Agency export of goods means that the entrusted party is entrusted by the entrusting party to handle matters related to the export of goods and collect a certain amount of agency fees for the export business. The entrusting party is generally an enterprise or individual without the right to engage in export business.
Agency export involves multiple links. Firstly, before the transaction is reached, the agency party assists the entrusting party in finding foreign customers, negotiating orders, and signing export contracts. Then, various documents required for export are handled, such as customs declarations, packing lists, commercial invoices, etc., to ensure the smooth customs clearance of the goods. Meanwhile, the agency party is also responsible for arranging goods transportation, booking shipping space and other logistics matters to ensure that the goods are transported to the destination on time and accurately. In addition, in the foreign exchange collection link, the agency party is responsible for receiving the payment from foreign customers, settling the foreign exchange according to regulations, and then paying the amount to the entrusting party. In short, agency export enables the entrusting party without export qualifications or lacking export experience to carry out export business smoothly.

Agency export can save energy for the entrusting party. For example, some small factories don't have the energy to form a foreign trade team, and it is much more worry-free to find an agency. The agency can also avoid risks with its experience.

In agency export, foreign exchange collection is very important. The agency party should collect foreign exchange in a timely manner and transfer it to the entrusting party. Otherwise, it will affect the capital flow of the entrusting party. The relevant terms of foreign exchange collection should be clearly stated in the contract between the two parties.

From the perspective of cost, agency export is less costly than an enterprise forming its own foreign trade team. The enterprise only needs to pay agency fees and doesn't need to support a group of foreign trade professionals.
