A strong fit. Not an unqualified list.

This is for teams that can explain why a US importer or exporter would benefit from their service. It is not a shipment-tracking platform, a guaranteed source of buying opportunities or a shortcut around research. Matching does not confirm trade lanes, shipment volumes, ports, current providers or purchasing authority.

Free gives you a useful way to get started. Pro adds exclusive premium high-intent contacts and an autonomous AI Agent that collects eligible matches daily. Intent informs prioritization; it does not guarantee a purchase or permission to contact someone.
