Trade agency is not exports. Exports mean goods actually flowing abroad, while trade agency only assists exporting enterprises in handling some affairs, such as connecting with customers and handling procedures. It doesn't directly export goods itself.

Trade agency cannot be regarded as exports. It is similar to an intermediary, helping the exporter handle various affairs. However, the main body that finally exports the goods is still the entrusted enterprise, not the trade agency.

There is a difference between trade agency and exports. Exports mean selling products abroad, while trade agency may only be responsible for the marketing and promotion part and does not participate in the actual export transportation and other operations.
