US auto parts records
Read the painted-rotor descriptions and displayed shipment parties. Then decide which company and product checks are needed.
Inspect the auto parts example →Turn an HS code into a company research list: define the product, check shipment evidence and qualify the recorded parties before outreach.
Start with the product you actually sell: its function, material, model or application. Choose the importing market and a date range before comparing companies. A broad category can contain goods that do not match your offer.
Use the code description and the applicable nomenclature version. Check relevant earlier codes when your period spans a revision; do not merge different categories merely because their numbers look similar. Use our HS reference pages as a starting point and confirm the classification against the full product.
A four-digit category total is context for that category. It is not automatically the market size of a more specific product. Keep the code, period and included markets beside every statistic.
Compare code searches with product keywords, spelling variants and specifications. Inspect the source record when a goods description and a displayed code disagree. Confirm how the provider obtained each field before assuming that a code-only result is complete.
A consignee or shipper is a recorded shipment role. Check the full legal name, address and business activity before treating that entity as the final buyer or manufacturer. Keep forwarders, intermediaries and affiliates identifiable rather than deleting them without review.
Check bill or record identifiers, date definitions and duplicate handling. Distinguish source rows, shipments and companies. Multiple rows on one day do not establish several orders or recurring purchases.
Compare relevant activity over the same period and scope. Quantity comparisons need matching units; value comparisons need a confirmed source and valuation basis. A supplier change is a research signal, not proof of willingness to buy from you.
Assess product fit, the entity’s role and the evidence available. Then research the relevant purchasing function using appropriate business sources. Shipment data does not by itself provide a verified purchasing contact or establish current demand.
| Keep with each company | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Source and record identifier | Return to the original evidence and check duplicates. |
| Full party name, address and role | Distinguish similar names, affiliates and intermediaries. |
| Product description, code and version | Check whether the goods match your offer. |
| Date definition, period and coverage | Avoid comparing different windows or incomplete samples. |
| Next check and qualification reason | Keep an actionable research list rather than a raw name list. |
Classification reference: WCO HS Nomenclature 2022. Research steps are TradeData’s editorial method; the worked cases identify their own source scope.
Include your product description, HS code if known, importing country, exporting country if relevant, preferred dates, and the fields you need. If researching a company, add its full name and known address.
