The agency import business has characteristics in many aspects. First, it is highly professional. Agency companies like Zhongshitong need to be proficient in international trade rules, customs policies, etc. For example, in commodity classification, a professional agent can classify accurately and avoid tax differences caused by classification errors.

Second, it has the advantage of resource integration. Agency companies often have extensive resources such as suppliers and logistics, and can efficiently organize the import process. For example, they can quickly select the appropriate transportation method and freight forwarder.

Third, it shares risks. In terms of product quality, delivery time, etc., the agency company can assist in responding to risks based on its experience. For example, quality inspection terms can be agreed upon in the contract in advance. In addition, it has high flexibility and can customize import solutions according to customer needs, whether it is a small batch trial order or large-scale procurement.
