The time required for agency export customs clearance is not fixed and usually takes 1 - 5 working days.
If the goods information is complete, the customs inspection is normal, and the product itself does not belong to special regulatory commodities, the customs clearance can be completed in 1 - 2 working days. For example, for the export of common daily necessities, with complete information, it is possible for a professional agency like Zhongshitong to complete the customs clearance within one day.
However, if there is a customs spot check, especially if the declared information does not match the actual situation of the goods, the customs clearance time will be extended, which may be 3 - 5 working days or even longer. In addition, around holidays, when goods are declared intensively, the customs clearance speed will also be affected. For example, before the Spring Festival, with a large volume of exported goods, the customs clearance may take 3 - 5 days. There are also some special commodities, such as those involving endangered species components, whose customs clearance time is more difficult to determine due to the need for additional approval. Therefore, to speed up customs clearance, it is crucial to prepare accurate and error-free information in advance.

I had a batch of goods before, and the agency completed the customs clearance in 2 days, which was quite smooth. But I also heard that someone waited for a week to successfully clear the customs because the information was incomplete.
