Why businesses choose ImportGenius

Flexible pricing design

Unlike Volza’s rigid, one-size-fits-all subscription model, ImportGenius offers multiple plan options and à la carte datasets that include high-value trade corridors and hard-to-access regions. Businesses can scale their access as they expand internationally without hidden fees or long negotiations. Only pay for the data you need!

High-quality data you can trust

ImportGenius taps into US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Homeland Security, foreign governments, and private partnerships to deliver the most comprehensive trade data available. 

Our trade data has been cited by The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and Bloomberg and used by Fortune 500s, investigative journalists, and federal agencies.

Always up to date with daily shipment data 

ImportGenius refreshes US data daily and updates international datasets as soon as they become available. Volza operates on a slow update cycle, with some datasets taking up to two months to refresh. That delay could cost you critical insights and business opportunities.

Robust, credit-free search and download 

No credit systems. No partial fields.

ImportGenius gives you full, rich data exports—plus verified contact info researched by our internal intelligence team. It’s actionable data.

Volza’s search and download of shipments require navigating a complex limits and point system depending on the data or country, with some countries requiring 10 points per shipment. 

Built on trust with 50,000+ satisfied customers

ImportGenius is the trusted choice of government agencies, global organizations, journalists, and trade professionals worldwide. With over 10,000 clients relying on our data for crucial business decisions, we stand as the industry leader in trade intelligence. 

Volza, by comparison, serves only around 1,000 clients, making it a far less established player in the field.
