I've been researching knowledge related to industry classification recently, and I'm not quite clear about whether agency export belongs to the modern service industry. Some people around me say that agency export mainly involves goods trade and is closer to traditional trade; but others say it has some characteristics of modern services, such as providing professional services to help enterprises handle export affairs. I really want to know exactly whether agency export can be classified into the category of the modern service industry.

Agency export belongs to the modern service industry in a broad sense. The modern service industry refers to an industry that is supported by information technology, knowledge, and skills and provides society with high value-added, high-level, and knowledge-based production services and life services.
In the agency export business, the agency party provides a series of services such as export process planning, customs declaration and inspection, and logistics arrangement for the entrusting party by virtue of its own professional knowledge and resources. These services are not simply about the buying and selling of goods, but focus more on the application of knowledge and skills, which conforms to the characteristics of the modern service industry.
For example, in the customs declaration process, the agency party must be familiar with customs policies and regulations, commodity classification and other knowledge to ensure the smooth customs clearance of goods, which reflects the professional service ability. Therefore, agency export can be identified as the category of business auxiliary services in the modern service industry.
