Solved#Other issues#
I'm planning to do import and export business recently, but I don't know much about import and export agents. I'd like to ask what the general characteristics of import and export agents are. I heard that using import and export agents can save a lot of trouble. Is it true? I hope someone who knows the business can explain it in detail so that I can have a clear idea and then decide whether to ask an agent to help handle import and export related affairs.
