Where can I find a reliable import and export transportation agent?
Solved#Export agent#
Our company has recently had import and export business and needs to find a professional transportation agent. We haven't been involved in this area before and don't know where to look. We hope the agent company has rich experience in transportation route planning, customs clearance, etc., and it would be best if it could also provide some value-added services. Do any friends familiar with this area could tell me through which channels I can find a suitable import and export transportation agent?
