I am trying to find Canadian CPG companies who are sourcing products from China. Any idea how I can achieve this with clay? I have tried few approaches but its expensive and time consuming. Looking for smarter ways to find it.
To find Canadian CPG companies sourcing from China using Clay, follow these steps: 1. Create a new workbook in Clay. 2. Use the Find Company search feature to define your search parameters: • Set location filter to Canada • Set industry filter to CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods) • Use keywords related to China sourcing (e.g., "China import", "Chinese suppliers") 3. Set a record limit to manage credit usage, especially if you have auto-update enabled. 4. Click "Preview Company" to review the results and refine your criteria if needed. 5. Once satisfied, import the results into a new or existing table in Clay. This approach should help you efficiently identify Canadian CPG companies likely to be sourcing from China. If you need more assistance, you can request human help by clicking "Talk to a person" in this chat.

Andi D. I tried checking about sections, or any mentions of it on their website. Many of the time, claygent doesnt give accurate info. Was thinking of apify to scrape the entire website and then gpt to check it. Need a scalable way though. Edit - tried using google search. It worked for most parts. So I will consider that for now but still not very accurate
To find Canadian CPG companies sourcing from China using Clay in a scalable and accurate way: 1. Create a new workbook in Clay. 2. Use the Find Company search feature with these parameters: • Location: Canada • Industry: Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) • Keywords: "China import", "Chinese suppliers", "sourcing from China" 3. Set a record limit to manage credit usage. 4. Use the Preview Companies feature to review and refine your results. 5. Import the data into a new or existing table. To improve accuracy: ** Use multiple keyword combinations ** Utilize Clay's filtering options to narrow results * Consider using the "write to table" feature for custom data processing If you need more advanced solutions, you might want to explore integrating external tools with Clay's data.

Hey Sunny - How do you typically find this information? Are there specific methods you've been using, such as: ** Checking custom logs ** Looking at websites or associations we could scrape * Other data sources If you tell me you your current approach would help me suggest a more efficient way to find Canadian CPG companies sourcing from China.
That's a great workflow! Import Genius is another tool that can help you understand more about importers. While it's somewhat limited to the United States, it typically provides good data for Canada as well.
yeah thats a great source. It gives me info about ports too which I can cross check if they are from China or any other country but a bit out of my range with $199pm
Sorry about the pricing constraint. For more affordable alternatives, consider using boolean search strategies with specific industry keywords. Try searching for "export directories canada china" or "customs data companies trading with china" in Google. You could also leverage public trade databases like: ** International Trade Commission data ** UN Comtrade Database (free but requires some data analysis skills) * Your country's statistical agency (they often publish aggregate trade data) that might be able to help I'd basically try to explore for open-source data that is available online and then replicate this search in Clay for a larger scale option! :)
Hey Sunny I noticed you reopened this ticket. Is there anything we can do for you?
Feel free to keep this conversation going or create a new ticket.
