Individual research

Problem Situation

There are indeed many sources of foreign trade information but the content is often not as current nor reliable as required. Furthermore, many important specific questions can not be adequately answered by general information only.

What We Can Do For You

In addition to our vast experience in publishing foreign trade information, we have been carrying out tailored researches for our clients for over a decade in the area of foreign trade, with an emphasis on tariff and non-tariff measures of third countries. This research is also possible for countries which are currently not contained in the modules of MendelOnline.

Our Approach

We currently have a data pool with information on import formalities and customs tariffs for more than 180 countries. For special issues, we directly contact our network in the third countries or get in touch with our contacts in the concerned authorities so that specific questions can be researched and resolved on the spot.

To establish measures imposed by third countries, we use customer information which may have product codes from different nomenclatures in their different versions, as may be contained, e.g., in parts lists.

Your Results

The results will be prepared according your wishes, e.g. as clear dossiers or as interface-compatible data formats ready for download to your IT system – just as you require it.

Contact us with your questions under info@mendel-online.eu and we shall promptly make you an offer for the provision of the desired information.
