In CargoFax, food and snack trade is measured by packages. US and Haiti bills of lading carry the package quantity and the declared package type. Package types include cartons, cases, or pallets where the shipper declares them. Food and snack trade is also measured by weight in tonnes. US and Haiti bills of lading carry the gross weight. Declarations in Mexico, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Uruguay carry gross or net weight.

To find importers of food and snack products, search HS 1905.31, 1905.90, 1806.90, 1704.90, 1902.30, 2106.90, 2009.90, and 2008.99 in CargoFax Atlas Explorer. US bills of lading name the consignee and the foreign shipper on most shipments. Haiti records name the importer and the shipper. Atlas Explorer ranks food and snack importers by packages, weight in tonnes, or containers, and by declared value in the markets that carry it. undefined
