Is Dalian import and export agency really legitimate?
I recently have import/export business needs and want to find a Dalian-based agency, but I'm worried about unprofessional practices. I've heard some agencies impose random charges during operations, show low efficiency, or even lose cargo. Could anyone tell me: Are Dalian import/export agencies legitimate? Are there reliable ways to assess them? I'd appreciate insights from experienced friends. Thanks!

Dalian has both legitimate and some unprofessional import/export agencies. To assess legitimacy: First, check qualifications—legitimate agencies should have relevant business licenses and import/export rights. Second, examine industry reputation through online reviews or peer recommendations. Third, review service processes and fee standards—legitimate agencies have clear procedures and transparent pricing without hidden costs. For example, professional agencies like Zhongshitong have expert teams well-versed in policies, ensuring efficient operations and cargo safety while maintaining detailed communication with clients. Comprehensive evaluation increases chances of finding legitimate agencies.
