company on its website today and writes the first email to the decision-maker.

What Eximpedia is
Eximpedia describes itself as "a single source of truth for global trade across 200+ countries". Its subscription page says it has "exclusive customs data across 28 countries, bill of lading data across 58, and statistical trade data covering 200+ countries", and its Enterprise pitch mentions access to "3B+ shipment records". The company lists its address in Singapore. Sales run through demos and a sales team, with self-serve checkout for the smaller plans.
Three kinds of data sit behind those numbers, and they are not equally useful for finding a buyer:
- Customs data comes from a country's import or export declarations and can include the company names, product descriptions and values.
- Bill of lading data comes from shipping documents. It names the shipper and consignee but usually not the price.
- Statistical data shows totals by country and product, without company names. It helps you choose a market, not a company. The same kind of data is free on ITC's Trade Map.
Before you buy any trade data plan, ask which of the three exists for your target country.

"U.S Import Trade Data" plans from eximpedia.app/subscription on 11 October 2026, in US dollars. The annual option is marked "Save 20%".
Points. Points unlock shipment records, company profiles and reports. The plan table lists 50,000 to 100,000 purchase points.
Two sets of numbers. The FAQ on the same page describes plans named Boost, Business, Corporate and Corporate Premium with 200,000 to 750,000 points, 2 to 10 users and a 1 to 1.5 year validity. These do not match the plan table above. Ask Eximpedia which figures apply before you pay.
All countries. Boost and Business cover US imports. Corporate lists all countries, and an Enterprise plan for all-country access is sold through sales. The FAQ says Silk Route and Mirror Search tools start from the Business plan.
Payment. Cheque, demand draft, bank transfer or online payment, according to the FAQ.
Country coverage
The pricing page lists 35 countries with shipment counts: in Asia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Russia, Indonesia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Türkiye and Sri Lanka; in North America, the US, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico; eleven African countries including Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania; and eight in South America including Brazil, Chile, Peru and Argentina. The largest counts are Vietnam (about 302 million shipments), Indonesia (about 171 million) and the US (about 104 million).
Two things to note. First, India did not appear on that list on 11 October 2026, so if you need Indian shipment data, confirm it with sales. Second, the countries most exporters sell to in Europe are missing from company-level lists everywhere, not only at Eximpedia: the EU does not publish customs records with company names, so platforms show European buyers only as they appear in the records of the exporting country (mirror data).
What Eximpedia is good at
Low entry price for US imports. $220 a quarter is below the entry price of the other paid US data platforms we have compared, such as ImportGenius at $229 a month.
Emerging market coverage. Its list includes many markets in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. If one of them is your target, ask which records exist there.
Competitor research. In a covered country you can see which importers buy from your competitors, how often and through which ports.
Where shipment data falls short
It shows who bought, not who will. Records are published after the goods arrive. The importer may have a long contract with its current supplier.
The name on the record is often not the buyer. Forwarders, customs brokers and trading companies appear as consignees.
Buyers who do not import are missing. A retailer or manufacturer that buys through a local distributor never appears in import data, though it may be the right customer for you.
Coverage depends on the country. Detailed records exist for a minority of countries; the rest are mirror or statistical data.
Contact and message are up to you. You still need the decision-maker, a working email and a reason to write. The full list is in customs data vs buyer research.
Eximpedia and Outfound side by side
| Eximpedia | Outfound | |
|---|---|---|
| What it shows | Shipment records: importers, suppliers, products, ports | Companies that fit your buyer description, checked on their website today, with the reason |
| Coverage | Customs data for 28 countries, bill of lading data for 58, statistics for 200+ (its own figures) | Any country where companies have a web presence |
| How current | Records published after the shipment | The day you search |
| Companies that do not import directly | Not visible | Found, if their website shows they sell or use your product |
| Who to write to | Company names; contact details depend on plan | Decision-maker found, email verified before it is shown |
| First email and sending | Not listed on the pricing page | Written for each company in the buyer's language; separate sending domain with SPF, DKIM, DMARC and warm-up |
| Price | From $220 a quarter (US imports) | From $99 a month; cancel anytime |
How Outfound does the job:
You describe your buyer: who sells or uses your product, in which country.
Each candidate's website is read today. Companies that fit come with the reason and a source link; the rest are dropped with why.
The decision-maker is found and the first email written for that company, in the buyer's language, sent after your approval.
Sending is set up for you: a separate domain with SPF, DKIM, DMARC and warm-up. 98.8% of emails sent on the platform between 25 March and 25 September 2026 were delivered.
One result: Korflame makes outdoor kitchens and barbecues. With Outfound it found customers in Malta, Hong Kong, Greece and Albania and a distributor in Sweden. If you export from India, see how Indian exporters find buyers.
Similar customs data providers
Eximpedia competes with other shipment data platforms. We have compared Volza, ImportGenius, Panjiva, TradeAtlas and the free US-only ImportYeti. India-based providers such as Export Genius and Seair Exim sell similar data; we have not listed their prices because we could not check them on their own sites today.
When comparing any of them, ask the same four questions: which countries have company-level records (not mirror or statistics), how far back the data goes on your plan, how many records you can download, and whether contact details are included or cost extra.
When Eximpedia is the better choice
- Your target country is on its list and publishes detailed customs records, and you want shipment volumes, dates and suppliers.
- You want inexpensive US import data and are comfortable doing the research and outreach yourself.
