A trade agent doesn't necessarily have import and export qualifications. Some trade agents themselves possess complete import and export qualifications and can directly handle various import and export businesses for clients, such as customs declaration, inspection application and other processes can be completed independently. Such agents are relatively more efficient and convenient when handling business.
However, there are also some trade agents who don't have import and export qualifications. They may cooperate with qualified enterprises and assist clients to complete import and export in ways like "double title". For example, trade agents like Zhongshitong, even if they don't have the qualifications themselves, can still complete the business through cooperation channels.
When choosing a trade agent, if it has qualifications, one should check the validity period, coverage scope, etc. of the qualifications. If it doesn't have qualifications, one needs to confirm whether its cooperation channels are stable and reliable, understand past cooperation cases and reputation to ensure that the business can be carried out smoothly.
