Solved#Import agent#
I'd like to know how SF Express Import Agency is specifically done? I have some commodities that need to be imported from abroad to China. I heard that SF Express has an import agency business, but I don't know the specific process and key points of operation. For a series of links such as from preparing materials to customs declaration and clearance, and then to goods transportation and distribution, how does SF Express handle them? I hope friends who know can explain in detail. Thank you.

If you want to do import agency through SF Express, first of all, you should contact the relevant business personnel of SF Express and inform them of the detailed goods information, including the name, quantity, value, origin, etc. Next, prepare various documents, such as basic documents like commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, etc. Different commodities may also require specific qualification documents, which need to be confirmed in advance.
After SF Express receives the notice of the arrival of the goods at the port, it will arrange customs declaration and clearance. It has a professional team responsible for handling customs declaration procedures to ensure compliance with customs regulations. After clearance is completed, the goods will be arranged for transportation and distribution. During the whole process, SF Express will track the status of the goods in real time and feed back to the customers in a timely manner.
