FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is ExporterIQ? +
ExporterIQ is a trade and company intelligence platform. It combines shipment history, ownership structure, director records, and a sourced compliance timeline for importers and exporters worldwide — built for due diligence rather than casual browsing.
Where does the data come from? +
Records are manually compiled and entered by our team from public filings, trade documentation, and other verifiable sources. Compliance and adverse media entries are always dated and cited with a source.
What's the difference between the free and paid tiers? +
Free accounts can search and see a limited preview of each company profile. Paid accounts get full shipment history, ownership and director details, the compliance record, contact details, and CSV/PDF export.
Can I rely on ExporterIQ instead of formal compliance screening? +
No. ExporterIQ is a research and due diligence aid, not a substitute for formal KYC, AML, or sanctions screening. For official sanctions determinations, always check the relevant government source directly (e.g. OFAC, UK HMT, EU sanctions lists).
I found an error in a company record — how do I report it? +
Please contact us with the company name and what looks incorrect. We review every correction request.
Can I add or request a company that isn't listed yet? +
Yes — reach out with the company details and we'll look into adding it.
