Solved#Other issues#
I'm planning to import flatbed trucks recently and want to find an agent to handle the related matters. But I don't know much about the import agents for flatbed trucks and don't know if they are reliable. I'd like to ask everyone, how are the import agents for flatbed trucks? How much help can they provide in the customs declaration, transportation and other processes? Will they overcharge and increase the import cost? Are there any special precautions during the cooperation process? I hope friends with experience can share, thank you.
