Database

Exporter database — global suppliers + their US-bound flows.

Profile the global exporter universe and see exactly which US importers each one supplies — by HS code, lane, carrier, and container volume.

Short answer

LIT's exporter database lets you search global suppliers by country, HS code, lane, and US-bound shipment volume. Every exporter record is joined to the US importers they actually ship to, so you can see the whole demand chain in one view.

The problem

Most trade-data tools only let you search one side of the BOL. If you sell to exporters — or want to find who supplies a given US importer — you're forced to flip between tools.

How LIT solves it

LIT treats the BOL as a graph. From any exporter you can see their US importers; from any importer you can see their suppliers. Same query surface, same enrichment, same contact attachment.

FAQs

Common questions.

Do you cover non-US exporters?

Any global exporter that has shipped to a US importer is in the database. We don't separately index domestic-only exporters in non-US markets.

Can I find suppliers for a specific brand?

Yes — search the importer, then pivot to their exporters with one click. The relationship graph is one of the highest-value workflows on the platform.
