The UK exporters database built from HMRC customs data.
Search every company exporting from the UK, filtered by commodity code, postcode and trade volume. A UK exporters database sourced from official HMRC filings, not scraped lists, so every exporter you call has actually shipped.
A UK exporters database is a searchable record of the companies shipping goods out of the UK. FreightSource builds one from official HMRC customs filings, so every exporter is a real trading entity you can search by name, postcode and commodity code, then save and call.
Find the right UK exporters, not just a long list.
A raw list of UK exporters is only useful if you can cut it to the ones worth calling. FreightSource is built for that.
Search and filter
By company or postcode. Look up a specific exporter, or search a postcode with a radius to find exporters near a depot, port or sales patch.
By commodity. Filter by HS2 chapter and HS4 heading to pull every UK exporter active in a product category.
By activity. Sort on recent export months and peak export entries to separate regular exporters from one-off shipments.
What each exporter record shows
Company name and address from the HMRC customs data, full postcode, export months, export entries at peak, and a trade history broken down by month and commodity code.
Direct link-outs to Companies House, LinkedIn and Google, so you can qualify and reach the exporter without leaving the record.
A list of UK exporters you can trust, because it is the official record.
Most exporter lists are scraped or bought. This one is built from the filings exporters make to HMRC.
What we don't do
No scraped directories. A listing tells you a company exists, not that it exports.
No recycled lead lists. If you bought one, you are calling the same names as every competitor.
No inference. Every exporter in the database has a customs entry behind them.
Built for sales, not analysts
Save any exporter, tag it through a pipeline from Prospect to Client, and keep timestamped notes on every call. Export your saved list to CSV on Pro, straight into your CRM.

What is a UK exporters database?
A UK exporters database is a searchable record of the companies exporting goods from the UK. FreightSource builds one from official HMRC customs filings, so every company listed has actually declared an export, not been scraped from a directory or a recycled lead list.
Where does the exporter data come from?
From HMRC's monthly UK trade statistics, which record the customs entries declared by UK businesses. FreightSource ingests every release and groups each trader's filings together, so you see one exporter rather than several spelling variants of the same name, with a Companies House link-out to confirm the entity.
Can I search UK exporters by what they export?
Yes. You can filter exporters by commodity code at HS2 chapter and HS4 heading level, so you can pull every UK exporter active in a given product category, then narrow by company name or postcode.
How current is the list of UK exporters?
It refreshes with every monthly HMRC release. Each exporter record shows how many recent months they have been active and their peak entry count, so you can tell a one-off shipment from a regular exporter.
Does the database cover both importers and exporters?
Yes. HMRC data covers both directions; around 27% of records are exports and 73% imports, mirroring UK trade flows. Many companies do both, and their record shows import and export activity side by side. There is a separate UK importers database view for import-led prospecting.
