First, choose a reliable agency company, such as Zhongshitong, through industry reputation, online searches, etc. After selecting an agency, sign a detailed agency contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
Next, prepare relevant product materials, such as tire specifications, quality inspection reports, certification documents, etc. Different countries and regions have varying certification requirements for tires, such as the ECE certification in the EU.
The agency typically handles export customs declaration procedures, including preparing customs declarations, packing lists, and other documents to ensure compliant export; arranges transportation, selecting appropriate shipping methods and schedules based on needs; manages customs clearance, assisting foreign clients with port clearance. Additionally, the agency handles payment collection and settlement to ensure secure receipt of funds. Throughout the process, maintain close communication with the agency to stay updated on progress.
