An import and export agency enterprise refers to an enterprise that accepts entrustment to handle the import and export business of goods and technologies for the principal.
They undertake many key tasks in the import and export business. First of all, it provides consulting services to help the entrusting party understand relevant policies, regulations, and trade processes related to import and export. Secondly, it is responsible for contract signing, including negotiating with foreign suppliers or customers and drafting contract terms. Moreover, it handles customs clearance matters, such as preparing customs declaration materials and submitting declarations to the customs. In addition, it will also assist in handling logistics and transportation, foreign exchange collection and settlement, etc.
Unlike ordinary import and export enterprises, an import and export agency enterprise usually does not own the ownership of the imported and exported goods itself. Instead, it conducts business in the name of the entrusting party or its own name and collects agency service fees.

To put it simply, an import and export agency enterprise is similar to an intermediary. When the entrusting party has import and export needs but doesn't have the ability or energy to do it, the agency enterprise will complete a series of operations as required, including document handling, freight arrangement, etc.
