Understanding Shipping and Bill of Lading Data (Customs Data)

In the fast-paced world of global trade, data availability plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth transactions and informed decision-making. Among the wealth of data sources, shipping data and bill of lading data stand out as vital components. Let’s delve into what these datasets entail and how they contribute to the efficiency of international commerce.

What is Shipping Data

Shipping data encompasses a broad range of information related to the movement of goods across international borders. This includes details such as shipment origins and destinations, shipping routes, carriers involved, transit times, and transportation modes. Shipping data provides valuable insights into logistical operations, supply chain efficiency, and trade patterns.

What is Bill of Lading Data (Customs Data)

The bill of lading is a legal document issued by a carrier to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment. It serves as a contract between the shipper, carrier, and recipient, detailing essential information about the goods being transported. Bill of lading data includes particulars such as the names and addresses of parties involved, description of goods, quantity, weight, and freight charges. This data is critical for tracking shipments, confirming delivery, and resolving disputes in international trade transactions.

Importance of Data Availability

Data availability is essential for stakeholders across the supply chain, including shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, customs authorities, and importers/exporters. Access to timely and accurate shipping and bill of lading data enables businesses to streamline their operations, optimize inventory management, minimize transit times, and enhance customer satisfaction. Moreover, it facilitates compliance with regulatory requirements, such as customs clearance procedures and import/export documentation.

Even if a country only has Shipping Data, it still provides a direct data source, albeit less comprehensive compared to Bill of Lading Data.

Customs data refers to information sourced from a nation’s customs authorities, encompassing details such as customs bills, bills of lading, statistical insights, and an enterprise directory comprising global import and export data. Consequently, customs data holds greater authority and comprehensiveness.

 

On the other hand, shipping data originates from information furnished by shipping firms. While also trustworthy and dependable, it tends to be comparatively less comprehensive than customs data.

What happens if the country has no Customs Data?

If a country has no Bill of Lading Data / Customs Data. You must use Mirror Data.

 

Mirror data refers to the practice of utilizing customs data from counterpart countries to reflect the data of the country of interest. 

 

For example, if you seek to access customs data for Japan, but Japan does not make its data available, you can leverage the customs data of Turkey or other global counterparts engaged in trade with Japan that has Customs Data. This approach allows you to access customs data associated with Japan.

 

To acquire mirror data, it’s compulsory that the counterpart country must have Customs Data.
