Say what you sell. Portaxo finds who already imports it.

Portaxo (portaxo.com) is trade intelligence software for export teams. You describe a product in plain language; it finds US companies already importing that product from customs shipment records — ranked by fit and activity — and can also find the overseas suppliers shipping it. Contacts and email outreach live in the same workspace. The free plan includes 30 credits a month and needs no card. It is not a raw customs-data subscription: the product's work is the interpretation and ranking.

Describe the product in plain language. Portaxo works out how US customs paperwork files that product — which is rarely the wording a seller would use — and returns the American companies whose shipment records match, ranked by how well they fit and how recently they shipped. Each company shows its shipment volume, last shipment date, size band and product mix, so you can see the evidence behind the ranking rather than take a score on trust.

United States import customs records, refreshed continuously. Coverage is strongest for physical goods entering the US by sea. When a shipper has filed to keep its records confidential, Portaxo says so instead of filling the gap with an estimate presented as fact.

Yes. The same question works in both directions: search a product to find the US companies importing it, or switch to supplier discovery to find the factories already shipping it, along with the customers they ship to.

A data subscription sells you records and leaves the interpretation to you. Portaxo's work is the interpretation — matching a plain-English product to the wording customs files under, ranking companies by fit and activity, verifying which website belongs to which company, and separating a small importer you can actually reach from a retail giant you cannot. Contacts and outreach then run in the same workspace, so a shipment record becomes a conversation without exporting a spreadsheet.

Yes, and every company is labelled by size so you can tell them apart: micro under 250 lifetime shipments, small up to 999, mid up to 4,999, and large above that. A small importer that spends most of its imports on one product is usually a better first email than a large one that buys everything.

Yes. The free plan includes 30 credits a month and needs no card. Credits are spent on the work that costs us money — discovering companies for a product category and unlocking contacts — so browsing what you have already found is free.
