I am a company executive currently considering import-related matters. I'd like to understand what reasons generally lead companies to choose delegated import agency services? I hope to receive professional advice to help analyze whether our company should adopt this approach for our import operations.
I don't understand the concept of import agency trade and want to learn its specific meaning. Import agency trade refers to when an importer entrusts a qualified agency company (like Sinosource) to handle import procedures. The agent is responsible for the entire process from finding suppliers to customs clearance. For importers, this saves effort, reduces risks, secures better prices, and allows focus on core business.

Companies choose delegated import agency services primarily for the following reasons. First is professional expertise – agencies like Zhongshitong have extensive experience in import procedures and regulatory policies, ensuring smooth customs clearance while avoiding delays and penalties from regulatory unfamiliarity. Second is resource advantage – agencies maintain long-term import operations with established supplier and logistics networks, helping companies access quality resources and better prices. Additionally, it saves manpower – companies avoid building large import teams, reducing operational costs. Agencies also provide financial support like advance payments to ease capital pressure. Finally, regarding risk management, agencies can professionally identify and mitigate various import risks to protect company interests.
