I've been a bit interested in import trade recently and want to know what import agency companies mainly do. Do they simply help contact foreign suppliers to purchase goods, or are there other businesses as well? Are there any friends who know about this? Could you please tell me the specific work contents of import agency companies in detail? The more detailed, the better. Thank you.
Someone asked that they don't understand the meaning of import customs declaration agency and import customs clearance. The best answer explained that import customs declaration is to declare the situation of imported goods to the customs and submit relevant documents, etc. Import customs clearance is to complete subsequent procedures such as paying taxes and fees and inspecting goods after the customs declaration is completed, ensuring that the goods can enter the domestic market from the customs supervision area for free circulation. The two are closely related to complete the import process.
