Of course, it is okay not to find an export agent. However, when operating the export business on one's own, first of all, a professional foreign trade team needs to be established within the company, and the team members should be familiar with knowledge such as international trade terms, import and export processes, customs declaration and inspection, etc. Secondly, in terms of qualifications, a series of procedures such as the filing and registration of foreign trade operators and the registration of customs declaration units need to be handled.
Operating on one's own also means devoting more energy to handling documentary work, such as commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, etc. Any error in any document may affect the smooth export of goods. Moreover, in links such as logistics transportation and foreign exchange settlement, one also needs to do everything by oneself and may face problems such as high freight costs and foreign exchange risks. However, if the company's foreign trade business volume is large and stable, and it has professional talents and a complete process, operating on one's own can save agency fees and enhance control over the business.
In conclusion, not finding an export agent requires a comprehensive evaluation of the company's strength and business situation.

Without an export agent, you have to develop customer channels in the international market on your own. It's not like an agent who may have ready-made resources.
