I'm planning to engage in import and export trade recently, but I'm not very familiar with the process. I want to find a reliable agency platform to help. May I ask everyone, what are the relatively good import and export trade agency platforms on the market currently? It would be best if you could elaborate on the characteristics and advantages of the platforms, such as service scope, charging standards, word-of-mouth, etc., so that I can make more comparisons and have a better understanding. Thank you all in advance!
