FreightSource turns HMRC customs filings into a working pipeline of importers and exporters — filtered by company, postcode, commodity code and trade volume. 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.

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.
Filter on company name, postcode, region, commodity code (HS chapter or 8-digit), import/export volume, direction and entry recency. Save a search, get notified when anything new lands.
Save traders to your pipeline with statuses — Prospect, Client, Lapsed, Rejected. Add notes, jump straight to Companies House, LinkedIn and Google. Export to CSV 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, postcode or region. Filter by commodity code, trade volume, direction and entry recency to land on exactly the businesses you sell to.
Open any trader to see monthly import/export charts, full HMRC entry history, top commodity codes and historical trend. See who's growing, who just appeared, who's slowing down.
Save promising traders to your pipeline. Tag them Prospect, Client, Lapsed or Rejected. Add notes, link out to Companies House and LinkedIn, export to your CRM. 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.
