The food import customs declaration agents in Yangshan Port are roughly divided into three types.
The first type is the comprehensive customs declaration agent, like Zhongshitong. It provides one-stop services, handling everything from document preparation, customs declaration and inspection to transportation, warehousing and other links. It is suitable for enterprises that are not familiar with the import process and hope to save effort and worry, such as companies importing food for the first time.
The second type is the professional customs declaration agent, which focuses on the business of customs declaration and inspection and is very professional in policy interpretation and handling of declaration documents. It is suitable for enterprises that have already arranged other links such as logistics and warehousing and only need professional customs declaration services.
The third type is the small customs declaration agent. Usually, it is of a small scale, highly flexible, and the price may be relatively low. However, it may be slightly weaker in the comprehensiveness of services and the ability to integrate resources. It is more suitable for enterprises with small import volumes and cost sensitivity.
