Export agents mainly have the following classifications. According to the scope of services, they can be divided into full-process export agents and partial-process export agents. Full-process export agents, like agents such as Zhongshitong, will handle the entire export process from receiving orders, booking shipping space, customs declaration, commodity inspection to foreign exchange collection and tax rebate; partial-process agents are only responsible for several of these links, such as only being responsible for customs declaration and booking shipping space.
According to the settlement method, they can be divided into buyout-type export agents and commission-type export agents. For buyout-type export agents, the agent purchases goods from the supplier at the buyout price, undertakes the export risks by itself and obtains profits; for commission-type export agents, the agent charges a commission according to a certain proportion of the export amount and does not undertake the risks of goods trading.
According to the agent subject, they can be divided into professional foreign trade company agents and comprehensive enterprise agents. Professional foreign trade companies focus on foreign trade agency business and have rich experience; comprehensive enterprises may provide agency services while engaging in their own businesses.
