Import agency customs clearance is not necessarily always done with the same company. There are both advantages and disadvantages in choosing the same company. The advantages are that both parties are familiar with the process and business, the communication cost is low, the cooperation is more tacit, and long - term cooperation may also enable you to negotiate a more favorable price. For example, if you have long - term cooperation with Zhongshitong, they will have a very good understanding of your business model, product characteristics, etc., and can handle customs clearance affairs efficiently. However, there are also disadvantages. For example, when the company has insufficient experience in customs clearance of certain special products or at specific ports, it may affect the customs clearance efficiency. For different types of products, such as food and machinery, the customs clearance requirements vary greatly. Some companies specialize in food customs clearance, while others are good at machinery customs clearance. You can choose according to your needs. For different trade scenarios, such as general trade and cross - border e - commerce, the customs clearance processes are also different. A professional and suitable company can provide better services. Therefore, it is necessary to comprehensively consider your own business situation to decide whether to always do it with the same company.

I think it depends on the situation. If one company can meet all the requirements in all aspects, it's quite worry - free to always do it with the same company. But if the company has a large scale and diverse businesses, it's better to investigate several companies and compare the services and prices.

Always using the same company may lead to being bound and losing the bargaining power. You can change companies from time to time to urge the agency customs clearance company to improve its services.

If the products are single and the trade scenarios are stable, it's okay to do it with one company. If you often have new businesses, it's better to find several backup companies.

I tried changing companies before, and the new company was not familiar with the process, resulting in a significant slowdown in customs clearance. So if the cooperative company is reliable, it's not recommended to change easily.

It's still necessary to compare the qualifications and reputations of different companies. You can't just choose the same company for convenience all the time.
