Some commodities may also require approvals such as the Automatic Import License.

An export agency business refers to an export business model in which the principal signs an agency export contract with the agent, and the agent is responsible for handling procedures such as customs declaration and foreign exchange settlement of the exported goods and charges a certain agency fee.
In actual operation, the principal needs to provide the goods and relevant information, such as product information, commercial invoices, etc. The agent, like a professional agency company like Zhongshitong, relies on its own experience and qualifications to handle a series of export processes, including chartering ships, booking shipping space, customs declaration, and inspection. After the goods are exported, the agent is responsible for collecting the foreign exchange and paying the principal the amount after deducting the agency fee according to the contract.
Compared with a general export business, in an export agency business, the principal does not need to have complex export qualifications and experience, which lowers the threshold for entering the international market. While a general export business requires the enterprise to have a complete export system and capabilities.

Put simply, an export agency business is when an enterprise without export qualifications looks for a qualified agency company to help export goods. The agency company helps handle the export process and finally gives the money to the entrusting enterprise, making a profit from the agency fee.
