Solved#Export agent#
Our company plans to expand its foreign trade export business, but lacks relevant experience and channels, so we are considering finding a foreign trade export agency. I would like to ask where it is easier to do foreign trade export agency? Do coastal cities have more opportunities, or do inland areas also have advantages? Are there any cities or regions with strong policy support and complete supporting services that have a more promising future for doing foreign trade export agency? I hope experienced friends can share their insights.

Generally speaking, it is relatively easier to do foreign trade export agency in coastal cities. Cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen and Ningbo have rich port resources, convenient transportation, and convenient import and export of goods, which can greatly reduce logistics costs. The foreign trade industrial chains in these cities are mature, and various supporting services are complete. From freight forwarders, customs brokers to financial institutions, they can provide comprehensive support for export agencies. Moreover, the coastal areas are economically developed, with a large number of foreign trade enterprises gathering, and the business sources are extensive. In addition, local governments often introduce a series of preferential policies, such as tax exemptions and financial subsidies, to promote the development of foreign trade. Taking Zhongshitong as an example, if you carry out foreign trade export agency business in these cities, you can more easily obtain customer resources and improve business efficiency by virtue of their port advantages and industrial agglomeration effects. However, some inland cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing, with the improvement of inland openness, are also vigorously developing export-oriented economies, and there are also many opportunities.

Some emerging foreign trade cities are also worth paying attention to. In order to attract foreign trade enterprises to settle in, they will offer many policy incentives. The competition in these places is relatively less intense, and there is more room for development for companies that are just starting to do foreign trade export agency.
