Limits
- Search matches company names, not what a company imports: hdmi returned no companies in testing. To find who buys a product, search words companies use in their names, then read profiles for product descriptions.
- The site served about 140 rows per term in testing, then empty pages, so a broad term stops there. Split it into narrower terms; hits_found on the summary row shows what the site reports.
- At most 20 profiles a run. The site limits page views per address, about 26 in testing, and this actor stops rather than going around it. A run may read fewer if its address has been used. For more, run again later or use ImportYeti's own paid plan.
- Records cover US sea shipments only. Air, truck, and rail are not in them, and some importers file confidentially.
- Phone numbers and emails on the site are masked or sign in only, so rows do not carry them.
- HS code pages are not read in this version: the site challenged most reads of them.
- ImportYeti's terms restrict automated access and reuse of its data. Read them and decide whether your use fits: https://www.importyeti.com/policies/terms
