To set the stage for where you can find it let’s first discuss why it is important. Customs data  gives you the flow of goods across the border of individual countries. It contains information of what is traded in the market, who does so and at what rates. It also allows you to read market trends, seek for new partners, and make correct business choices.

Suppose that you are prospecting on exporting dates from the UAE to Europe. You would like to be able to identify the countries that are importing dates presently, the amount that they import and the cost. Such information enables you to price your products right and to market them in the right niche. If you don’t have customs data, you are flying blind or, at best, evidentiary parachutes are being pulled at the last moment.
