The goals of import agents are not as simple as just helping to import goods.
Firstly, one of the important goals is to ensure compliant import. One should be familiar with and strictly abide by the relevant trade policies, regulations and customs procedures requirements at home and abroad to avoid problems such as goods detention and fines caused by violations.
Secondly, it is to ensure the smooth delivery of goods. From communicating and coordinating with foreign suppliers, arranging transportation, handling customs clearance procedures, to finally delivering the goods safely and on time to the location designated by the client, the whole process should be well controlled.
Moreover, it is to help clients control costs. By reasonably planning transportation methods, choosing the appropriate time for customs declaration, etc., various expenses in the import process can be reduced, such as freight charges, tariffs, storage fees, etc.
Also, it is to provide professional consulting services. For example, providing accurate and useful suggestions to clients on product market access conditions, tax rates, etc., so that clients can make more sensible import decisions.
