Bill of Lading search — every US import filing, queryable.
Run an instant Bill of Lading search across 124M+ live US import filings. Filter by importer, exporter, HS code, country of origin, port pair, carrier, container count, and arrival window — then push the result set straight into your CRM.
Bill of Lading search in LIT is a live query interface over 124M+ US Customs filings. You can search by importer name, exporter, HS code, port, country of origin, carrier, lane, and date range, and every match comes with verified buyer contacts you can sequence the same day.
Public BOL data is messy, slow to update, and hard to join to a CRM. Most teams either pay for ImportYeti / ImportGenius and re-key the results, or skip BOL entirely and rely on cold lists.
LIT indexes every US BOL filing, normalizes shipper/consignee names, and joins each record to enriched company + contact data so a search isn't a CSV — it's a list of accounts you can call this week.
What's in the box.
Every US ocean BOL since 2014, refreshed weekly.
Importer, exporter, HS, port, lane, carrier, country, container count, weight, value, arrival window.
Combine filters, save, share, and run as alerts when a new shipment matches.
Every importer surfaces 5-30 verified buyer-side contacts with role + email + phone.
Push results to LIT CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce, or CSV in one click.
Programmatic search on Pro plans — same query surface as the UI.
From signal to booked freight.

Common questions.
How fresh is the data?
US BOL records refresh weekly, typically within 7-10 days of the filing being released by Customs. Air, Mexico, and select country feeds vary — see /lanes for per-corridor freshness.
Can I search exporters, not just importers?
Yes. Every BOL has both shipper and consignee. Filter on either, or combine — e.g. ‘exporter contains "Samsung" AND port = LAX.’
Is there a free version?
Yes. Free plans get unlimited search and the first 10 saved companies. Paid plans unlock contact reveal at scale, sequences, and API access.
Does LIT replace ImportYeti?
For most teams, yes. See the side-by-side at /vs/importyeti — the headline difference is contacts + CRM + sequences in one place vs. CSV-only output.
