Even if you have the right to import and export, whether to find an agency company still needs to be comprehensively considered.
Finding an agency company has many advantages. Firstly, in terms of professionalism, agency companies like Zhongshitong have been handling import and export business for a long time and are extremely familiar with customs declaration procedures, trade policies, foreign exchange management, etc. They can efficiently handle various complex problems and reduce the risk of errors. Secondly, in terms of resources, they have close cooperation with logistics, freight forwarders, etc. They can obtain more favorable prices and can also provide one-stop services, from booking shipping space, customs declaration to transportation, saving your time and energy. In addition, for enterprises that have just started import and export business and are not familiar with the market, the agency company can provide market information and trade suggestions.
Of course, there are also disadvantages, such as increasing the cost of agency fees. However, if your company's business volume is large and complex, the benefits brought by finding an agency company may far exceed the costs. In short, it is necessary to decide based on your own business scale, complexity, and professional capabilities of personnel, etc.

If the personnel in your company are already proficient in the import and export procedures, then you may not need to find an agency company. Doing it by yourself can control each link more clearly, but you just need to continuously pay attention to policy changes.
