Aterian Group Inc., an active US importer, focuses on consumer appliances, dehumidifiers, air‑conditioning units and related home‑care products, evident from dominant HS codes 840610, 950320 and 140110 and a product mix repeatedly listing dehumidifiers, stools, bamboo items and electronic accessories. Over the past 18 months the buyer averaged 15–30 shipments per month, totalizing 250‑350 k kg and 20‑45 TEU monthly, with a clear concentration on East‑Asian origins (Shanghai, Yantian, Xiamen, Ningbo) and repeat discharge ports such as Los Angeles, New York/​Newark, Oakland, Savannah and Tacoma, enabling predictable routing. Core suppliers—TCL Delonghi (home‑appliances), Wuhu Maty (air‑conditioning), Xi‑men Yangcheng and various Ningbo manufacturers—account for 60‑70 % of volume, signalling strong, stable demand and offering suppliers a reliable, high‑frequency outlet for scaling production. For customs brokers, Aterian’s shipments exhibit consistent documentation, recurring HS‑code usage and repeat port‑to‑port patterns, which reduce classification disputes and streamline clearance planning, while the steady TEU load supports efficient berth scheduling and risk‑mitigation strategies.
