How to evaluate an office supplies supplier

What to compare in the evidence before you shortlist.

  • Product descriptions and HS codes against what you need to buy — they describe what moved, not the company’s full range.
  • Recency: the latest shipment date, and whether shipments recur or were a one-off.
  • Buyer relationships: how many US buyers, and whether any repeat.
  • Origin and loading ports, for lead time and routing.
  • Shipment consistency across the analysed window.
What customs data cannot confirmCustoms activity does not verify product quality, certifications, production capacity, minimum order quantities, pricing, lead times, or willingness to take on a new buyer.

Methodology and limitations

Counts are suppliers named as shipper on US ocean import records, after forwarders and consolidators are removed; shipments are bills of lading in the analysed window; the industry is classified from each supplier’s own descriptions. Air, road and rail freight are not included. Full definitions, update cadence and limitations: methodology.

How does Mati verify that a supplier is active?

A supplier is listed because its name appears as the shipper on at least one US ocean import record. ‘Active’ means the latest shipment date shown on its profile; the analysed window and the data update date are stated on every page. Activity is evidence that goods moved — it is not a certification, a quality check, or a statement of capacity.

Does shipment activity prove product quality?

No. Shipment counts, buyers and recency show trade activity only. They do not verify product quality, certifications, production capacity, minimum order quantities, pricing, lead times, or whether a company will take on a new buyer. Use the evidence to shortlist, then verify directly.

Can I find US distributors instead of importing?
