Introductions a trade agent, working from customs records

We introduce you to the buyers already importing what you make.

We work from customs records — the logged shipments of who actually imported what, where and how often. That tells us which distributors already buy your category. Then we make the introduction on your behalf and hand you the ones who answer.

Sample shown for illustration. Every message goes out from us, as your export agent — never from your domain — and you approve it before it sends. Replies come straight to you.

Who we make introductions for

Manufacturers

Private label & OEM

Reach the brands and retailers already importing the category you produce.

Food & drink producers

Get in front of specialty importers, wholesalers and retail buyers.

Trading companies

A continuous flow of new buyers, without the trade-show cycle.

Need suppliers instead?

Introductions run both ways — we can find and introduce manufacturers and exporters to you.

What an introduction company should be

An old job, rebuilt on customs data.

01

Buyers found in customs records

Every border crossing is logged. We start from those records — companies with a documented history of importing your exact category, with the shipment count and the route. Not a guess that they might buy. A receipt showing they already do.

02

We reach the person who signs

A company name is useless on its own. We find the buyer who signs — import director, category buyer, head of procurement — in the local language and title, then verify the address before anything is sent.

03

We make the introduction

The introduction comes from us, in our own name, from our own infrastructure — the way a trade agent has always worked. Nothing to set up on your side, your domain is never used, you approve every message, and interested buyers reply straight to you.

Why customs records

“They already import it” is the point, not the problem.

The obvious objection: if a distributor already imports this category, why would they want another supplier? Because the record isn’t proof they want one. It’s proof they can be one — import licence, customs broker, warehousing, retail relationships, and a buyer whose actual job is your category. That takes years to build, and most companies never do. Everything after that is a conversation worth having.

01

Distributors buy ranges, not products

A honey importer carries eight honey lines, not one. Adding a supplier isn’t replacing one — it’s how their shelf works.

02

The records show origin, not just product

If they import bulk from one region and you’re single-origin European, you’re not competing for the same shelf. You’re a tier they don’t stock. No other data source shows you this.

03

One supplier is a risk, not a moat

Single origin, single route, single point of failure. Second-sourcing is standard procurement practice — usually something they’re already thinking about.

04

Volume and frequency show who’s growing

An importer whose shipments jumped this year has demand they’re scrambling to cover. That’s visible in the record, months before it’s visible anywhere else.

And in reverse

The same records tell us who not to contact. A company importing two hundred containers of your exact product from an entrenched supplier is a bad target — and we find that out from the data, not after four follow-ups on your behalf.

How this is different

A receipt, not a hypothesis.

Software guesses who might buy. An introduction should start from who already does.

How buyers are found Customs records — companies that physically imported your category Job title + company filters Firmographics + web signals Firmographics + tech stack Manual research, varies
Proof they actually buy Yes — shipment count and route No No No Rarely
Niche & non-English markets Strong — built for importers, distributors, wholesalers Thin — buyers often inactive on LinkedIn Thin — tuned for tech and SaaS Thin outside US tech Depends entirely on the agency
Message personalisation Written from their actual import history Template with merge fields AI from website and news You write it yourself Human-written, slow
Realistic volume Thousands per month ~100–200 invites per week, capped 150–600 per month on self-serve tiers Data only — you supply sending Limited by their headcount
Account risk None — your own domains, email only High — breaks LinkedIn's terms, bans rising Low Low Low
Who answers replies You do — they land in your inbox You do Bot, or you You do The agency, with a delay
Work required from you Answer the interested ones Build lists, write copy, babysit limits Run and steer the tool yourself Everything after the export Briefings and check-in calls
Honestly, they're better at Social proof and warming a name Self-serve for US tech sales teams Bulk US contact data Complex enterprise deals

We're not the right fit for everyone — if you sell software to US tech companies, use one of the others.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Customs and shipment records. When goods cross a border they're logged — who imported what, from where, how often. So instead of guessing which companies might want your product, we start from the ones with a documented history of importing your exact category into your target market. Then we find the buyer at that company and verify their email.

It's email, and it's the first contact — but we can show you exactly why each company was picked. If a buyer asks "why are you writing to me," the honest answer is "because you imported fourteen shipments of this category last year." That's the difference between relevant outreach and spam, and it's why the reply rates hold up.

Most of them will — that's exactly what makes them worth contacting. The customs record isn't proof they want another supplier; it's proof they can be one: import licence, customs broker, warehousing, retail relationships, and a buyer whose job is your category. That infrastructure takes years, and it's why a company with no import history is usually a dead end no matter how well it fits on paper.

Beyond that — distributors carry ranges rather than single products, the records show origin so you may be a tier they don't stock, and single-supplier dependency is a procurement risk they're often already trying to solve. It also works the other way: if the data shows someone importing heavily from an entrenched competitor, we deprioritise them instead of spending your outreach on it.

Fair — don't take our word for it. Tell us what you make and which two markets you want, and we'll come back with 40 companies that already import that category there, the decision-maker at each, and the first message we'd send. You look at the list. If those aren't real buyers, we stop and you've lost nothing. If they are, we run a small paid pilot before any commitment.

You do. Interested buyers reply straight to your inbox. You know your pricing, MOQs, certifications and lead times better than any agency could, and a relayed answer costs a day and loses detail. We handle finding them, writing, sending and following up. You handle the conversation that matters.

We never touch your domain. Everything goes out from Jørg Digital's own established, warmed infrastructure, and we write as what we actually are — your export agent making an introduction. That's ordinary practice in trade, and it means your domain, your deliverability and your sender reputation stay completely out of it. Nothing to set up on your side, and we can start in days rather than weeks.

Every recipient has a documented history of importing your category, so the message reads as a supplier introduction — normal correspondence in trade, not an interruption.

Anything physical that crosses a border — food and drink, hardware, industrial components, consumer goods, health products. It works best in exactly the places generic databases are weakest: niche categories and non-English markets, where the buyer is a family-run distributor in Milan rather than a VP of Sales in San Francisco. If you sell software to US tech companies, we're not the right fit.
