Trade-data research for exporters

Know where your product is going — and who is buying it.

SeaLines reads the customs and shipping records for the products you export and turns them into a clear monthly report: which markets are growing, who the buyers are, what they pay, and who else is selling there.

The problem

You have more data than ever. Most of it doesn't help you sell.

01

A search box is not an answer.

Trade databases give you a million rows. They don't give you someone who knows which rows are your product, your grade and your route — and what they add up to.

02

Real buyers are in the shipping records, not the totals.

Country totals tell you Vietnam is growing. Shipping records tell you which importer in Ho Chi Minh City took forty containers last quarter, who sold them, and at what price.

03

Prices go stale in weeks.

Freight, season and a rival country's harvest all move prices. Last year's price is a guess. Last month's price is leverage in your next negotiation.

How it works

You ask the question. We do the research.

No dashboards to learn, no data to clean. Four steps from your question to a finished report.

  1. 1

    Tell us what you export

    Add your HS codes, where you ship from and the markets you care about. Your desk covers exactly these — nothing else.

  2. 2

    Ask your question

    The real one. Which buyers are switching suppliers? What did competitors sell for in Rotterdam last quarter? Is Chittagong worth a visit?

  3. 3

    Your analyst does the research

    They pull every customs and shipping record for your codes and period, clean the data, match buyers to sellers, and build the tables.

  4. 4

    You get a finished report

    A PDF in your archive with the tables, the charts and a clear written verdict. Every figure shows where it came from.

The product

A desk you open, not a database you learn.

  • One place for every report

    Each report lands as a PDF in your archive with a delivery email — and stays there after your plan ends.

  • Ask in plain words

    Requests are written questions, not forms. Your analyst accepts, confirms a date, and replies from the same thread.

  • Pay per period, no auto-debit

    Pay through Razorpay in rupees or US dollars — card, UPI, net banking or bank transfer. Renew when you're ready; nothing is taken automatically.

Read the five findings and what we recommended in this report, or see what each plan includes.

What's inside

Every report has the same eight sections.

The layout never changes, so you can go straight to what's new. Open the sample report — its contents page is this list.

§1

Summary and findings

The answer first, on one page, with the key numbers: total value, volume, typical price and range, top markets, and how many sellers control the trade.

§2

What we looked at

Which filings we pulled, how many we read (all of them, no sampling), and how we handled values, weights and shipping documents.

§3

Destination markets

Value by country, then the details that matter: markets served by a single supplier, unusual shipments, direct-to-consumer sales, and the biggest named buyers.

§4

Prices

Typical price and range by market, how much trade happens at each price level, and the level that matters most — with a recommended offer price.

§5

Competitors

Who the exporters are, which countries they ship from, how big their shipments are, and which rivals you need to beat — named.

§6

Special findings

Whatever the month throws up. In the sample: a second product shipping under the same code, inflating the tonnage by 27 percent.

§7

What we recommend

Numbered, specific, priced actions. Written for a seller; a buyer can flip them. A twelve-month chart puts the month in context.

§8

Limits, appendix, definitions

What the data can't tell you, said plainly. Every destination market with its counts. Every term explained.

Proof

What one report answered.

Four findings from the Vanilla Beans, HS 0905.10 report — every one traceable to the filings behind it.

  • $49 – $52per kg

    The exact offer price to quote a US food manufacturer.

    Read from 27 bulk filings in the $25–60 price range, not the all-market median. Below $45 a seller is competing on Uganda's terms.

    §4 Prices
  • 2 buyers64% of value

    The two purchasing desks that decide the month.

    One bought five shipments from a single Indonesian exporter in one week; the other took three identical 7,500 kg shipments on the 9th, 16th and 23rd.

    §3 Markets
  • +14%in two weeks

    A price rise caught before it reached the market.

    Same supplier, same weight, same route — $28.18 to $32.14. A supply signal, flagged as the month's clearest early warning.

    §1 Findings
  • 27%of tonnage

    Weight that was not the product at all.

    Twelve filings under $5/kg were flavour powder moving between related companies. Anyone sizing this market by tonnage was wrong by a wide margin.

Named with their permission. Feedback is summarised from what they told us; quotation marks appear only around a client’s own words.

Genuine data — real filings, no guesswork.

What Sabuhi valued was that every record was a real filing, not an estimate — accurate enough to put straight into his work.

    Service that felt like a colleague, not a vendor.

    Yasser's feedback was about how he was treated: questions answered plainly, updates without chasing, and someone on the other end who understood the trade.

  • Ali EmreVerified client

    Delivered fast, and still right.

    Ali needed the data quickly and got it quickly — and made a point of saying that speed hadn't come at the cost of accuracy.

  • Leong HongVerified client

    Trusted enough to build decisions on.

    For Leong Hong it came down to trust: data he could take into a meeting and stand behind, delivered when it was promised.

From real customs declarations and bills of lading — the paperwork filed every time a shipment crosses a border. We license them from customs and port data providers. Nothing is a survey or an estimate. Every report says how many filings we found, how many we read (all of them), the period covered, and how many records sit behind each table.
