- Net weight: 384 Kg (= 0.384 metric ton)
- Quantity: 384 Kilogram
- 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 Uganda data to develop buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter records where the uganda importer is in Uganda (UG) 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)
4. Look at which exporter they currently buy from, then pitch the same category
Sample application: ZONGLIN LIGHTING LTD (1050464303) imported CHINA LIGHTING FITTINGS-MS-WL1209-H from China (CN), 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 1,864 and USD weight-unit price 4.85; local-currency amount 6,966,346 UGX; CNY amount 12,631
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 (Tax in shillings 0) to move from customs value to landed cost
4. Recalculate margin in the currency you actually settle in
Sample application: "CHINA LIGHTING FITTINGS-MS-WL1209-H" declared under HS 94059990000, 384 Kg.
Q10: How do I screen clearance channels and logistics routes?
Steps:
1. Read the transport mode and entry point of each record (sample: -)
2. Group by origin country to see which corridor your competitors use
3. Compare declared unit prices between corridors
Sample application: goods entered from China (CN).
Q11: How do I analyse import trends with Uganda 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. Supplier: profile the main exporters and their declared unit prices
Sample application: the sample is a 202607 record (import), HS 94059990000, 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 4.85) with the same-indicator distribution on the same HS code
2. Check weight consistency (net weight 384 Kg 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: Tax in shillings 0.
