How to find new customers in foreign trade

Finding new customers in foreign trade means identifying which markets have demand, which companies are already buying your product, and how they operate in each country. Without that context, commercial prospecting relies on intuition and consumes time without results. Four factors make this require its own approach:

Active buyers

Not every company in the market is buying your product today. Only real activity confirms it.

Frequency and volume

Not all buyers generate the same commercial potential. Recurrence and volume completely change where it makes sense to prioritize.

Buying dynamics

Each buyer has different purchasing patterns. Understanding how they buy and at what price helps anticipate how to compete.

Markets with demand

The opportunity is not where your product theoretically fits. It is where consistent commercial activity and proven demand already exist.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about
prospecting in foreign trade

What type of customers can I find with Veritrade?

Real buyers that are purchasing your product category in each market, identified from operations recorded at customs. Each one with their verified commercial activity according to the information available by country.

Can I segment buyers by country and product?

Yes. You can segment by country, product (HS code), volume, frequency, supplier origin, and period. Build lists as broad or specific as your commercial strategy requires.

Can I see the volumes and frequencies of each importer?

Yes, depending on each country's coverage. In most markets you can see import volumes and their evolution over time, which lets you prioritize large and recurring buyers over sporadic ones. The level of detail may vary depending on the data available from each customs authority.

Can I see who the current supplier of each importer is?

In most markets, yes. When customs data allows, each operation includes the origin supplier, which helps you understand the commercial structure of each buyer and detect opportunities to enter as an alternative supplier. Availability may vary by country.

Where does the data come from?

Directly from official customs records across more than 50 countries. These are real import and export operations that have already taken place, not estimates or surveys. Each record includes company, product, HS code, volume, FOB and CIF prices, and country of origin and destination.
