Match request
Buyer submits a free match request: HS code(s), optional product description, target origins if known, volume band. Draft form on this preview — nothing stored yet.
How matching works
From shipment signal to free intro.
Globex is an AI matching product — a two-sided import marketplace: US demand matched to worldwide supply that already proves the lane. Ranked match from trade / shipment signals is the wedge; density and intros are the product. Not a trading company.
Buyer path
Match request → US-lane shortlist → Matched intro
Matching is the product. Bring your HS — any category we can match on US-lane signals. You do not browse a catalog — you submit a need, we shortlist from US-lane shipment signals, then make a free matched intro while we densify.
US-lane shortlist
We shortlist sellers who already appear on relevant US import lanes — priority origins Vietnam, India, Mexico — customs-proven / lane-proven, not storefront ads.
Matched intro
Warm intro with the right fit. Free while we densify. You talk samples, terms, and POs directly. No take-rate until density justifies it.
AI matching ≠ catalog · not a trading company. Globex ≠ EximAgent. Timing depends on density in your HS and origin cluster — we will not invent SLAs.
Seller mirror
How sellers get into the loop
Same network, other side. Create a free seller profile; we prioritize proven US-lane shippers for buyer match requests in your HS cluster.
- Create a free seller profile — HS, origin, US shipping history (or readiness).
- Lane proof first — factories already on (or able to prove) US lanes from VN / IN / MX get priority in your HS cluster.
- Warm match requests — routed when US buyers post in your cluster. No pay-to-rank storefront.
Straight answers
Common objections
- “Is the match free?” Yes for match request + intro while we densify. Commission later only if density and closed trades justify it.
- “How long does a shortlist take?” Depends on density in your HS and origin cluster. We will not invent day-count SLAs on this draft.
- “Is this a catalog?” No. Matching on US-lane signals — not Alibaba-style SKU grids or pay-to-rank ads.

Economics
Why intros are free early
Acquisition-first: we need live buyers and live sellers before monetization. Commission % of closed value comes only after liquidity gates — not as an early wall.
