- Code product description (the wording attached to the HS code): Other: Other electric luminaires and lighting fitting
- Detailed product name (the specific item): FILL LAMP
- Use: filter by HS code first, then keyword-search the detailed product name to find the exact SKU family

- Gross weight: 1,000 Kg
- Net weight: 1,000 Kg (= 1 metric ton)
- Quantity: 1,000 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 Zambia data to develop buyers?
Steps:
1. Filter records where the zambia importer is in Zambia (ZM) 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: ZHENGBANG DEHENG INVESTMENTS LTD (-) imported FILL LAMP 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 399 and USD weight-unit price 0.39861; CNY amount 2,685; contract value 300 USD
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 (Contract USD amount 399.696; contract USD unit price 0.3997) to move from customs value to landed cost
4. Recalculate margin in the currency you actually settle in
Sample application: "FILL LAMP" declared under HS 940549000000, 1,000 Kg, origin China (CN).
Q10: How do I screen clearance channels and logistics routes?
Steps:
1. Group records by customs broker / agent, customs agent, or logistics company (TANTEKCO. LIMITED)
2. Count declaration volume and total net weight handled by each one
3. Review the customs office and port used (sample: DAR CUSTOMS SERVICE CENTRE / -)
4. Prioritize the brokers who already clear your product category
Sample application: this declaration was cleared through TANTEKCO. LIMITED (code 130058019).
Q11: How do I analyse import trends with Zambia 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 940549000000, 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 0.39861) with the same-indicator distribution on the same HS code
2. Check weight consistency (net weight 1,000 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: Contract USD amount 399.696; contract USD unit price 0.3997.
