FreightSource turns HMRC customs filings into a working pipeline of importers and exporters — filtered by company, postcode, company size, commodity code and trade volume, and shown on a map of your patch. Built for the freight forwarders, customs brokers and BD reps who still pick up the phone.
No more LinkedIn guesses or stale lead lists. The trader board pulls directly from HMRC, normalises to UK company entities, and sorts by who's actually shipping right now — not who shipped three years ago. Work it as a list, or see your whole patch on a map.

Three jobs. None of them are "scroll LinkedIn for an hour." The same data your competitors pay analysts to dig out — ranked, normalised, and one click from your pipeline.
Customs entries, declared values, commodity codes and import/export direction sourced directly from HMRC trade statistics. Every record traces back to an official filing, and over 350,000 traders are matched to Companies House for their status, size and industry.
Search by company name or postcode and see the results as a list or pinned on a map of your patch. Filter by company size, commodity code (HS2 or HS4), and minimum import and export months. Names don't need HMRC's exact spelling. Save a search and get notified when new traders match it.
Save traders to your pipeline with statuses — Prospect, Client, Lapsed, Rejected. Log notes, calls and meetings against each one, set a reminder for the follow-up, and see what's due on your dashboard. Download your list for your CRM.
Set up takes minutes. Most reps have their first list of qualified UK importers exported to their CRM before lunch.
Search by company name or postcode (with optional radius), then work the list or the map. Filter by company size, commodity code (HS2), minimum import months and export months to land on exactly the businesses you sell to.
Open any trader to see monthly import/export charts, full HMRC entry history, top HS4 commodity codes and their Companies House status, size and industry. See who's actively shipping and who's gone quiet.
Save promising traders to your pipeline. Tag them Prospect, Client, Lapsed or Rejected. Log every call and meeting, set a reminder for the follow-up, and it's waiting on your dashboard when it's due. Then dial.
FreightSource doesn't scrape LinkedIn or guess at company size from ad-tech cookies. The data is HMRC-sourced, official, and refreshed with every monthly release.
FreightSource has transformed how we identify potential clients. The detailed trade data and commodity breakdowns save us hours of research every week.
