Logistics can handle import operations. Many comprehensive logistics enterprises, such as Zhongshitong, have the ability to act as import agents.
The general process of logistics agency for import usually includes: First, the client signs an import agency contract with the logistics agency to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties. Then, the logistics agency helps with the processing of import documents for the goods, such as bills of lading, packing lists, and invoices, all of which need to be accurate. After that, arrange the transportation of the goods, pick up the goods from the foreign supplier and transport them to the designated port or airport in China. After the goods arrive at the port, customs clearance procedures need to be completed. This step involves professional operations such as customs declaration and inspection, and requires familiarity with customs policies and relevant regulations. Finally, deliver the goods to the client.
For people who are not very familiar with import operations, choosing a logistics agency for import is a good option. They can make the import process smoother with their professional knowledge and experience.

Import agency involves quite a few documents. When the logistics agency helps prepare them, we should also get to know them ourselves to facilitate following up on the progress, such as the certificate of origin.
