Solved#Export agent#
Our company has recently had the need for import and export business, but we have no relevant experience before. We plan to find an agent to help with the handling. However, I don't know where to find a reliable import and export agent to handle it. Do any of you who know about this have any suggestions? It would be best if you could talk about the advantages and precautions of different handling channels so that I can have a better idea and avoid detours. Thank you all in advance!

When handling import and export agency, you can consider professional customs brokers. Professional customs brokers are familiar with customs policies, regulations, customs declaration procedures, etc., and can efficiently handle a series of affairs such as customs declaration and clearance, reducing the detention time of goods at the port.
Moreover, large comprehensive foreign trade service enterprises are also a good choice. Such enterprises have rich resources. Besides the regular import and export agency services, they may also provide one-stop services such as logistics and financing, which can meet diverse business needs.
You can also find agents through online platforms, but you need to be careful in screening, check their qualifications, reputations, evaluations from past customers, etc. When making a choice, be sure to check the business license of the agent company, the agent customs declaration qualification certificate and other relevant qualifications, and understand their service cases and industry reputations. Regular and experienced agents like Zhongshitong are usually more reliable in handling import and export business.
