Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: JSON over REST API + SDK, credit-metered per record returned (customs record ~0.14 credits; 1 USD = 40 credits; cache hits free), with asynchronous job results for agent-style research prompts; enterprise tier adds a dedicated SLA
Volume: Not published as a record count; scale is expressed as country coverage (200+ countries, including major exporters and EU member states) with rolling 12-month trend series plus full shipment drill-down. If the underlying B/L corpus is of the same order as comparable global manifests, plausibly hundreds of millions to low billions of shipment records, with 12-month retained trend series per HS/country pair.
Users: ~1,000-20,000 self-serve API accounts (inferred from a free-API-key sign-up funnel aimed at developers/agents plus an enterprise tier; no account count published)
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — a 2-person core team operating a rapidly iterated developer-facing product surface (API docs, SDK, guides, agent-research endpoints, zh + en storefronts, discount/perks programme). Backed company founded late 2021 with angel/seed backing and accelerator ties (Microsoft/NVIDIA ecosystem programmes).
Launched: ~2022-2023 for the TradeWind prospecting product (parent Chenhai Interactive founded late 2021); the customs/trade-data API layer is materially newer, ~2025-2026, judging by its agent/LLM-oriented endpoint design and separate developer storefront
