Common entities providing import customs clearance agency services mainly include professional customs brokers, comprehensive freight forwarding companies, and some large supply chain management enterprises. Professional customs brokers are highly skilled in customs procedures with deep understanding of customs policies and regulations, enabling efficient handling of various clearance issues. Freight forwarding companies not only provide customs clearance services but can also integrate other logistics processes like transportation, offering one-stop solutions. Large supply chain management enterprises have abundant resources to provide end-to-end services from procurement to distribution. When selecting, verify whether the entity has legal customs clearance qualifications, such as the Customs Declaration Entity Registration Certificate of the People's Republic of China. Also assess their experience through client evaluations and years in operation. Service capability and reasonable pricing are equally important.
