Import agents are usually sought by the following entities. Firstly, enterprises without the right to engage in import and export operations would look for import agents. Although these enterprises have import needs, they themselves do not possess the qualifications to handle import and export operations. With the help of import agents, they can successfully complete the import of goods. Secondly, enterprises unfamiliar with the process of international trade would also seek help. Even if they have the right to engage in import and export, if they lack professional knowledge and experience, it would be extremely difficult to handle complex customs declaration, transportation and other links. Import agents can solve these problems by virtue of their professional advantages. Thirdly, small, medium and micro enterprises, in order to save costs, are unwilling to form professional import and export teams and would choose import agents. Individual overseas shoppers generally would not look for import agents because the volume of individual overseas shopping is small and most of them adopt the direct mail or transshipment mode. In addition, some entities with temporary import needs, such as organizations importing materials for specific activities, would also look for import agents.
