The job of customer service for import and export agency is somewhat challenging, but it can be done well after mastering the skills. Daily tasks need to handle customer inquiries, including import and export processes, policies and regulations, fees, etc., and one must be very familiar with the business knowledge. Also, it is necessary to coordinate with various parties, such as customers, suppliers, customs brokers, etc., to ensure the smooth import and export of goods.
In terms of pressure, if there are emergencies such as urgent shipments or customs inspections, they need to be handled promptly, and the pressure will be relatively high. The requirement for professional knowledge is relatively high, and one has to understand things like international trade terms, customs declaration processes, commodity classification, etc. However, if one has a strong learning ability and is willing to delve into it, with the accumulation of experience, the work will become more and more manageable, and one can also broaden the industry perspective.
Overall, if one treats it with dedication, this job can bring good career gains.

It's not easy to do. One often has to handle various complaints. Customers will come to the customer service if they are dissatisfied with the timeliness or fees, and one has to have a strong psychological endurance.

It's okay. As long as one keeps good communication with all parties and promptly feedbacks the progress, most problems can be solved smoothly, but sometimes one will be extremely busy.

It's quite difficult. One has to be familiar with the policies of different countries. Once the policies change, one has to learn and update the knowledge immediately, otherwise, one cannot give customers an accurate answer.

It's not easy to do. Sometimes customers' demands are unreasonable, but one still has to try to meet them, and the coordination is very headache.
