<p>I am looking for customs data for importing companies for each country.
I found some of them, for instance <a href="https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/557ccb8d-d035-420d-bfd7-47dfbe0cd18b" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Canadian Importers Database</a></p>
<p>But I wonder if any of you know the additional free sources. Especially in case of China or USA.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

# How to get Customs data for importing companies?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-11-22)

I am looking for customs data for importing companies for each country.
I found some of them, for instance [Canadian Importers Database](https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/557ccb8d-d035-420d-bfd7-47dfbe0cd18b)

But I wonder if any of you know the additional free sources. Especially in case of China or USA.

Thanks
