Recently, I came across the concept of an export agency company and I'm not quite sure what it actually does. I know that there are many processes and procedures in doing export business. What role does the export agency company play in it? What are the differences between it and ordinary foreign trade companies? Could you please explain to me in a simple way what an export agency company means? It would be better if you could give an example to illustrate, which would be more convenient for me to understand.

An export agency company, simply put, is a professional institution that helps enterprises handle matters related to exports. Many enterprises want to do export business, but they may lack professional knowledge, resources or energy to deal with the complex export process. At this time, the export agency company can play its role.

For example, an export agency company like Zhongshitong will assist enterprises in handling a series of procedures such as export customs declaration, freight forwarding, foreign exchange collection and settlement, and export tax rebate. Taking a factory that produces toys as an example, the factory wants to export its products to the United States, but it is not familiar with the trade policies of the United States, the customs declaration process, and how to find a reliable freight company. Zhongshitong can rely on its own professional advantages to help the factory understand the import requirements of the United States, complete the preparation of customs declaration documents, arrange the transportation of goods, and handle the subsequent work of foreign exchange collection and tax rebate, allowing the factory to focus on production. It is different from ordinary foreign trade companies. Most foreign trade companies buy out products and then export and sell them on their own to make a profit, while export agency companies mainly rely on charging agency service fees and do not own the ownership of the goods.

An export agency company is like the "housekeeper" of export business. For example, if an enterprise wants to export goods but cannot handle the cumbersome procedures by itself, the agency company can help handle them all in one stop, from booking shipping space to customs declaration, from document preparation to payment collection, providing full-process services.

Export agency companies mainly use their own channels and experience to help enterprises solve export problems. For example, if an enterprise cannot find a suitable international logistics company, the agency company has cooperative logistics providers and can arrange things properly to ensure the smooth transportation of goods.
