The client communicates their needs with the agency company (such as Zhongshitong), including information about the goods, trade methods, etc. Next, the agency company assists the client in conducting market research and finding suitable suppliers or buyers. After determining the cooperation partners, relevant contracts are signed. The agency company is responsible for reviewing the contract terms to protect the client's rights and interests. Then, import and export related procedures are handled, such as customs declaration, inspection application, preparing various documents to ensure compliance with customs requirements. In the transportation link, the agency will select the appropriate transportation method and carrier according to the characteristics of the goods and the client's requirements. During the transportation of the goods, the agency tracks the movement of the goods and feeds back to the client in a timely manner. After the goods arrive at the destination port, assistance is provided for handling subsequent matters such as picking up the goods and customs clearance until the goods are delivered to the client, completing the entire import and export trade process.
