Import Genius

Import Genius is a really cool site worth noting for the future as it could offer implications for tracking trends in commodity shipments:

As described by the site:

"Within minutes of subscribing, you'll have access to lists of all of your competitor's suppliers and all of your supplier's customers in the United States."

Import Genius provides timely, detailed shipment data mined directly from the US Customs Automated Manifest System (AMS). Our user base is diverse: importers, exporters, entrepreneurs, freight forwarders, bankers, private investigators, foreign factories, and more.
