Import agency customs declaration is quite good. If you do the customs declaration by yourself, you have to study all kinds of complicated policies and arrange a special person to go through the procedures, which is too tiring.

I think import agency customs declaration is good. Previously, our company did the customs declaration by ourselves, and it was delayed for a long time because of a small mistake. If you find an agency, they can help control the risks and reduce the probability of making mistakes.

Whether it is good or not depends on the situation. If the enterprise itself has a professional customs declaration team, then it is okay to do it by itself. But if you don't have experience, finding an agency can indeed help you avoid detours, but you have to choose a reliable one.
