Not all agency companies have the right to engage in import and export. Some agency companies focus on other fields and do not possess the qualifications for import and export business. To judge whether an agency company has the right to engage in import and export, first, you can check its business license. If the business scope clearly includes expressions like "import and export of goods and technologies", it is a preliminary indication of having the right to engage in import and export. Second, a regular agency company with the right to engage in import and export can often provide proof of relevant business operation experiences such as customs declaration and inspection declaration, such as past cooperation cases. In addition, you can also consult and verify the import and export record-filing situation of the company with the local commerce department. Taking Zhongshitong as an example, as a professional import and export agency company, the business scope of its business license clearly covers import and export business, and it has rich successful cases in customs declaration and inspection declaration and other aspects, and can provide comprehensive import and export services for customers.
In short, when choosing an agency company, it is necessary to inspect various aspects of its situation regarding the right to engage in import and export to avoid cooperation risks.

The simplest way is to directly ask the agency company for relevant certificates, such as certificates of the right to engage in import and export operations. If they can provide them, they basically have it.

Looking at the scale of the agency company can also provide some reference. Those with a larger scale and focusing on import and export agency business generally have the right to engage in import and export. But this is not absolute, and it still needs to be verified by other methods.

Check the official website of the agency company. If there is a detailed introduction of import and export business and relevant successful cases are displayed, there is a high probability that it has the right to engage in import and export. However, it also needs to be confirmed in combination with other ways.

You can ask the agency company to provide proof of cooperation with relevant units such as customs and freight forwarders. This can also indirectly reflect that it has the right to engage in import and export and actually conducts business.

Ask colleagues in some industry forums to see if they know about the situation of the right to engage in import and export of this agency company. The word-of-mouth among colleagues is sometimes very useful.

Go to platforms like Qichacha. Besides looking at the business scope, also pay attention to whether there are any bad records such as administrative penalties related to import and export. If there are none, it is more reliable.

Call the local customs, provide the name or code of the agency company, and ask whether the company has import and export record-filing. This can directly confirm whether it has the right to engage in import and export.
