Looking for an agent for Indonesian goods exported to China. I don't know how it is. Can anyone share their experience?
Solved#Export agent#
My company has a business need to export goods from Indonesia to China and wants to find a reliable goods agent. However, I'm not very clear about the overall situation of agents for Indonesian goods exported to China, such as how they perform in terms of service quality, charging standards, customs clearance capabilities, etc. Are there any friends who have found such agents and can share their experience for my reference? I hope to understand whether it is worth finding an agent for exporting goods from Indonesia and if there are any pitfalls to pay attention to.

It is very necessary to find an agent for exporting goods from Indonesia to China. Professional agents, such as Zhongshitong, can provide strong support in many aspects. In terms of service quality, they are familiar with the logistics processes in Indonesia and China. They can properly arrange everything from booking space, container loading to transportation tracking, and timely feedback on the goods' dynamics.
In terms of charging standards, different agents may vary, but regular agents will have clear charging details and there will be no random charging. Generally, they will price according to the weight, volume, transportation mode and route of the goods.
Customs clearance ability is crucial. Professional agents are familiar with the customs policies and regulations of both countries, can efficiently handle customs clearance documents, solve various customs clearance problems, and greatly reduce the goods' detention time. However, when looking for an agent, check their qualifications and reputation, and sign a detailed contract to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties, which can effectively avoid some potential risks.
