- Code product description (the wording attached to the HS code): -- Designed for use solely with light-emitting diode (LED) light sources
- Detailed product name (the specific item): 26 PIECES LED ALPHABETS LETTERS S/S
- Use: filter by HS code first, then keyword-search the detailed product name to find the exact SKU family

USD: amount 0, weight-unit price 0, quantity-unit price 0
CNY: total amount 0, weight-unit price 0

- Industry: Others
In this sample the goods were declared by Ghana importer: DIAN NAO PEI JIAN.
Q7: What do the weight and quantity fields mean?
Weight and quantity fields are recorded separately, and unit prices are derived from each basis:
- Gross weight: 13 KGM
- Net weight: 13 KGM (= 0.013 metric ton)
- Quantity: 26 KGM
- Take care: compare unit prices only on the same basis - weight-unit prices and quantity-unit prices are not interchangeable
Q8: How do I use Ghana data to develop buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter records where the ghana importer is in Ghana (GH) and the HS code matches your product line
2. De-duplicate buyers by importer company code
3. Grade each buyer by purchase frequency and value (month, USD amount, declaration-level value summary)
4. Look at which exporter they currently buy from, then pitch the same category
Sample application: DIAN NAO PEI JIAN (U2608310273) imported 26 PIECES LED ALPHABETS LETTERS S/S from China, so similar products can be pitched to the same buyer profile.
Q9: How do I build a pricing or cost model with this data?
Steps:
1. Extract the value fields: USD amount 0 and USD weight-unit price 0; local-currency amount 0 GHS; CNY amount 0
2. Note the Incoterms (sample: not stated) to know which cost elements are inside the declared value
3. Add duty and tax from the tax fields (Duty rate 20%; payable duty rate 20%; duty / FOB / CIF amounts all 0) to move from customs value to landed cost
4. Recalculate margin in the currency you actually settle in
Sample application: "26 PIECES LED ALPHABETS LETTERS S/S" declared under HS 9405610000, 13 KGM, origin China.
Q10: How do I screen clearance channels and logistics routes?
Steps:
1. Group records by customs broker / agent, customs agent, or logistics company (PORTFIELD SHIPPING & LOGISTICS LTD)
2. Count declaration volume and total net weight handled by each one
3. Review the customs office and port used (sample: - / CEPS KIA)
4. Prioritize the brokers who already clear your product category
Sample application: this declaration was cleared through PORTFIELD SHIPPING & LOGISTICS LTD (code C0060954973).
Q11: How do I analyse import trends with Ghana data?
Analysis dimensions:
1. Time: aggregate month, USD amount, net weight and record count using the month and clearance date fields
2. Origin: compare country of origin and exporter country shares
3. Product: rank HS codes, sub-industry and industry by value
4. Channel: compare customs offices, ports and brokers to see how flows split
Sample application: the sample is a 202608 record (import), HS 9405610000, which can be used as one data point in a monthly trend line.
Q12: How do I screen price anomalies and audit declared value?
Screening method:
1. Compare the line-level unit price (USD weight-unit price 0) with the same-indicator distribution on the same HS code
2. Check weight consistency (net weight 13 KGM against the declaration-level weight where available)
3. Flag records whose values are reported as 0 or whose duty is fully exempted, and exclude them from price averages
4. Manually review outliers that deviate far from the category median
Sample: Duty rate 20%; payable duty rate 20%; duty / FOB / CIF amounts all 0.
Q13: Why are all value amounts recorded as 0 in the Ghana sample?
The Ghana sample is a declaration-level record with all monetary fields reported as 0:
- Zero fields: USD amount 0, CNY 0, Cedi 0, FOB USD 0, CIF USD 0, duty 0
- Non-zero fields: gross and net weight 13 KGM, quantity 26 KGM, duty rate 20%, customs procedure code 4001
- Interpretation: this is normally a free-of-charge, sample, return or warehoused consignment, or a record whose value fields were not published
- Practical rule: when filtering Ghana records for market sizing, exclude zero-value lines first, otherwise averages will be dragged down
