It is necessary to keep track of the movement of the goods in a timely manner. For example, check if there are any abnormalities during the transportation of the goods, such as delays caused by weather factors. Communicate well with the entrusting party. Also, when receiving foreign exchange, pay attention to exchange rate fluctuations. If the exchange rate changes significantly, it may affect the profit. If necessary, some exchange rate hedging measures can be taken.
